Hip-hop voodoo homage to the Sunshine State. Inspired by the state where he grew up, Philadelphia-based beatmaker Diplo invites us to a hip-hop voodoo ceremony. Here he stirs beats, post-rock guitars and eerie atmospherics into a brew which bubbles with psychedelic psychosis. Light does occasionally penetrate this murky world in the form of Diplo Rhythm’s weird digital dancehall or Martina Topley-Bird’s serene vocals on Into The Sun. True enchantment happens, though, when darkness really falls with the bruised lament Summer’s Gonna Hurt You, where the soul of the Delta blues is summoned from the depths.Diplo – Florida, released 13 September 04 on Big Dada.
