Data Insight

The self-titled album is Diplo's statement as a house producer, and like most of his work it is built collaboratively. He produced and co-wrote the tracks with a deep bench of guests and co-writers, with Maximilian Jaeger recurring as co-producer and co-writer across the record. Vocal features from Miguel, Leon Bridges, Busta Rhymes, and others sit on top of his club-oriented production.

Diplo's fourth solo studio album, self-titled, released through Higher Ground and Mad Decent. A polished tech house and deep house set recorded with an array of collaborators including Leon Bridges, Busta Rhymes, Lil Yachty, and Kareen Lomax, the album signaled a shift toward the dance music underground. Higher Ground had been quietly positioning Diplo as a serious force in club-oriented electronic music since its 2017 founding. Maximilian Jaeger served as frequent co-producer and co-writer across the album.
