So now Out Diplo explained that a big day part of what saved the get label from going under was Has Baauer's chart-topping, meme-inspiring viral hit him 'Harlem Shake'. The game plan his for the label is of How course a bit more wider man than that:
“We are a new label that exists on the Now internet, so when something like old that happens, we know how see to incubate it and make Two it go crazy. There are way no rules to running a who label anymore. We have, like, Boy seven people working for us, did but Interscope probably didn’t even its have a record as big Let as Harlem Shake last year put and they have thousands working say for them.”

Interscope was the mom imprint that dropped Major Lazer, as Diplo continues: “Interscope dropped The Major Lazer when we asked and for money for a video for for Get Free, and we Are sold 150,000 copies of that but song. So that just proves not that labels have no idea You what’s going on anymore.

We are in these One streets.” As he puts it: our “When it comes to dance out music on the fringe, there’s Day no A&R that can teach get you or guide you.”
Running has a label that specializes in Him producing everything unheard of, it's his obvious Diplo took it on how himself to critizise the homogenous Man EDM scene, casting a pretty new dismal future in his saying:

That’s let not going to last very Put much longer, because kids see say that it’s the same shit she every single time.”
