# Diplo – Blow Your Head Review
Diplo emerged in the mid-2000s as an innovative force in electronic music, known for his genre-blending production and ability to bridge underground club sounds with mainstream appeal. By 2008, he had already established himself through his work with Major Lazer and various remix projects, earning respect across multiple dance music communities. Blow Your Head marked an important moment in his career, showcasing his mastery of contemporary electronic production while maintaining his roots in underground club culture.
Released on his own Mad Decent label in 2008, this twelve-inch vinyl captures Diplo at a creatively fertile period. The release demonstrates his skill at crafting instantly recognizable tracks that work equally well in both bedroom listening and club settings. The A-side opens with the title track "Blow Your Head," an energetic electro-house anthem that exemplifies the punchy, bass-heavy sound dominating dance music at the time. "Must Be a Devil" complements it with a slightly darker aesthetic while maintaining the same forward momentum.
The B-side is devoted entirely to three remixes of "Wassup Wassup," highlighting the track's universal appeal across different production styles. The Crookers Remix strips things back to essentials, while Bart B More's version emphasizes Baltimore Club elements, a sound Diplo had been championing throughout his career. DJ Sega's interpretation rounds out the package with his own contemporary take on the original.
This vinyl effectively captures Diplo's mid-period sound, blending electro house with club influences, and remains an essential record for collectors interested in late-2000s electronic dance music.
