• DJ Mustard Remixes Beyoncé's '7/11' [LISTEN]

    DJ Mustard is on the track. The prolific YG collaborator who dominated 2014 with his club-friendly sound has gotten back into the remix game with a fresh new take on Beyoncé's smash single "7/11" from the platinum version of her platinum selling artist album Beyoncé. Mustard does what he does so well in giving the fun, upbeat, autotuned original a club-friendly makeover with more powerful drums, bigger chords, chops up the vocals to fit the structure of the song and adds his own "drop" with pitched, rising synths.
  • Did Diplo Post Jack Ü's EP Tracklist on Instagram?

    Diplo took to Instagram late last night, a medium where he likes to post bathroom selfies and videos and pictures of girls twerking and show pictures and the occasional important piece of information about his career. Delivering on an important piece of news, it appears the "Revolution" producer has uploaded the tracklist to the long-awaited EP from Jack Ü, his super duo with Skrillex.

They capped things off with a headlining show at Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve, a gig normally reserved for jam band heroes Phish.

  • Skrillex Previews Beyoncé '7/11' Jack Ü Remix At OWSLA Holiday Party [LISTEN]

    Most run of the mill holiday parties end in everyone going home in a drunken stupor after trying to empty the bar. Only one of these parties were lucky enough to have Skrillex show up and play his brand new remix of Beyoncé "7/11" alongside Diplo as a part of their super-duo Jack Ü. Premiering the remix at the holiday party in Los Angeles for his label, OWLSA, Sonny Moore, also known as Skrillex, performed a frenetic 70 minute set, which included the new Bey remix.

  • Diplo, Skrillex Talk Jack Ü, MSG on NYE, NYC Club Scene, More

    Skrillex and Diplo are just a week away from the biggest show of their lives. On New Year's Eve, the duo, known as Jack Ü, will be headlining Madison Square Garden with the help of Rudimental, Yellow Claw and A$AP Ferg. The duo spoke with "Time Out" magazine in preparation of the show to speak about Jack Ü, the New York club scene and the aforementioned show at MSG. Even for a massive venue like Madison Square Garden, which can pack close to 20,000 people, Skrillex still holds the belief that it will "feel intimate and personal." "We don't have a real rock-star approach with security all around us. It'll be a party. We'll have lots of special guests come out," he says. Diplo adds, "You'll be hearing some of the Jack Ü songs we've done, live, for the first time. The artists we've cut the records with will be performing with us. Both of us take it very seriously; if you've ever seen us perform live, you'll know the production value is insane." He even invited the entire New York Knicks team to shoot warm-ups during their set. Unfortunately for Diplo, the team will be in Los Angeles for a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, but that is probably for the best since the team probably would miss most of those pre-game shots. Diplo gave an honest opinion on the EDM scene, proclaiming it "dead."

  • Jack U Release 'Take U There' Featuring Kiesza Music Video [WATCH]

    As they announced on Power 106's "Big Boy's Neighborhood," Skrillex and Diplo have released the music video for their super duo Jack U's debut single "Take U There" alongside must-watch Canadian singer Kiesza. The video is not a big-budget music video you may find from a major-label-signed pop star, but is more of a well-produced do-it-yourself video. It features footage of Jack U performing across the Mad Decent Block Party tour this summer in Los Angeles and Dallas, with clips of the New York show at MCU Park, where "Take U There" was performed with live vocals from Kiesza for the first time. The music video takes a trippy turn with wacky Disclosure — like drawings over their faces and cartoonish animations overlaying the two DJs and singer dancing. You can tell it was pretty DIY when the police stop them for filming the video in the street. It shows the carefree and fun-loving attitude from these three, via "Spin."
