Say what you like about Diplo, but he’s certainly not boring. The straight-shooting DJ gets up to some enviable adventures, and he’s chronicled some of the best in 128 Beats Per Minute, his ‘visual guide to music, culture, and everything in between’.
The book tracks Diplo’s travels from his hometown Philadelphia to the reggae enclaves of Jamaica to Tel Aviv’s underground scene and plenty more. Each chapter comes with playlists and err, Tweets, from the man himself, alongside the photography of Shane McCauley. Naturally, there’s a foreword from fashion doyen and Diplo believer Alexander Wang. While it looks like this will be more about striking imagery than long passages from the pen of Diplo, you can colour us intrigued. The book’s not out until April 2012, so you can start saving your pennies.
