I have had this on preorder for quite a while, and im impressed. This book really tracks Diplo from his beginnings up to where he is now. Its a good view of the Mad Decent label and the music that Diplo has worked so hard on and the touring he has done.Being mostly pictures, everything is properly captioned and laid out in a very readable/viewable manner. Its like a visual insight into his life. If you want to complement this book have a look at the short documentary about diplo that is on youtube :)
An excellent visual guide through the eyes of Diplo's photography, Shane Mccauley. Though quite short, it shares a nice insight of Diplo's passion. Music exploration.I would of liked more written stories, but the ones included are spot on with the photos. Definitely worth having for any Mad Decent/Diplo fan :)
Saw Diplo play at Stereosonic after having my eye on this book for a while and that convinced me to make the purchase. A very interesting look into the history of his music and the people that he's worked with.Some great photography and insight into the life of a ripper EDM producer.
If you are a fan of Diplo it's definitely a cool thing to have. Not a lot of writing but this is basically his snapchat, before snapchat. Diplo provides a few little nuggets within the limited writing that totally bring this together. Even in 2016 this holds up and is worth having. Buy a copy before you can't find it anymore.
Great for inspo before trips to new lands and a reminder that there's a lot of fun to be had out there.Pretty pictures of good parties + global pit stops. Oh to be a world famous DJ / Producer / Beat pusher...
this is a cool picture book of Diplo's many travels as a dj, includes some set list/mixes he has made. Not a lot of writing, mainly relies on the pictures to show his travels around the U.S. and the world. Even if you are not a huge fan of his, the pictures are entertaining enough to want to buy this book, makes you wish you had his job.
This is too short !Definitely loved the trip down Diplo's memory lane.Would have loved a bit more in depth stories and maybe a couple short interviews of some of the protagonists shown would have been a great bonus. Nonetheless, pics are great and it is a great insight into one of 21st century major artist's life.
