The duo, who play together under the name Jack U, fill in with an emergency set after Detroit DJ Seth Troxler refuses to play when his entourage is denied access to the decks. The crowd is happy until Diplo plays DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s Turn Down for What at the end of the set, when they begin booing.
