SIRIUSXM's ELECTRIC AREA EDM channel will give way to a channel branded by one of the format's most familiar DJs, DIPLO.  "DIPLO'S REVOLUTION" will debut MARCH 22nd on channel 52, sporting playlists created by DIPLO as well as original shows hosted by DIPLO ("RECORDS ON RECORDS," FRIDAYS at 7p (ET), and "DIPLO'S WAVELENGTH," monthly), DILLON FRANCIS, and MAJOR LAZER's JILLIONAIRE and WALSHY FIRE and live EDM festival coverage.  The channel will launch with live sets from the FAENA THEATER in MIAMI BEACH.

DIPLO said, "I'm so stoked to be starting my own channel with SIRIUSXM. Back in 2012 I had a show with them called 'BLOW YOUR HEAD,' and it's awesome to be back in the family launching this project together. I'm excited to share my favorite music from all over the world, and can't wait to have tons of friends on to do the same."

“It’s exciting to have GRAMMY winner DIPLO as part of the SIRIUSXM family. I have no doubt that DIPLO’S REVOLUTION will quickly become a listener favorite among our already popular dance channels, especially given his work as not only a solo artist but as part of JACK Ü and MAJOR LAZER,” said SIRIUSXM President/Chief Content Officer SCOTT GREENSTEIN. “A well-respected producer, tastemaker, DJ, writer and performer, DIPLO will share his singular point of view with SIRIUSXM listeners, exposing them to the most important dance music from around the globe.”
