Listen to Diplo's 2-Hour Best of 2015 Mix Right Now

Diplo might not be dance music's least controversial figure, but it's indisputable that his taste has incredible influence across the boards. As a DJ, producer, and head proprietor of Mad Decent, what he likes goes on to be what a lot of listeners and producers end up liking, too. For that reason alone—on top of his obviously strong skills as a DJ—it's worth giving his Best of 2015 mix a spin, as it's the easiest way to find out exactly what defined the year for this tastemaker: including everything from Brenmar and UNiiQU3's "Hula Hoop"" to "Where Are Ü Now," and a couple Kendrick Lamar tracks near the end. In the intro to the mix's debut on his BBC Diplo and Friends show yesterday, Wesley Pentz calls it "the most important mix of the year"; try it out yourself here, and see the extensive tracklist below.
