Loads of people are saying that Santogold is the artist to watch in 2008. Her electroclash hip hop style is catching on worldwide thanks to collaborations with Diplo and Switch, the producers that made M.I.A. a star. Earlier this week, Santogold was a guest dj on Mary Anne Hobbs BBC radio show and you can listen to the archive of her dj mix until the new show goes up next week. But if you'd rather get a taste of her own music with Diplo, the Mad Decent family has uploaded a preview of their upcoming mixtape on the Mad Decent label. Jump to the Mad Decent blog for the streaming audio:
It's a tiny teaser mostly made up of Cutty Ranks'(?) voice, but that's definitely the space to watch for updates and more info...
