Eclectic producer mixes Reggae classics on New Album

Experimentalist music producer and remix mastermind Diplo has teamed up with Greensleeves Records to reload and re-release some of reggae's greatest classics on Riddimentary – Diplo Selects Greensleeves.

Known for his electronic dub musical styling and as one-half of world renowned production team Major Lazer, Thomas Wesley Pentz, who is otherwise known as "Diplo" lends his eclectic ear and considerable talents as a Reggae selector to Riddimentary.

The continuous blended mix covers over 20 years of revoluntionary Jamaican and United Kingdom hits from the top producers in dub, reggae and dancehall from the 1980s and 1990s.

Retro flavor and historical context of these selections shine a light on "Diplo's" production influences and expert knowledge of the Reggae genre.

Choosing anthems such as Night Nurse by the late Reggae crooner Gregory Isaacs, Police in Helicopter by John Holt, Telephone Love by J.C. Lodge and Anarexol by Eek-A-Mouse, Riddimentary sees Diplo not only selecting through the Greensleeves catalog but also placing his imprint on its legacy.
