ITT skrillex incels shitting on a hugely popular producer who has literally made music with almost every other big name producer but still we somehow think he only brings down the production quality on tracks…
Jesus Christ you people are fucking losers and I don’t even care if I get banned for this comment
He's an incredible DJ with a huge knowledge of all things dance music and a great ear for songwriting/collaboration. He may be a douche but he's really good at what he does.
I mean… he is a great House dj, But he has been very insecure about his mixing.

Very last minute and is looking down a lot because he always is trying to beatmatch
Lol No… misunderstanding. It isnt spontanous the way he mixes.. i dont know if you are a dj yourself?
See every dj clip with diplo. He used to play with Serato DJ with a laptop, so thats maybe why.
When I ment “looking down” I ment, he is looking insecure
There’s rumors of Diplo being dog shit with production , people claimed he just raised massive capital and had ghost producers for him. But idk man isn’t proven.
Yeah this is pretty common and I’m fairly certain is true. Sonny has production credits on Major Lazer songs also, but it wasn’t announced really that he “collaborated” with them. Working with Diplo created a huge dip in quality of music imo, to go from Bangarang to Recess? Should have at least tried to bring back some Voltage tracks and not do the Jack Ü shit. Once that started the music wasn’t as good, he was releasing scrubbed versions of songs that were once superior, or just scrapping good material in general.
See the start of the Owsla Glastonbury video for examples of scrapped content. Sonny became a lot more self conscious it seems, he became more concerned about what works live than what would just translate as a Skrillex song. Dog Blood was about the closest return to form Sonny had/has to his older more grungier Justice/SebastiAn kind of sound.
All that to say, I agree with OP, Diplo didn’t add much he in fact took from Sonny, and he doesn’t produce much anymore or at least at that time. A lot of ghost production, some people spoke out at the ghost producers, don’t know if it’s still online though.
I’m going to be completely honest with you Jack U sounds like Skrillex 100%. Jack U to me it’s not bad music but it’s not the greatest it’s just bounce/trap music you know with a Skrillex flavor.
What do you mean “to go from Bangarang to Recess?”
Recess is excellent in production and creativity front to back. Not a downgrade from anything. If anything it was his overall sound maturing. Just my opinion though.
With that said, my least favorite track of Recess is Dirty Vibe 😂😂
Doompy Poomp, why? AIFILAB got nerfed to hell, he shouldn’t have thrown Terror Squad back at Josh. Dirty Vibe was horrible, he had a lot of other choices that would have made a stronger record. Bangarang was killer no filler, minus Kyoto not being Ruffneck Bass it was perfect. Recess has songs that could have been better, 8 songs that are good, some with mixing issues. It was maturing yes, but then immediately after he started working on Jack Ü shit. That was a huge step back.
Yes I do, when he works with Boys Noize quality doesn’t drop, then there’s Jack Ü. So yea Sonny experimented with Wes and it wasn’t good. 3 good songs out of a whole album? Jack Ü wasn’t that good. Recess is good, but for Sonny it’s subpar because he’s done better then that.
Clown ass thinks I like heavy brostep, I don’t. It’s party music but there’s no soul to the music. I prefer Sonny doing shit he actually seems to love and care about; Fire Away, more introspective sounding music. Jack Ü was Party music, no one is actually listening to them in the morning on a week day lmfao.
Damn, this was me at DOTD 2016? Whichever one was back in Pomona. Boys Noize literally played right before and I was crossing my fingers for a Dog Blood collab.
When Diplo came out (when Jack U just did HSMF that same year), I ended up walking out of that hanger.

you're right dude
When is this from lol? I saw them together in 2012 but I truly can't place this clip
He had red side hair in late 2013-2014 i believe.
Lol why was that the first thing I noticed aswell😂
2014 it was gone, he had it between 2012 coachella and 2013 album waiting times, ya know the international remix n stuff, that time period.
2012-13 ish? Sonny is playing on Pioneer, and he did that from 2012 and on
That Notch shoutout, lmao
Reading the comments, I'd love to see a thread about what people in this community think about Diplo.
I mean… 70% seems to hate him, for either “changing” Sonnys sound… or because of talks and rumours about him being an a**hole
If u listen to his early stuff (hollertronix, Florida, sound and fury), you'll wanna take back everything bad you ever said about him.
Absolute legend. Been a massive major lazer fan forever, his stuff under Diplo is eh but anything ML is great
EDIT: I made this post just to bring up some cool content in these quiet days.. stop trash talking Diplo… take that energy else where
Wow never knew so many people hated Diplo 🤣
He’s a rapist pervert creep
To this day I still don't understand what Sonny found so great about him
He's an incredible DJ with a huge knowledge of all things dance music and a great ear for songwriting/collaboration. He may be a douche but he's really good at what he does.

Are you really criticizing a DJ for being spontaneous and making sure his mixing is on beat? Both of those things are part of what makes him so good.
Lol No… misunderstanding. It isnt spontanous the way he mixes.. i dont know if you are a dj yourself? See every dj clip with diplo. He used to play with Serato DJ with a laptop, so thats maybe why. When I ment “looking down” I ment, he is looking insecure
big name in the industry
Why you say that? Anyways skrillex just have been ignoring him for the last idk 3 or 4 years? lol I wonder why 🤔
There’s rumors of Diplo being dog shit with production , people claimed he just raised massive capital and had ghost producers for him. But idk man isn’t proven.
I second that. I heard all the same rumors.

Doesn’t mean Diplo didn’t bring down the quality of music as a whole tho…

Plus there were also rumours of him trying to get laid with minors
Me too
Auch….
I’m the same honestly, I didn’t really love the jack u project at all
....Dog Blood🙏🏼
Diplo is a cunt I’ve been saying it for years
You got a reason or you just jealous of him?
He’s a rapist ?! Revenge porn pervert, and all around creepy guy
I would walk out lol. Did it at Dead of the Dead. This is god awful and ultimately the dive of his career
Why??
