REVIEW: DIPLO PRESENTS HIGHER GROUND 3 YEARS LP (EXTENDED)


The Higher Ground label has shown us, through a clear commitment to a typology of music producers, that if something characterizes them, it is their irregularity, focused on their search for multiple unstable paths and that, weathering the storm, reaping successes and incorporating everything After the experience gives them, he emerges as if out of the blue with proposals as unique and surprising as his own personal career. They work attentively to detect when it is time to enter the studio with the artists to turn everything upside down...



Now he publishes the compilation of Diplo: Higher Ground 3. The production level of the producers is intense but, on the other hand, the care of the sounds they release is at the level of those who do things because they want to and with the time that they really they need. Hence, these are productions that when you get closer to them you get trapped by the halo that comes off: rare, singular and, here comes the best, powerful, magnetic and danceable. Beats that mark but without burdening us, an oldschool (authentic) touch, somewhat eccentric synthesizers and a rather cheerful and festive general tone, are some of the adjectives that we can get up our sleeves if we want to describe this innovative proposal.


Each producer summarizes their intentions in this compilation, looking for novelty without losing nostalgia, who plays with the genre but without falling into predictable tricks, nor in the arrogance of those who castle themselves in a genre or mannerism to show that they have personality. Paradoxically, to achieve simplicity and lucidity requires experience and the ability to know how to free oneself from the limitations of conditioning, and this first compilation is a healthy example of this.
