all things goodship

diplo’s got a “collected works” coming out called Decent Work for Decent Pay. apparently it’s out in the UK already, or at least the Ninjatune shop wants you to buy it. in any case, when you can buy it, buy it, but in the meantime do what you gotta do. that link has the tracklist.

while trying to figure out when that came out, I noticed he put out his first single on his own label Mad Decent. grab it from turntablelab here.

so, without directly helping the cause, here’s a live set from diplo–one of my favorites–playing in NYC at Halycon way back when. on the surface it sounds much different than his recent stuff, but you can still hear his signature mixing style/long-term flow thing going on. it’s a journey and all that. couldn’t find a track list, but its a wide mix of stuff, from jazz to hip hop to 80’s to a cover of hotel california sung in spanish. ok that last one may be a lie. recommended for early mornings, late nights, and/or work time.

Diplo - Live At Halcyon, NYC. November 26, 2004 (about an hour long and awesome)
