Diplo and Abe Vigoda have a Mad Decent tour in store

With a summer tour already in full swing, M.I.A. co-conspirator Diplo would have earned a month or two of downtime come fall. Yet, like his music, he soldiers on in one long crunky grind, gliding across states and continents as effortlessly as he mixes songs and genres. His new outing is a tour for his label, Mad Decent, titled as such. Joining him in this quest for the freshest beats will be post-punk primas Abe Vigoda who, while not on the Mad Decent label, are nonetheless mad decent themselves.

All that thumping bass would tire a regular person out. Diplo? He thrives on it:
