Diplo

Seemingly a poster boy for diversity in dance music, Diplo has done a bit of everything. From producing (former?) indie stars like M.I.A. and Santigold to working with big leaguers like Tiesto and even Christina Aguilera, not to mention beating the drum for baile funk and dubstep early on and letting loose records from Rusko, Blaqstarr and the Major Lazer project co-created with Switch on his Mad Decent label, Diplo’s activity over the last decade can only be described as prolific.
