Diplo has defended Justin Bieber following criticism over the pop star's headline set at Coachella.
Some fans hit out at the performance as "lazy" following his stripped-down approach, which included the pop star singing along to YouTube videos of his early hits, but the 47-year-old DJ and music producer thought it was an "awesome" set and praised the Never Say Never star as "legendary".
He told PEOPLE: "I was surprised he even went [back] to the classics, but the way he played it was amazing.
"Nobody [else] could go to Coachella and just sit on his laptop and play off YouTube because that's like - that's legendary.
"And he gave you a little bit. He was like, 'I got so many hits, here, you get this.' "
Diplo likened Justin's Coachella headline stint to being "at a party" with the star, who also pulled up several comical videos of himself on YouTube amid his set.
Blow Your Head hitmaker Diplo added: "It was like being at a party with him."
