NEW YORK, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced
today that GRAMMY award winning producer and DJ Diplo will launch
his own radio channel, Diplo's Revolution, exclusively on
SiriusXM.
The channel, which will launch on Thursday, March 22, will feature global rhythmic
music hand-selected by Diplo, as well as regular original shows
hosted by Diplo, Dillon Francis and
Major Lazer members Jillionaire and
Walshy Fire. Diplo's Revolution will also showcase the biggest
songs in global, hip hop, experimental and underground dance
culture.
The channel will air live festival coverage from the most
important electronic music festivals around the world including
Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas and more.
In addition to championing the diverse and eclectic musical tastes
that have put Diplo at the forefront of music and pop culture,
Diplo's Revolution will also include songs from his solo projects,
Major Lazer, Jack Ü and further
upcoming collaborations.
Diplo's exclusive SiriusXM channel will launch with a special
live performance from the Faena Theater in Miami Beach on Thursday, March 22 at 9:00
pm ET. This exclusive performance, for SiriusXM subscribers,
will feature DJ sets from Diplo and friends, and will air live
on Diplo's Revolution, on SiriusXM channel 52 and through the
SiriusXM app.
"I'm so stoked to be starting my own channel with
SiriusXM. Back in 2012 I had a show with them called 'Blow
Your Head,' and it's awesome to be back in the family launching
this project together. I'm excited to share my favorite music from
all over the world, and can't wait to have tons of friends on to do
the same," said Diplo.
"It's exciting to have GRAMMY winner Diplo as part of the
SiriusXM family. I have no doubt that Diplo's
Revolution will quickly become a listener favorite among our
already popular dance channels, especially given his work as not
only a solo artist but as part of Jack Ü and Major Lazer," said Scott
Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer of SiriusXM.
"A well-respected producer, tastemaker, DJ, writer and performer,
Diplo will share his singular point of view with SiriusXM
listeners, exposing them to the most important dance music from
around the globe."
Diplo will host a weekly music show, Records on
Records, on Diplo's Revolution that will air on Fridays
at 7:00 pm ET. The show will feature Diplo's selections from
dance music and beyond worldwide. Additionally, Diplo will
also host a monthly show, Diplo's Wavelength, based on
the cultures and music he discovers while touring the
world. Diplo's Wavelength will air the
first Friday of every month.
A global superstar, Diplo has worked with some of today's most
important artists including Beyoncé, Justin
Bieber and The Weeknd, and has toured the world solo as
Diplo, as one half of Jack Ü with Skrillex and as one
third of Major Lazer. Diplo's new
exclusive SiriusXM channel will highlight the renowned producer's
worldwide influence.
