Equally talented and complicated, the Grammy-winning Diplo’s solo and collaborative discographical output has few peers in his fields of dance/EDM. It would be challenging to locate an “it” artist for whom, over the past 20 years, he hasn’t done production, a remix, or joined in a brief project (including Sia, Skrillex, and others). The producer and DJ appears to be ramping up for another run to close out 2024 with his latest, the lush, festival-ready Afro-house single “Forever,” with French house/EDM maven HUGEL, featuring Malou & Yuna. The song gained significant buzz pre-release after his social media use in the culmination of a Mt. Fuji climb. – Kahron Spearman
