Diplo Promises EP, Drops Moombahton Slow Jam in Meantime

Diplo Promises EP, Drops Moombahton Slow Jam in Meantime

It's been Two Long Months Since "Express Yourself" and the Producer Extraordinaire is Setting It Off

By Suyeon Kim | May 17, 2012

Stoking the flames of our Diplo desire, the Phily-via-Florida production whiz has just dropped his version of a slow jam. Meaning not that slow at all, really. But compared to the energy (aka azz-shaking) of “Express Yourself,” his first single off his upcoming EP of the same name, latest track “Set It Off” launches into a blissed out, ethereal space — as ethereal as you can get while making basement-shaking moombahton.

And per Diplo’s genius in collaboration, on “Set It Off,” he worked with a Burlington, VT duo whose name so embodies everything Diplo stands for that I wonder if they’re just a musical shell company controlled by Mad Decent: Lazerdisk Party Sex. Their FB looks legit though, so I guess not. I suppose we’re just living in the kind of world where lasers get spelled lazer, even in the cold hippie climes of Vermont.

Diplo’s Express Yourself EP is out soon.
