Busy boys, Diplo and Switch have no time to rest. Preparing to launch a Major Lazer cartoon on Adult Swim, working on M.I.A.'s next album ("It's like Gucci Mane meets Animal Collective.") and now it looks like they've got another EP set to drop. No rest for the weary when your aim is to take over soundsystems worldwide. Download - Major Lazer Feat. M.I.A. – "Sound Of Siren" Props: illRoots

Dipped in Dollars is proud to present our February Mix of the Month , where we ask an up-and-coming artist to present us with a mix/mixtape that will allow us to gain better perspective of their process/show us what we can expect to hear from them in the future. Indian Summer is a little mix I made featuring some of my favorite songs we've been throwing out over these last few months. It doesn't feature any music you'll hear on the upcoming Comanche LP, but it's a solid [...]

Usually I'm not rooting for the mash-up or the blends-team or indulge heavily in things like that at all, but I can't deny that The Hood Internet rulez the fucking roost with their work. Catch them live this spring: FEBRUARY 11 – Blu, Indianapolis IN FEBRUARY 12 – The Gramophone, St. Louis MO FEBRUARY 13 – The Badlander, Missoula MT FEBRUARY 26 – Slowdown, Omaha NE FEBRUARY 27 – Bourbon Theatre, Lincoln NE MARCH 4 – B-Side Liquor Lounge, Cleveland OH MARCH 6 – Stella Blue, Asheville NC MARCH 13 – TBA, Chicago IL MARCH [...]

In the past month there have been some really great covers emerge. Phoenix doing Bob Dylan is as good as anything on Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Jay Reatard's death brought an old cover out back to prominence, Major Lazer have added a whole new depth to a Beyonce track and lo fi indie rockers Little Girls have a stunning take on a new Beach House track. Enjoy these and please feel free to link to your favorite covers in the comments. Major Lazer - HALO (Beyonce Cover) Solange Knowles - Stillness [...]

Wow, in all Nicki Minaj & Ludacris frenzy I've totally missed this cover from Major Lazer and Elephant Man of Beyoncé's 'Halo'. Yeah, it is just like it sounds, both totally awesome and horrible at the same time. Also, people (in the States), don't miss out on the MAJOR LAZER – "LAZERS NEVER DIE TOUR", peep the many dates below the pic: Mar 27 2010 8:00P Ultra Music Festival-Bayfront Park Miami, Florida Mar 28 2010 8:00P Masquerade (Heaven Stage) Atlanta, Georgia Mar 29 2010 8:00P Valarium Knoxville, Tennessee Mar [...]
05.02.2010 It's the weekend! Time to make bad decisions involving liquor, ladies and some dirty club that makes you stand in a cold line for the better part of an hour only to find out you wore the wrong shoes and therefore cannot gain entrance. Or you could just stay at home put these tunes on repeat and not get laid all the same... Paul Harris vs The [...]

Another collection of recent remixes for your listening pleasure. Some real gems in a here and a few others that are more "interesting" than "awesome." Read on. Rock om. And if you want more jams by any of these artists use the 'tags' links at the bottom of the post! ♫ Vampire Weekend - Cousinz (Toy Selectah Mex-More Remix) / The challenge of the evening is going to have more fun than this remix. It's as if the song itself is grinning from ear to ear. And jumping up and down. ♫ Boy [...]

La historia es la siguiente: DJ "Amigo X" está poniendo música en cierto local de moda. La gente baila sin problemas y disfruta de la selección musical del DJ. En medio de su set decide poner un tema de Celso Piña , ante lo cual el dueño del local reacciona, se acerca con prepotencia a este DJ y le dice: "Saca esa canción inmediatamente. Aquí no ponemos ese tipo de música ". No es la primera vez que escucho de una situación así y supongo que tampoco será la última, mas ha sido motivo [...]

What on Earth is this video? Honestly, who came up with such a video for this cheesy electronic song "Pon De Floor", a combined effort from British mix masters Major Lazer and Jamaican singer Vybz Kartel? Actually, there is an answer to that. The director's name is Eric Wareheim of The Tim and Eric Awesome Show , but I would like a sample of the E this guy must have been on when he conceived the glorious video that is "Pon de Floor". For those of you who are unaware of the song, it is a four [...]
![[Cover] "Hola (Beyonce)" (ft. Elephant Man), Major Lazer](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2310612_lg.jpg)
Que tal o cover que a dupla fez, chamando o Elephant Man , e que o Diplo curtiu pacas? Já que a Beyonce está por aí, vamos homenageá-la com essa faixa. O que achou, melhor que a original? (rs) Major Lazer (ft. Elephant Man) - Hola (Beyonce) [...]

On Sunday night Beyonce broke a record of winning 6 awards during the Grammys, and performed a medley of her own. One of the awards won was Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her single, " Halo" . Diplo and Switch from Major Lazer covered " Halo" and released it the day after the Grammy's to celebrate this win. They mixed the song with raps all over the song, giving it a Jamaican feel. I'd love to hear a remix of both songs like what some [...]

Major Lazer ft. Elephant Man – Halo (Beyonce Remix) The combined forces of Diplo and Switch make up Major Lazer who just dropped this cover of Beyonce's "Halo." I really like the original version of this song - so why not post it. Plus Major Lazer is my shit. Side note: If you haven't heard Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor" please do so now. Mike Posner's cover of "Halo " is still the best. Major Lazer will be playing the Metro in Chicago [...]

Fresh off Beyonce's record-breaking six Grammy Award wins Sunday night (and a fiery, weave-tossing, Alanis-covering stage performance that only renewed our wishes for the diva to commit to recording an R&B-and-rock-themed album in the stylistic vein of En Vogue's "Free Your Mind" or Janet Jackson's "Black Cat"), Major Lazer and Elephant Man bring this cover of her Best Female Pop Vocal Performance-owning "Halo", trading in the original lyric's Hallmark beau praise for Elephant Man's shower-singing growls about "haters", "hypocrites" and "bad man". Yeah...we don't get it either, though it does lead one to wondering [...]

Major Lazer covering Beyoncé ? Okay, I'll bite. Major Lazer - Halo
Sub Focus - Could this Be Real (Sub Focus Dnb Remix): Sub Focus каждым своим релизом вызывает просто-таки восхищение с моей стороны. Оригинал-то был отличным, а тут его просто разорвало. Странно, что до сих пор не надоедает, что тут сложного-то. MJ Cole - Sincere (Nero remix): долгожданный релиз от Nero, глубокие басы и опять воспоминания. Major Lazer - Jump Up (Genghis Clan Vs Riva Starr 'Mambo Jumbo Remix): забавный мэшап двух самых забавных проектов, Riva Starr только что выпустивший отличный альбом и здесь нашел место знакомым фольклорным мелодиям. Boltan - Nine [...]

Photo courtesy I don't think every one who visits here know this but I used to hold monthly mixtapes (Hardcore Mixtapes). But, since the whole process took a lot of time (all the sorting, ranking so forth), I resorted to weekly, shorter versions of it. Now, I'm returning with my monthly mixtapes and I'm putting in the more recent tracks of January that seemed to rise above the rest. I'm planning on changing the individual files into podcasts next month until I find a suitable podcast program for non-Mac pcs like mine. [...]
![[New] Major Lazer- Halo (Beyonce Cover)](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2303472_lg.jpg)
I got an email about this song sent my way. This goes a little deeper then just it being a cover. I have a lot of inside jokes about this song, especially Gallinari from the knicks doing a cover of this song. When I saw Major Lazer as the coveree I was more then excited. I like this a lot more then Beyonce's version but I think it is because I can bump this without looking like a whackjob. Major Lazer- Halo | UserShare

Major Lazer and Elephant Man are bad bad men. Bad enough to try their hand @ reworking Beyonce's Grammy-winning number. The results are actually quite nice as Elephant Man chants over the track, banishing away evil. And while he grumbles, the production duo punctuates the lyrics with precise drum licks. Good vibes, good vibes. Download - Major Lazer Feat. Elephant Man - "Halo" (Beyonce Cover) Respect: Pigeons & Planes

Is this Photo Racist? Last night Beyonce broke the record she shared with Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse and Alison Kraus for most GRAMMYs won by a female in a single night. On last night's GRAMMY Awards, Beyonce took six awards (the previous record being five) including Song of the Year for "Single Ladies". In honor of this event, Diplo and Switch's Major Lazer covered Beyonce's "Halo", which won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and was nominated for Record of the Year. This one goes up there with [...]

Sorry guys, kinda in a hurry here so I'ma be brief. Got quite a diverse selection today... If you haven't heard of Midnight Conspiracy and you live in the Chicago area, I'm willing to bet you don't get out much. Here's the trio's debut remix of Chromeo 's "Night By Night." Mmm. Sweaty synthesizers... Chromeo - Night By Night (Midnight Conspiracy Remix) Man, Beyonce cleaned up last night. Here's the Major Lazer rendition of "Halo," which is something a little more palatable for [...]
