While Diplo’s inextricably linked to a host of mega pop stars, his popularity isn’t based on image. Rather, he maintains his seat in the upper echelons of the dance world by staying razor focused on infectious, driving beats and delivering raucous mixes each and every night he climbs on stage. Those beats range from baile funk to Miami bass to African kuduro to Jamaican dancehall and on and on an on. He was arguably the first DJ to popularize this modern mash-up mix, and his ability to repeatedly unearth obscure banging beats from the far corners of the globe has earned him praise as one of the greatest musical anthropologists of modern times. Diplo’s currently one of the most in-demand Dj’s in the world and is making one appearance only on Oahu and Maui. Advanced ticket purchases recommended.

“Favela on Blast” - Oahu Bonus – 9:30pm Screening: Catch the film screening of “Favela on Blast” prior to Diplo’s performance at NextDoor. The documentary, co-produced by Diplo, tells stories of sex, love, poverty and pride from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. These favelas gave birth to the now global hit genre, baile funk. By tracking favela beat makers from enormous parties to neighborhood hangs, the film connects the audience with an utterly foreign land – one engulfed in deep poverty and a completely unique way of life. “Favela on Blast” premiered in March to a sold-out crowd at South by Southwest in Austin, TX.
