Diplo

hip-hop // abstract electronic

Complex aural acrobatics. Hard-hitting rhythm. Diplo popped up on my radar screen on a random FTP site, his name was enough to catch my attention. I listened to the bootleg album, Sound and Fury, and the most original, odd, and beautiful sound came out of my speakers. One could describe his sound as Timbaland meets Amon Tobin. The man drops a serious beat, plus he uses soulseek!
Summer’s Gonna Hurt You has been my late summer anthem. Feel the craziest beat creations you’ve known.

    Great, great song, very interesting. Chilled out but you can’t not pay attention to it. Lots going on over something very simple. Will be listening to more of him…
