The artist shared “New Shapes” (featuring Octavian) back on February 7 to great reviews. “I met Octavian at a party in London. We took a photo and I never thought I would see the kid again,” Diplo says. “Over the next six months, I kept hearing his name and seeing him on great songs. I tried to stay in touch even though he had another twelve phone numbers since we met. Finally, he was stuck in L.A. for a while and it was easy to pull up on him. After a few weeks, we nailed this song and I’m glad it gets to finally see the light of day. Big up to Jim-E Stack for producing this with me.” Check the track out here:
“Boom Bye Bye” featuring Niska has also teased the masses with its release earlier this year. “Niska came over late one night in Paris and we played this idea down on a piano loop that I made,” says Diplo. “I had only been familiar with him because he had every song on the French Spotify chart that moment. I was really excited that he came thru and made this crazy idea with me, a year later we finished it and it’s out for all my Parisians!” Make sure to check that one out as well:
