Today Diplo released his remix EP for Express Yourself via his own Mad Decent record label. The original EP, which came out just last year, was his first purely original EP release since Florida, in 2004. Diplo is one of the most notorious DJs in the trap/moombathon/dancehall scene, and this release was one of his most successful to date. The push for a remix album came almost immediately as a craving for it was recently stressed all over twitter. 2012's Express Yourself, despite having some of the most colorful tracks Diplo has ever produced, had an incredible flow between tracks that kept the listener hooked. It sounded more like a long song or set than an album, and if you were to zone out it would be nearly impossible to detect that one song had ended and a new one was beginning. I think that the ability to craft music like that has been taken for granted by many music fans all over the world, and it's a rarity in new music today. However, this newly released Express Yourself Remix EP has this same sense of flow as the original even though the genres included on it range from electro house to hip-hop and dubstep.
Featuring input from artists including DJ Mustard, Sleepy Tom, The FatRat, CRNKN, Expendable Youth, Krusha and Bot, this EP offers a variety of takes on "Express Yourself," all offering something different. It's available today on iTunes, Beatport, and Amazon.
