Diplo Was Here - Flosstradamus @ SubT review
Nothing less than a "special" guest was promised last night for Flosstradamus's Wednesday residency at Subterranean, and the dinosaur picture posted in the comments dropped the correct hint - just after midnight, Diplo himself showed up to rock the boards. The crowd had commandeered the stage for most of the night, and Diplo's entrance cleared the view for only a song or so before they returned against the various pleas from Josh and others. A miniature "Soul Train" began, this time with Josh and a friend blocking off room for individuals to show their best moves for a few moments - much juking, sweat, and stage-diving occurred. Diplo played some of his usual dancefloor-demolishing heavy-hitter remixes, and dropped the new M.I.A. track in as well - has reconciliation occurred between the DJ world's Brad and Angelina?
The sound man cued the lights at 1:30, but Floss implored that "these people are gonna riot if we don't get one more song" and get it they did, dropping a long, gritty mix of "Young Folks" and "Walk It Out". The crowd lingered long afterwards.
