If you tend to dislike the crowded, sweaty mess at a sold out Diplo show, then you can now get fucked up and listen to him deejay in the comfort of your own home (alone or with a bunch of friends) because the globetrotting, tweeting producer/DJ will now have his own weekly program for BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra called “Diplo & Friends.” Its inaugural broadcast will be this Saturday, April 7 from 1 – 3am GMT (8 – 10pm EST). What should you expect? There will be “exclusive mixes from Diplo, the Mad Decent stable of artists, and a selection of big name pals and cutting edge new artists.” The first episode will feature Canadian producer Lunice and Mad Decent creative director Paul Devro. Other guests for April episodes will include Dillon Francis, Flosstradamous, Brodinski and more.

Below is a new video of Spirit Animal’s trip to SXSW this year. We think that it’d be fun to hit the road with the power trio, or at least, get raging drunk and puff down with them. The footage was taken by BITBY’s Kyle Costill, Joshua “Shorty Boy-boy” Pannepacker, The Veda Rays, and Spirit Animal, and edited by VJ Kraken. Special thanks to BITBY for bringing it to our attention.

Here’s the new album Hot Love from The Lawsuits that just dropped today. You can download the 4-song EP for free below. The Lawsuits will be celebrating its release this Saturday, April 7 at MilkBoy Philly with Levee Drivers, Penrose and Mountjoy.

Travel back in time tonight where pompadours and vintage guitar licks ruled the earth with Philly’s favorite retro sons Blood Feathers. They’ll be bringing their finely-crafted rock ‘n’ roll gems to the big stage of The Troc this evening to get the locals moving as the band warms up the crowd for rad grrrl power ensemble Wild Flag and Merge Records’ indie popsters Hospitality. Good times will be had by all! The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 9pm, $18 adv/$20 door, All Ages (Photo by Derek Brad) – H.M. Kauffman
