Diplo and Dark Meat go head-to-head at WhirlyBall this Saturday
Saturday night, Diplo returns to Atlanta to headline one of the craziest mashups of sounds to grace the WhirlyBall court. Diplo’s penchant for infusing an ’80s pop glow with electro beats, crunk hip-hop and a dose of Miami bass is an unlikely but smooth and complimentary counterpart to Dark Meat’s primitive and improvised rock jams. Noot ‘d Noot opens.
For those who are unfamiliar, WhirlyBall is a team sport that merges basketball, hockey and Jai-Alai with bumper cars.
Tickets to the show come attached to the sleeve of a 7-inch record that can only be purchased in advance at Criminal Records in L5P.
On the a-side, Athens’ Dark Meat covers the classic Iggy Pop song, “Success. ” On the flipside, in true Diplo fashion, the song is deconstructed, chopped, screwed and molded into something entirely new, that’s dubbed “Unsuccessful Space Jam.”
Tickets/records to the show come attached to the sleeve of a 7-inch record, released by Chunklet, that can be purchased at Criminal Records. They are $10 in advance ($12 day of show). The games begin at 8 p.m. WhirlyBall Atlanta is located at 608 Holcomb Bridge Road, in historic Roswell, GA.
