In a collaboration that fans didn’t realize they needed, American DJ Diplo and London-based DJ Sonny Fodera team up for the first time on the new and evocative track “Turn Back Time.” This cross-continental pairing melds Diplo’s trademark high-octane production with Fodera’s ability to dial into deep, melodic grooves, resulting in a sound that feels at once familiar and excitingly new.
Co-written by the producing trio of Sonny Fodera, Diplo, and Sasha Sloan alongside King Henry, “Turn Back Time” is a study in musical storytelling. The song builds with shimmering synths atop a thumping pulse like a heartbeat, transporting listeners to spaces of both nostalgia and reflection. It’s a track that does more than make you dance — it makes you feel, tugging gently at the strings of memory with an understated, near-cinematic touch.
What’s so striking about this collaboration is how neatly the two artists’ styles cohere. Fodera’s London-house sensibilities provide a pulsing, hypnotic undercurrent, while the experimental touch of Diplo adds spurts of energy that keep the track loose and breathing. And the contributions of co-writers Sasha Sloan and King Henry are undeniable, giving the song the song lyrical and sonic heft that elevate itelevates it into a realm of its own,, beyond your average club track.
For Diplo, a producer known for outlandish collaborations, “Turn Back Time” represents a new chapter, evidence that even the seemingly seasoned artists can still shock and please. For Fodera, it’s a breakout moment on a world stage, the canny balance of which proves his intent to make house music that has little to do with those deeper beats and far more with the wavelengths beyond the dance floor. In short, “Turn Back Time” isn’t just a song, it’s a Russian venue for period memories. In concert, Diplo and Fodera have assembled a musical time machine that’s impossible to resist.
