Diplo and Skrillex team up to form Jack U, set to play at this summer’s Mad Decent Block Party
Back when Skrillex, Diplo and A-Trak were teasing Potato, many speculated that their cryptic messages were hinting at a new supergroup being formed. Not so sadly, Potato turned out to be a YouTube video channel that houses content from three of dance music's greatest tastemakers, leaving many satisfied but still mildly disappointed. The name Jack U first appeared yesterday on Mad Decent's Block Party lineup - a name that would have been easily glossed over as one of Mad Decent's yet-unknown talents but it has now been revealed as much more monumental than that with Diplo ditching any convoluted teasing and getting right to the point on Twitter yesterday.
Blow Your Head Episode 4: Drop the Lime

While previous episodes have featured 3BallMTY, MikeQ, and Rusty Lazer, this week delves into the life of New York's Luca Venezia, or Drop the Lime.
