Random White Dude Graces Fans With Hour-Long KIIS FM Mix
Tristan Chang
Just in time for your mid-week turn up session, everyone’s favorite random white dude, Diplo, has graciously thrown together an hour long mix for KIIS FM. Diplo’s 60-minute showcase definitely takes listeners for a spin, sampling several genres including: hip-hop, trap, dubstep, deep house, and even some festival-friendly sounds. The mix features big names from Beyoncé to Disclosure, but the highlight of the entire KIIS FM performance was undoubtedly the tasteful, yet mind-blowing Major Lazer dub of Kiesza’s ‘Hideaway’-that emerges mid-way through the set (26:28 to be exact). Reminiscent of when Diplo teased a dub plate of Madonna’s ‘La Isla Bonita‘ on Annie Mac, this edit is perfect. While Diplo continues to fend off the barrage of disgruntled fans regarding his recent ban of kandi at his Mad Decent Block Parties, he has clearly not let the noise get in the way of his musical endeavors. Having aired an incredible 2-hour live from Las Vegas edition of Diplo and Friends on BBC 1Xtra earlier this week, and now gracing us with this gem, it has certainly been a eventful week for Diplo and his fans. Be sure to check out Diplo’s KIIS FM mix below, and let us know what you think!
