Recess brought Diplo to University of Pacific , Stockton , Califronia and he had a great deal to say about a variety of topics. Diplo and Bob Moczydlowsky, Head of Twitter Music discussed how to get signed by a major label , Mad Decent Record label strategy , Twitter , Diplo’s style of production and what not!

But what catches our attention is Diplo’s ability to read the critical minds of many EDM lovers and puts into words what has been a thought to some of us. He brings up the tendency of artists to reduce novelty , reuse old tunes and recycle them as new tracks.

He says ” , There’s a few guys – Skrillex – right away you’re like ‘that’s him’. Kaskade even for me, I can tell right away one of his records, but the majority of them – they copy sounds over and over again. It’s so boring.” He goes on to give advice to upcoming and enthusiastic DJs and discusses working with Skrillex , his appreciation of Porter Robinson and his love for Twitter!
