DIPLO,

by day, he is producer and record company boss wesley pentz. but after the sun sets and the kids come out to play, wesley transforms, possibly in a telephone box, into diplo, US east coast DJ.

combining the hip-hop and the electronic, diplo rides the line between both scenes, blending in as many genres as he can pull off. speaking to the observer music monthly he explains what he does as "the ultimate postmodern music; taking samples from everywhere and fucking shit up". much like ex-girlfriend M.I.A. he is breaking down the barriers that divide the remaining dance music cliques.

his mixes soundtrack hipster parties both stateside and in europe, with his fabric set garnering unanimous praise from bloggers on both sides of the atlantic.

perhaps his greatest accomplishment however, is getting me to actually enjoy the god-awful genre that is "crunk".
