2015 marked the year that Diplo made waves as one of music's most influential producers. With the success of Jack U and Major Lazer, Diplo has earned the title of being the “Dance Artist Of The Year.”
Billboard revealed their 3rd annual Power List of DJs and Execs earlier this morning. In response to the achievement, Diplo said that “the DJ world is the corniest f–ing group of people. We’re not celebrities, we’re not famous for any good reason. We’re just … really lame. Besides people like Dillon Francis, who makes fun of the whole thing, or Calvin Harris, it’s a sinking ship. It’s a really lame culture. I’m sad that I’m part of it, but I play the game.”
In addition to Diplo, Billboard also revealed other Power DJs including Above & Beyond, Steve Aoki, Deadmau5, DJ Snake, Flume Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Kaskade, Kygo, Skrillex, The Chainsmokers and Tiesto.
