Diplo Announces New EP, Shares Sampler

BY Alex HudsonPublished Dec 27, 2011

When he's not mouthing off about M.I.A. or Washed Out, Diplo has a fondness for releasing highly-touted electronic music. Soon, fans of the producer will be getting a new dose of their hero, as he has promised to drop a new EP very soon.

He posted a new sampler to his Soundcloud account. This includes a flurry of beats and samples packed into a hectic three-and-a-half-minute runtime. There are hints of dancehall and dub, not to mention plenty of clubby electro beats.

Diplo also wrote this brief message: "heres a sampler of this music im goin to give away free inna few days." So by the sound of it, we can expect a free digital EP sometime around the start of the new year. The sampler came along with the slightly racy image you can see above, which we're guessing is probably the album cover.

Pitchfork notes that the EP features guest spots from Datsik, Sabi, Elephant Man, GTA, Excision, Nicky Da B, LAzer Disk, and Billy the Gent. Listen to the stream below.

Of course, Diplo will soon be releasing a new LP with Major Lazer, his dance-inspired duo with Switch.
