Diplo is known world wide as a spectacularly talented DJ and producer, head of Mad Decent and 1/2 of Major Lazer so it’s no surprise when he churns out a remix that is heavily laden with drums to create an irresistible party beat. Tom Stephen is native to New York, but moved to London where he kicked off his career as a producer. Diplo takes Tom’s tune “Turn That Shit Up” and adds a lot of Major Lazer on to it. He uses the same snares and a bunch of stuff that sounds like it came from one of the many Pon De Floor remixes and transforms this into a real high energy treat. I don’t think that there wasn’t a person in the world who wasn’t instantly intrigued by the most hyped duo of the summer, Major Lazer, and this continuation of that same dance hall feeling is going to make for a successful track every time.
The turn that shit up release on Southern Fried is chocked full of 6 remixes so although the vocals on the original seem horribly cheesy to me that might still make it a worth while investment for some. There’s really a remix from every point on the spectrum there so it’s worth checking out. You can get that HERE .
