Video Dingbat Preview: Diplo

I'm currently working on setting up a video podcast to accompany this blog. It should launch properly sometime in March but in the meantime here's a preview of the interview I did with Diplo last night and let me know if you have any problems with the file.

Diplo Interview Preview (.m4v iPod Video format, should play in Quicktime and iTunes)

Diplo played one of the greatest sets I've ever had the chance to dance to. He played for close to two hours an covered a whole lot of musical territory. It put 2 Many DJs' Big Day Out set (which I loved) to shame. Here are a few of the highlights.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion (Diplo Remix)
TV on the Radio vs Africa Bambaataa - Staring At The Sun (Hollertronix Mash Up)
Diplo - Gold Digger Remix (direct link from FormDiplo)

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' track is off the forthcoming Gold Lion single which you can preorder from InSound. The second two are off Hollertronix #2 & #3 that you can grab through Money Studies at Turntable Lab. You can also get Diplo's Fabric Live 24 mix from the Fabric Online Store. He plays in Melbourne tonight and Sydney tomorrow so check him out if you can.

Datarock - I Used To Dance With My Daddy

I thought I'd throw this up as well since Datarock deserve credit for their great performance last night as well. These guys really know how to rock a crowd and have quite good sense of humour too. Be sure to check them out live if you have a chance.
