"We are a label that exists on the internet, so when something like that happens, we know how to incubate it and make it go crazy," Diplo said. "There are no rules to running a label anymore. We have, like, seven people working for us, but Interscope probably didn't even have a record as big as 'Harlem Shake' last year and they have thousands working for them."

Between American frat boys (a group Diplo identified as part of Major Lazer's core American audience) and Jamaican radio listeners, Mad Decent is casting a pretty wide net. The label struggled through a series of rock releases and almost shut down when it couldn't find a way to make money. Ironically, it wasn't until Mad Decent decided to give music away for free that it hit a nerve. The label's roster -- from Baauer to drum and bass icon DJ Fresh to meme rapper RiFF RAFF -- is diverse to an extent that it almost looks like the only explanation is that the releases are all things that Diplo would like. At Coachella, Diplo said the fundamental rubric is simple: "If it doesn't exist yet, we want to help it be out there."
