As is probably the case with a lot of people, my first introduction both Diplo and M.I.A. was the Piracy Funds Terrorism mixtape the duo released a couple years back, before M.I.A.’s debut album Arular dropped. To this day, I feel that mix was some of the best work produced by either artist. In fact, two albums deep, I rather feel M.I.A.’s music works better in that format than the traditional LP format.

Well, if you’ve been wondering what to do with yourself ever since that mix came out, waiting patiently for something more, you’re in luck! Diplo has given the Piracy Funds Terrorism treatment to this year’s (M.I.A.) model, Santogold, in the form of his new mix, Top Ranking Santogold, A Diplo Dub. The title may be a mouthful, but the music goes down smooth. If you’re dying to check it out, Discobelle has the hook-up via Zshare.
