Diplo

Diplo's musical taste speaks for itself. Famous for championing many different sounds. Genre’s as diverse as "Brazilian Baile Funk" to the "Bassiest Baltimore" offerings; remixing most famously with M.I.A on "Paper Planes", and more recently serving up his tastings with Santigold.

His "Favela Strikes Back" mixtape brought Rio to the mainstream and also was partly responsible for the setting up of the Mad Decent label. Diplo's own imprint for artists he wants to bring to the world. Here is a Dj who genuinely loves music in the most reverent irreverent fashion. Sources as diverse as Aboriginal rap on "Smash a Kangaroo" anyone?

On duties remixing names rightfield to leftfield, DJ Shadow, Qwen Stefani, to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Golden Lion". All with his take musically and his southern Hip Hop sensibilities.

On the decks expect fine turntablism of the highest order to get your booty down low to.
