Buffalo Loves Dubstep - Diplo Photo Recap



After having my couch-hotels bail on me at the last minute, I made the round trip to Buffalo and back (~3 hours each way) last night in a grand total of 12 hours from departure to my 6AM arrival back home. What burned me out more than anything wasn't the mind-bending bass-wonkage, but the fact that bars in Buffalo don't close until 4AM, meaning they don't even start going until 11-12. Arriving at 8:30 meant a lot of mediocre chinese food in a dirty room with a giant unicorn mural. That "half the fun is getting there" did not apply in my case.

Anyways, I'll let the photos (and video!) speak for themselves - Diplo absolutely killed it. His 3+ hour set consisted of at least a third dubstep and Buffalo went OFF on it. My other highlight was this efffing ridiculous live mix he did of Surfin' Bird to which this girl in front of the decks went apeshit with her hand gestures. Check it.



Even Paul Devro got his surf on

And a little video medley of the evening..


And, while we're on this dubstep mumbo jumbo, check this Them Jeans edit of Snoop Dogg Millionaire - you know, the song where Snoop copped a Chase and Status track and rapped over it. Them Jeans kicks the song into doubletime with some nice breakdowns - I've been digging it in my sets lately so I hope ya'll enjoy it.

Jokes? Diplo definitely uses a laptop. Always on Serato. You can see a Scratch Live box in the video and he's not changing records. That and you can see his laptop, ha.

Dude kills it. Wanna book him at Dartmouth so, so badly.

Buffalo goes hard. 4am closing time may have applied at the sound lab that night, but after diplo got off the decks at the lab he popped down to the pink, where he hit on some english bird until they last called around 5am.
