Blow Your Head: A Diplo Zine: Vol. 1: Dancehall

The DJ and producer Diplo--aka Thomas Wesley Pentz--and photographer Shane McCauley are launching Blow Your Head, a series of photographic accounts of global music scenes, all of which filter into Diplo s creative base, the hugely popular record label Mad Decent. Each volume will explore a different country and musical genre, from Technobrega in Brazil to Cumbia and Tribal in Mexico, to the subject of the debut volume: Jamaica s vibrant dancehall scene. For this volume, the duo traveled through Trenchtown, visiting Tuff Gong Studios, Gee Jam Studios and Sugarman Beach, documenting the most cutting-edge music and dance with candid photographs of the players and venues. Only one of the world s most sought-after DJs could get access like this. Follow Diplo into the musical future!
