5 Diplo Collaborations You Forgot About (But Shouldn’t Have)

Diplo is everywhere—whether he’s producing chart-topping hits, DJing at festivals, or popping up in memes.

But with a career as prolific as his, some of his most fascinating collaborations have slipped through the cracks of public memory.

Ready to rediscover the hidden gems in Diplo’s discography?

Here are five collaborations you forgot about (but absolutely shouldn’t have).

1. Diplo + Santigold – “Creator” (2008)

Before Diplo was a household name, he was crafting genre-blurring beats for Santigold’s debut album.

“Creator” is a rebellious anthem that blends punk energy with electronic swagger, and it’s a masterclass in early Diplo production.

Fun fact: This track was later sampled by M.I.A., proving its lasting influence.

2. Diplo + Robyn + Röyksopp – “Do It Again” (2014)

This Scandinavian-electronic supergroup teamed up with Diplo for a moody, hypnotic EP.

“Do It Again” is a slow-burning banger that showcases Diplo’s versatility—far from his usual club bangers, yet just as addictive.

If you love melancholic dance music, this one’s a must-listen.

3. Diplo + AlunaGeorge – “I’m In Control” (2016)

Remember this Caribbean-infused bop?

Diplo and AlunaGeorge created a sun-soaked, dancehall-inspired track that’s perfect for summer playlists.

It’s proof that Diplo doesn’t just make hits—he makes vibes.

4. Diplo + MØ – “XXX 88” (2014)

Before “Lean On” took over the world, Diplo and MØ dropped this underrated collab.

“XXX 88” is a chaotic, glitchy masterpiece that feels like a fever dream—in the best way possible.

It’s weird, wild, and worth a revisit.

5. Diplo + CL – “Doctor Pepper” (2015)

K-pop queen CL and Diplo joined forces for this unapologetically bold track.

With its trap beats and bilingual swagger, “Doctor Pepper” was ahead of its time—and still slaps today.

Why didn’t this blow up? We’re still asking ourselves that.

Diplo’s collaborations are like buried treasure—once you dig them up, you wonder how you ever forgot them.

Which of these tracks are you adding to your playlist?
