In the first ever episode of Blow Your Head released on the PotatoWillEatYou YouTube account, Diplo provides us with a cinematic narration to introduce to the series about the behind the scenes on the road, backstage, and beyond. Episode 1 focuses on 3BALLMTY, a group that fuses electronic music with the rhythms of Aztec and Native American culture. With most members being around the age of 15, the eclectic group has brought such a unique sound, allowing them to rise to the top of the Latin music chats. Playing one of the largest concerts in the history of Mexico, 3BALLMTY played a show with Justin Beiber in June 2012 for over 200,000 people at the Zocalo Central District of Mexico City.
As the documentary style series progresses, we learn about three ofthe young Mexican DJs in the electronic music scene today, members of 3BALLMTY.We catch their reactions and responses to the music and their progression from playing a gig for 300 people to opening up for Justin Beiber in Mexico. You canal most feel the excitement through them, as they are humanized as average 18 year old consumers of music. If you were looking to see Diplo in this episode of the series, you are mistaken. However, Diplo is the driver of this cultural journey to 'blow our heads' through electronic music across the globe.
