Diplo shares unreleased material

Fourteen years ago a young American musician in Japan sent a package containing a CDR to Big Dada with hopes of being that “avant garde dancehall” that they were looking for; fast forward to 2014 and that same musician now runs his own label Mad Decent and is better known for his Grammy-nominated productions with the likes of Beyonce and Justin Bieber.

We are of course talking about Wesley Pentz AKA Diplo, who has now announced the re-release of his debut LP ‘F10RIDA’ including ‘Epistomology Suite’ which was released around the same time, as well as five previously unreleased tracks.

Looking back on its first release Diplo explains “Making this record created an entirely new world for me. Now that I think back it’s a very strange beginning and it’s crazy it’s been 10 years since its first release, but really, this record represents my first 23 years of life – what I had inside of me and where I came from so I’m excited to revisit it.” 

F10RIDA is out with Big Dada on December 1st…
