Diplo’s radio show Diplo & Friends has opened our eyes to a lot of things we wouldn’t necessarily be aware of. Typically, it’s an up and coming artist that we’ve never heard of or a new style that catches our ear and turns us onto a whole new direction of dance music. It’s rare, however, that a very well established artist takes over on Diplo & Friends and totally surprises us. Well, Hardwell took over this who this past weekend and gave us an hour mix of dance hall (Pause here to collect your thoughts).
One of the biggest DJs in the world who is well known for his electro/hardstyle anthems went back to his underground roots for this mix. Yep, in his home country of Holland, Hardwell is actually known for helping to pioneer the style, “Bubbling Beats” a combination of hip hop, dancehall, and reggae. Surprising right? Well check out the hour long mix and see what you think! I’ll let you in on a secret, if you’re a dancehall fan, you’ll definitely be digging this mix!
