That figure would be Diplo, the EDM super-producer who fronts Major Lazer and constitutes one-half of electro-duo Jack alongside Skrillex. Except it’s not actually Diplo. The parody Twitter account belongs to James Van Der Beek, the former Dawson’s Creek heartthrob who are capable of portray individual producers in the upcoming Viceland slapstick ,< em> What Would Diplo Do ?

Van Der Beek has completely immersed himself in thisnew persona for promotion’s sake. Based on this writer’s extremely shallow understanding of the Random White Dude Be Everywhere producer, the actor’sDiploisms seem hilariouslyaccurate. Enjoy some of Van Der BeeI mean, Diplo’s best tweets below.
