Review: Diplo

Diplo is a professional. He hit the stage Sunday night, promptly at midnight, calmly finishing the end of his banana. He rocked the house from 12 to 2, with an extra fifteen minutes of fun after the lights went up and the club closed down.  At first, he took some time to test the water, feeling out the crowd with some well known dubstep tunes such as his track with Borgore "Sunset." In short order though, he began throwing out some curveballs such as hardcore dirty south rap songs, a touch of Trance, and even a Goa beat! Diplo hit on many genres, in an exciting set that was everything you would hope for while staying fresh and unpredictable, including a full twenty minutes of the hottest new Moombahton tracks from some of the artists on Mad Decent. Also he debuted an unreleased Rusko track that sounded melodic and wobbly (no suprises there). Absolute hilarity ensued once the lights came on and the club was trying to close, he continued with the crowd pleasing radio hit "All of the Lights" by Kanye followed by "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child mixed with "Zombie Nation" by Kernkraft500!? Yea.  The best part was after the show instead of the club employees pushing everyone out in a hurry they allowed Diplo to graciously sign autographs and slap up the very grateful fans.  All in all, it was an amazing dance party and a complete thrill to see such a talented performer whose fame has not gone anywhere near his head.
