Description
DIPLO is the sensational new signing to BIG DADA, and 'Florida' is an album that will be talked about for a long time to come.
This record is quite fantastic, and will give you back the feeling you had when you first heard the groundbreaking sounds of DJ SHADOW, PORTISHEAD or TRICKY.
Like an instrumental hip hop suite,
Diplo has a crate digger's ear for a sample and a classical composer's feel for composition.
'Florida' has a hard-edged, razor-drummed, crunked up Southern bounce. Like DJ SHADOW meeting the sound of MIAMI BASS.
This album also includes vocals from VYBZ CARTEL (of "Up 2 Di Time" fame, the hottest, most credible star in Jamaica), MARTINA TOPLEY-BIRD (known for her work with TRICKY, and Mercury Music Prize nominee) and P.E.A.C.E. (the Freestyle Fellowship legend).
Diplo has written beats for both DAVID BANNER and BIGG JUS (COMPANY FLOW), and is already renowned as a DJ thanks to the HOLLERTRONIX mixtape and parties he founded, and the recent megamix he made for RJD2).
