Music to lose your dignity to on the dance floor
-
We Say...
While Diplo's days of DJing for a couple hundred raucous Philly kids are long gone — he's been holding down the main room from Baltimore to Brazil since M.I.A.'s Arular — the spirit of his scene-skimming sets is sprinkled throughout Decent Work For Decent Pay. The first volume of a compilation series, it pairs a crate of hard-to-find remixes with a handful of old (the chain-linked 8-bit-isms and shuffled synths of "Percao," "Baby," "Diplo Rhythm" and "Newsflash") and new (the madcap rhymes and airy didgeridoo of "Smash a Kangaroo," a charity song that was tracked at a detention center down under) originals.
With their heavyweight breaks and woofer-wrecking bass lines, Diplo's commissioned cuts are where his floor-filling skills truly shine. Take "Veni Vidi Vici," for instance: by scrapping some of the garage-rock grime off the Black Lips single and applying a heavy coat of head-circling beats, Diplo loosens up both rhythm-less hipsters and sneaker-collecting hip-hop head. The same sort of crossover approach fuels the funk licks of "Put That Pussy On Me," the skittering, scampering chords of "Young Folks" and the stuttering samples of a rather manic "Shake a Fist." It's in no way subtle, but that's not the point; this is music you lose your dignity to on the dance floor.
