TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

Now on vinyl! Each copy includes a code redeemable for a high quality (320kbps) MP3 download of the full EP. Diplo's first proper solo release on Mad Decent is major. He finally delivers his version of the JB classic "Blow Your Head(1)." We first heard this mutant - half breed - mongoloid a couple years back on a Mad Decent Radio mix, but it's been under wraps since. Wicked wicked drums is all I have to say. "Must Be A Devil(2)" has a spaghetti western feel about it, another one of Diplo's strange concoctions that creeps into your brain. (It's a sort of rework of Pixies' "Hey" with ex-Bonde Do Role frontwoman Marina on vocals.) On the flip we get four remixes of "Wassup Wassup" featuring rising Bmore vocalist Rye Rye. I think DJ Sega(3) takes the honors amongst the big names (Crookers, Bart Bmore), watch for this kid.
