Diplo & Tripledouble: AEIOU #2 CD (Deadstock)

Deadstock find! Here’s what we wrote when it first came out in 2007: Money Studies kicks off its new “Lost Masters” reissue series by resurrecting this impossible to find mix from Diplo and fellow Philly record hoarder Tony Tripledouble. Originally self-released on CDR in an edition of less than 500 (plus a few handmade cassettes), AEIOU #2 is over an hour of the finest and rarest breaks drawn from Diplo & Tripledouble’s extensive collections of psych, funk and obscure soundtracks. Some of the breaks in this mix have gone on to achieve classic status – still no tracklist to help you out, but now it comes in a full-color digipak designed by PH. And if you ever wanted to hear Diplo skratching, right here’s the spot. Recommended.
