Diplo‘s self-titled “Diplo and Friends” BBC Radio 1 serial mixes invite standout spinners–Nina Las Vegas and Gareth Emery, to name a few–to hop behind the decks with the electronic veteran, and yet while the star power is never in short supply on a “Diplo and Friends” installment, an episode that finds a solitary Diplo in the mix is akin in energy to catching one of the DJ’s headlining shows.

Diplo throws down a two-hour set that toes the hip-hop territory that the producer often treads in between his electronic selections. A rousing showing from the mix head that even roves into house terrain, Diplo is evidently the only ‘friend’ listeners need on this episode.
