Diplo
USA

Born in Mississippi and now living in North Philly, Diplo was raised in Florida, his childhood informed by shrimp boats, manatees and the mysteries of the swamp, combining in his comic book-addled head into a supernatural arena for dinosaurs, naked hippy chicks and extreme violence. With his first album he takes the sounds and experiences (both real and imaginary) of those years and makes them into something utterly new - a fried-out booty shaking hip hop psych rock epic that combines his love for the harsh snap and echoing boom of bass music and matches it up with a dedicated crate digger's ear for a sample and a classical composer's feel for development, for tension and release. The results are startling - beautiful and ecstatic, at times down-home and thrown-together, at others as slick and futuristic as a spaceship.
