Diplo is the current master of the 'mashup' (a musical genre that is bound to take on an increasingly greater resonance!). Diplo has the ability to meld two separate pieces of music together to create a piece that gives you enjoyment for a seemingly entirely different reason to the original piece, or he can urbanise a piece that was made by and probably intended for bedroom indie geeks like myself. Above all I admire the way that Mr. Pentz draws upon an excellent breadth of knowledge of both alternative and hip hop music and uses this to such refreshing effect.
Fact! Pentz's alias is short for Diplodocus and derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs!
