Straight from his headline set and label take over at the Brooklyn Mirage, international super star DJ Diplo joined the gang on the L train for a cheeky subway rave from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
A superstar DJ, sought-after producer, taste-making label owner, and wizard behind Major Lazer, Diplo (aka Diplodocus, Wes Diplo, and Wes Gully) launched his career on the fringes of dance music. With his mash-up mixtapes, he found and created a sound where his musical tastes -- ’80s pop, electronica, Dirty South hip-hop, and his major influence, Miami bass music -- intersect. His attention-grabbing projects Hollertronix, with partner DJ Low Budget, and the 2004 Piracy Funds Terrorism, Vol. 1 mixtape with British-Sri Lankan MC ., made a heavy impact on the alternative electro-pop scene, amassing rave reviews from music critics and indie kids alike. Later, his Mad Decent imprint presented the edge of pop, hip-hop, and dance music while his conceptual Major Lazer project mixed dancehall with rave culture and toured the globe as a live-party sound system. By the late 2010s, high-profile projects with Skrillex (Jack Ü) and Mark Ronson (Silk City) both yielded Grammy wins for collaborations with Justin Bieber and Dua Lipa, respectively. He also teamed with Labrinth and Sia to form the supergroup LSD. Heading into the 2020s, the versatile artist segued into territories ranging from country to ambient, focusing on house music through his Higher Ground imprint and his 2022 self-titled full-length, then developing a parallel country-pop path with his Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley albums, which arrived in 2020 and 2023, respectively.
