Top Ranking Santogold - A Diplo Dub (2008)

Diplo meets Santogold in a dub chamber of remix special guest exclusive madness! This collaboration mix CD brings together the best of Diplo's scatterbrained genius and Santogold's perfectionist ear. They spent almost as much time on this as others do on "proper" albums, recording tracks, recruiting guest spots and remixes, and sweating over what to include, but it was all worth it because this is a one in a million mixtape. The 35 tracks include a pair of Santo exclusives made just for this mix (the Diplo-produced 'Icarus' and a live band cover of Bad Brains' 'Right Brigade'), plenty of Diplo remixes you won't hear anywhere else (Santogold over Panda Bear… or how about Santogold vs Benga's 'Night'… or Skream vs Shawty Lo?) plus remixes from Switch, Mumdance, XXXchange and Radioclit, guest verses from Amanda Blank and Kid Cudi, plenty of blends, and even some dubplates from dancehall stars like Cutty Ranks, Tony Matterhorn, Sister Nancy, Warrior Queen, Barrington Levy and Turbulence. Between all this you get Diplo's cool selections and cuts from Santogold influences like Sir Mixalot, Devo, Aretha Franklin, B52s, Prince Jazzbo, Desmond Dekker, The Clash and more.
