diplo - decent work for decent pay

[big dada: 2009]
Thomas Wesley Pentz, commonly known as talented Philadelphia white boy and beats magician Diplo, is something of an overachiever. He hit a huge highpoint with a Grammy-nomination for producing M.I.A.’s ridiculously good single ‘Paper Planes’ and released one of last year’s best records - the psychedelic dub/trip-hop/punk-rock/electro mixtape collaboration with Santogold, Top Ranking: A Diplo Dub. Naturally, after making such an amazing record, it isn’t all that surprising that Diplo has been winding down off the peak and into more comfortable, less groundbreaking territory. The result is this solid collection of remixes, including songs by Black Lips, Spank Rock, Hot Chip and Peter Bjorn & John as well as four original tracks - most notably the amusing ‘Smash the Kangaroo’. Decent Work For Decent Pay is exactly that: decent. It will make for a reliable dancefloor-filler until Thomas Wesley reaches his next peak.
