The University’s very own radio station will celebrate 33 years on the air the only way it knows how: large and in style. Saturday, KJHK will be celebrating with a birthday bash at the Granada, where popular remix artist Diplo will make bodies gyrate and flow with his penchant for Miami booty bass mash-ups.
For the past seven years, this Florida artist has conquered the dance floor with his own ready-made cocktail of crunk, Brazil’s baile funk, dance hall electro and Bhangra beats. He’s helped such artists as M.I.A. break onto the main stage with his mixtapes, and he recently worked with recent Lawrence visitor Santagold.
KJHK station manager Elise Stawarz says the station looks for artists for its annual birthday party that fit its alternative sound, and Diplo proves to be the perfect fit. “This birthday party shows our longevitiy and the support of the students to keep this station going for so long,” Stawarz says. The celebration will likely include a birthday cake and a piñata. The party costs $15 to enter and is open to all ages. Diplo will be joined by fellow Mad Decent label mates Abe Vigoda, Telepathe and Boy 8-Bit.
