{ Diplo "Florida" (Big Dada) }

The new rekkid off label Big Dada is none other than DJ and producer Diplo, bringin' it soggy and hot with his first full-length titled "Florida". Many have heard of Diplodocus, primarily for his association with the oh-so-hot-last-week mash-up crew Hollertronix, where he showed off psycho-hot DJ skills with partner in grime Low Budget, mixing whack-ass gems with hot-ass jams to serve you an all-new kind of freshness. Well, now he has struck out on his own, and with "Florida" comes the sweat. Our man Diplo comes from the south, excuse me, The South, creeping thru the swamps of Mississippi and Florida, where he rocked many a party before eventually bringin' it up north (sadly still lower case) to deliver funky riddums of all kinds. This new record naturally throws it all over the place when it comes to style, sounding off with everything from downtempo hip-hop to dancehall to nasty Miami bass, sewn together with heaping helpings of st-st-stuttering beats, almost 'Nawlins horns, weird beeps, field recordings, trippy crunk, the occasional vocal here and there, and a nice batch of backporch swamp love. It's a smart and dark record, but it can still move some butts with it's refined southern hospitality. Cookin'.
