The first episode of Diplo's serial music documentary
As described on Mad Decent, “Diplo’s been working on a new documentary series for Current called No One is Safe, where he sort of Anthony Bourdains on the music scenes he’s deep into and explores their origins/history/current state, etc. This is the pilot, on New Orleans Bounce music, and it turned out to be really […]
