History
Diplo works as a producer who imports. His records take rhythms from Brazilian baile funk, Jamaican dancehall, soca and Southern rap radio and rebuild them for a festival sound system, usually around one rhythmic idea repeated until it becomes a hook. He came up through Philadelphia party nights and mixtapes, then turned that taste into an operation with the Mad Decent label, and his early work with M.I.A. set the template of borrowed drums under a pop vocal. Major Lazer, the group he built around dancehall, produced Lean On, whose main line is a synth pretending to be a reed instrument and whose drop empties the track out instead of exploding it. Jack U, the project with Skrillex, produced Where Are U Now, where a Justin Bieber vocal is chopped and pitched until it works as the lead instrument. The argument that follows him is about credit: who gets it when a local style becomes a global single. The craft is not in dispute. Few producers are better at hearing which single element a song can stand on.
