The Grammys boys are back. In a fashion less formal than the Grammys, Skrillex, A-Trak, and Diplo have been taking to their social media outlets to hint at a special date for what is expected to be a collaboration from the super-trio. Both A-Trak and Skrillex have posted photos of the collective group to their Instagram accounts, using the caption “Potato Will Eat You.” Diplo most recently posted his own photo of a street sign that reads “Warning: Potato Will Eat You Feb 18 2013,” and confirmed the date and title on his own Twitter. As of writing, all three producers — including the OWSLA official account — have posted the street sign to their Instagram accounts.
More evidence has come in the form of a teaser video posted to Diplo’s YouTube video account and the alleged collaboration’s own website which you can find here. Jump below the break for the video teaser and all evidence that points to Skrillex, A-Trak, and Diplo’s “Potato Will Eat You” on February 18th.

In anticipation of his Clarity remix compilation due out Feb 12, Zedd teased Tiesto‘s rendition of the powerful production today. Last year his concept album by the same name became a defining release in the young producer’s career. “Spectrum” — the first single off the album — reached number one on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs chart and a remix EP featuring reworks from artists like A-Trak & Clockwork, Arty, and Armin Van Buuren to name a few. Zedd is ready to give “Clarity” the same treatment with another extended play via Interscope Records.

Grandtheft caught our attention with his remix Calvin Harris‘ infamous “Sweet Nothing” alongside Diplo last year. The 2012 hit, featuring the soulful vocals of Florence Welch, received reworks from the likes of Tiesto and Qulinez, but Diplo and Grandtheft’s trap rendition stole the spotlight. Now the Canadian producer is back at it, giving listeners another remix driven by the pitch-down drum kicks of trap.
His latest remix is a rework of A-Trak and Tommy Trash‘s “Tuna Melt,” and was released after the Fool’s Gold head honcho — A-Trak — reached 300k twitter followers Friday. Grandtheft’s remix of the already grinding electro track tones down the tempo, before slapping listeners in face with hip-hop infused bass drops. A complete turn around from the original, the “Tuna Melt” remix is another huge output from the rising producer.
