Yesterday on BBC Radio 1 Diplo ditched his friends and hit the decks, he played a two-hour hip hop mix which was filled with some very funky surprises. At the start of his broadcast he said: “I’m gonna call this my rollerskating rink mix, ’cause it goes through everything like funk, early hip-hop, golden era hip-hop, ’90s hip-hop, all the way to Southern hip-hop I’d hear in the clubs.”
This “Rollerskating Thru the Universe” set offers records by Kraftwerk, Dilla, Blondie, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and many more. It seems like every time we need to hear something refreshing Diplo delivers. Stream and/or download a copy of this two hour odyssey below.
