Man Posse

Asked about the vacuity of such a party-centric lifestyle, Diamond pauses for a second, growing almost thoughtful. "When the electroclash movement was just kicking in -- that empty, hollow sound -- it was during kind of a weird year out here," he says. "It was a little after September 11 when I first heard electroclash, and it just seemed to fit. New York was really dead; people were fleeing here left and right. But as that sound caught on, people got used to it and stared partying a little more.

"As far as our own stuff goes," he continues, "We want to give people happy things. We're trying to get people out of their houses a little bit more, get them dancing. It's all in the music. It's irresistible."

With Diamond's many years of experience figuring out exactly how to punch an audience's buttons, that's no idle boast. But amid all the noise, stench, flesh and dizzying kinesis of a live Diggie Diamond performance, remember one thing: No puking on the dance floor.
