Santogold - “Icarus”
Diplo’s label, Mad Decent, released Top Ranking last week, and it’s one of the hottest summer mixes you’re going to hear this year.
Just as Diplo killed it on MIA’s Piracy Funds Terrorism mix that dropped before her debut, he does it again with Brooklyn’s own Santogold, mixing up jams off her recent debut album.
“Killed it” is putting it mildly, in this case.
As the review says, most of the Santogold material is off her debut album, but there are also a couple of previously unreleased tracks on there. “Guns of Brooklyn” is one of them, and this is another.
You can buy the full mix, which also features the likes of Kid Cudi, Ratatat, and Radioclit, here.

Diplo’s AEIOU 2 has been around a while (available at Turntable Labs, if you haven’t had the pleasure), but the original hasn’t been seen or heard from (to the best of my knowledge) before now.
Diplo just made the whole thing available for free on his label’s blog. With this disclaimer:
i made this mix (the original AEIOU mix) like 8 yrs ago! it was when me and my boy triple double ran an illegal fight club out of the basement of silk city somewhere between funk and rock and soul and dumb stuff mixed live at a wwe raw show…. we disregarded mixing at some points so get used to it…
It’s certainly not the most polished mix, but a must for Diplo fans.
