I filmed these Australian indigenous kids dancing to Baby Huey in jail
Today I went to Wagga Wagga, Australia with my buddies Levins and Nina from Heaps Decent. We did a workshop for kids at the Riverina Juvenile Detention Center and I recorded 2 songs with them. I’ll write a LOT more about this when I’m less sleepy but I just HAD to post this video immediately. 2 of the kids did this amazing dance routine to “Pop Lock & Drop It”. It’s illegal to divulge the identities of inmates at a juvenile jail so they had to wear these masks to be filmed… but that just makes the choreography even more theatrical.

“Trak luv da kids!” Nice. I can’t wait to hear more about your workshop. I used to volunteer at San Quentin prison and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, while also being one of the saddest and awful. Very emotional. OK, I’ll keep my eye on the blog for more.

it’s really cool that you and diplo do stuff like this. not many world-touring djs would take the time to do this.
