Sound and Fury

Diplo

Seventy minutes of dusty, sample-heavy trip-hop. A murky and cinematic precursor to the global pop sound that would later define the artist's career.

It's the secret trip-hop record Diplo made before he became a global party starter.

A hazy, nocturnal meditation on urban isolation and sampled memory.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the drums on One emerge from a thick layer of vinyl static and distant piano
The jarring rhythmic shift in Variation in Krunk where the beat stutters into a glitchy loop
The melancholic synth wash that anchors Slow Fall against its brittle percussion
