The artist who first brought M.I.A to our ears, Diplo's endless quest for new sounds has reinvigorated today's popular music. From Rio de Janeiro to London, Wes Pentz aka Diplo has searched the world over for new styles of music, and masterfully converts his findings into party gems. Having started the Hollertronix parties in Philadelphia with Low Budget, Diplo became known as the DJ unafraid to play whatever got the party moving. This attitude has lead him to uncover new music styles, such as Grime originating from the council estates of East London, Baile Funk from the depths of Rio de Janeiro's Favelas (slums), Crunk from Americas dirty south, and Baltimore House from the violence-riddled US city. Diplo is a true master of his craft. He managed to avoid playing predictable dance floor hits, keeping his crowd dancing with an eclectic mix of Hip Hop, Crunk, Baile Funk, Baltimore House, Grime, Electro, Tropicalia, Rock, and more. Thus far he has produced and remixed acts such as Gwen Stefani, Le Tigre, Beck, M.I.A, Kano and Bloc Party, and his list of credits continue to grow.
