Diplo is Working With Beyonce!

Diplo is constantly keeping himself busy working on many projects. So much so, that any time he spends outside of performing at nightclubs, he is locked up in the studio working on collaborations and original works.  The "Original Don" has returned to assisting the pop community and has been recently lending a hand to Beyonce. Busy preparing for her upcoming Mrs. Carter tour, is in the mist of wrapping up her new album, Fifth Long Player.

In a recent interview with NME, Diplo revealed, “I'm in the middle of something for her at the moment.”

The question is- what on earth could Diplo be producing for Beyonce's pop audience? We think that the influence of EDM is extending into pop even further than Pitbull and Will.i.am tracks. EDM producers could very well be the future beat-makers for pop artists as we know it.

Swedish House Mafia Reunion to Happen This Summer?

May the predicted Swedish House Mafia Reunion show happen sooner then even the cynical pundits predicted?

Mixmag has reported it is a strong possibility to happen this summer.  The three former members of Swedish House Mafia, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Axwell, will all be in Ibiza this summer.  Their occupation of the White Isle comes with reason. Ingrosso and Axwell are launching a new wednesday party at Ushuaia named Departures.  Leaving the lone wolf, Steve Angello, to throw his own after party at new ibiza club, Bomba.

Due to the Mafia's former members geographic proximity, it's not a stretch to assume the three friends will appear in the booth together at some point this summer.  Not to mention the times conveniently mesh well together to make such an appearance happen.

While all this is speculation at this point, it appears reasonable that it will be hard to keep the inseparable friends apart.

Do You Think The Reunion Will Happen This Summer? Sound off in the comments below.
