"Holy shit. off to a good fucking start!"...a text I just got from a friend who's at the Diplo/Justice show in Seattle...this same friend will be here this Thursday to watch the very same show in SF with me...yeah! Hopefully it's not the same show. With DJs you never know if they'll mix it up when they're in different towns or not. I have to say thankfully Diplo is one of those DJs who usually does. I have seen him more times than I can count on two hands. Only once was I ever disappointed and I swear it's because someone stole his crates and/or gave him some glue. In any case it's only 9:30 and apparently Diplo is on already...I just texted my friend and asked if he was sure it was Diplo to which he replied "I'm 99% sure its Dips. but only 99%. oh yeah and again...holy shit!" So yeah it's prolly Diplo. As the cool kids say, he brings it!
Diplo is an OG from that place where all the crazy kids come from...that would be Flo-Rida! Speaking of Flo-Rida here is a freestyle remix I found of "Low". It's ok. Not really impressed...but for those of you heads that have to have every remix here you are:

Back to talkin' bout Florida...Oh yeah...the water is tainted there I have living proof of it! However most people are smart enough to leave like our pal Diplo here. Where do you think he went? I'll give you two guesses it could either start with a B or a P. Yes, Philly you guessed it. However, don't be fooled. He has a huge presence in B'More. He is the other 1/2 of Hollertronix...his counterpart is the infamous Low-Budget, better known as Low-B. Of course you know that he's collaboed with everyone from my boys S.Rock, Plastic Little, Blaqstarr, Scottie B, Sega and everyone who is anyone in B'More. Truly though most people who didn't have their ear to the ground, really got to know him via M.I.A. So I've decided in light of my going to see Diplo this week, most posts will be related to the b'mo/philly family tree. Ha, you're thinking, WTF? Haven't most of her posts been about the B'More/Philly family tree? Ok, mea culpa but I promise that I will mix it up. I swear!!! I was originally going to post like 6 Diplo and Co. related mixes on this post, but thought no, I'll make you kids wait for it. A little at a time otherwise you'll burn and crash like a sugar high!
I just got an updated text that merely said "holy shit balls for reals"...oh that Diplo...he's a crazy cat! So the first Diplo mix I am giving you is not his best. I know you're thinking why the fuck bother? Well I had not heard it until today and like all things Diplo, his mixes kind of have to grow on you. It's not bad though by any means. It apparently was a New Year's mix. For the fucking life of me I cannot find the tracklisting. I know!!! Totally sucks!!! I have searched high and low and been completely unsuccessful. I will say this, he samples Khia's "My Neck, My Back"...I am sure it's someones record remix of it...for all I know it could be his...if someone knows let me know...point is...it's a 3 minute sample and for those of you with the little ones who have told me you've downloaded my mixes I've posted...a fair warning that one of my favorite words gets a lot of attention...yes, that would be pussy. So unless your kid thinks pussy is Thomas the Train's green friend, you may not want to play this in front of them. You know you've all danced to that Khia song. I actually have a funny story about that...but not for tonight...another time. So without anymore of my rambling, here you go:

i enjoy that my texts were interwoven with this post....nice. only one correction- you *do* hope dips plays the same set on thursday that he played tonight. i guarantee that if he does that, neither of us will be disappointed.
Hmmm, I am going to disagree with you here Bob. I am sure the set will be similar as most Djs have their favorite records they play on tour...I've been reading his tour blog by the by, but I am quite certain it will be different. Too bad I can't see those vids you took *before* we go to the show! And speaking of vids, I am still waiting for my Cut/Shadow vid cd, please and thank you!
aw, pussy.
