Three of the biggest names in electronic music are launching a new YouTube channel called Potato on February 18th. To create the channel, Diplo, Skrillex, and A-Trak have paired up with IconicTV, which runs other YouTube stations including Jay-Z’s Life and Times. In a statement announcing the channel, its creators say they wanted to develop a music outlet that emulates the early days of MTV.
