Grammy-winning artist, producer and DJ Diplo returns with his first country release since 2025, joining forces with rising country star Adrien Nunez for a new single “Two Steppin,’” out today via Atlantic Outpost.
“Adrien and I knew we made something special with this track,” says Diplo. “It was only right that we debuted it at Stagecoach — it’s the biggest party in country music, there’s no place like it. Stoked to have my first release with Atlantic Outpost; I’m looking forward to lots more great country music with them.”
“I’m really excited for this song, it’s one of those that just feels fun from the first listen,” adds Nunez. “I’ve always loved music that makes people want to move and blending that country energy with dance music felt like the perfect way to create something wild, upbeat and made for a good time.”
Diplo and Nunez debuted “Two Steppin’” during Diplo’s electrifying close-out Stagecoach performance to a massive crowd of over 65,000. 2026 marks Diplo’s sixth Stagecoach performance and fourth iteration of Diplo’sHonkyTonk, his own curated stage with a lineup of artists across genres. The tent saw appearances and performances from a host of friends including Sydney Sweeney, Waka Flocka, Stella Lefty, Juicy J, Theo Von and Caleb Pressley. Throughout the weekend, Diplo also teased new music with breakout country artist Cameron Whitcomb.
“Two Steppin’” marks Diplo’s highly anticipated first country release since 2025’s “Ashes” with Bailey Zimmerman.
