Diplo's world-beating BBC Radio 1 mixshow, Diplo & Friends, is nothing if not consistent... consistently packing heat. The show has brought an extreme variety in talents since it's inception, a reflection of Diplo's ecelctic taste, and consistently blows minds. Last week Colorado's Paper Diamond took to the deck to turn in his own hour installment and the result was mint.
A mix of dancefloor killers and headphone heat, this mix culls tunes from the likes of Russia's 813, Memphis' Juicy J, Toronto's Zeds Dead, Hawaii's Mr. Carmack, France's DJ Snake, and more. The mix is a good showcase of Paper Diamond's extended hip-hop background (he used to make beats as Alex B.) and his love for the Colorado-styled, "funky electro soul lazer bass" kind of sound. The set twists and turns but never once too violently. The rip from the broadcast is available for download via SoundCloud, but Paper Diamond's also uploaded the uncensored mix without vocal drops. Dive in.
