Hey ya'll. I'm trying something new here, making a mix and all. As long as Marc doesn't fire/murder me, this should be a monthly feature, so be stoked. What I've done here is thrown together 14 of my favorite tracks from the beautiful month of April. Any and all genres were up for grabs but O'm no professional DJ, and I'm not even using proper software for the job, so bear with me as I learn and improve for future mixes. But yo Junkies, because I'm so nice - I'll provide you with myriad forms of listening. [...]
Diplo 's party-happy label, Mad Decent, is rolling out another string of Mad Decent Block Parties. This year the tour will hit 13 cities and briefly turn outdoor venues in each into blown-out, blaring dens of dancing and debauchery. Diplo will be performing on the tour, both solo and as part of Major Lazer . And the DJ/producer has enlisted a bunch of zeitgeisty artists — not all of them signed to Mad Decent — to join him, including Baauer , Danny Brown , Riff Raff , SBTRKT , Lunice , Matt & [...]
The lineup for Mad Decent Block Party 2013 has been announced, and while there are no surprises, featuring the label's signees and founder Diplo, it's no less exciting. A slightly different string of artists will be performing at each city, including Major Lazer, Flosstradamus, Baauer, Dillon Francis, RiFF RAFF, Zeds Dead, and others, with even [...]

Snoop Lion recently released Reincarnated , the first album under his new animal moniker, solidifying that, yes indeed, the name is here to stay . "No Regrets" is one of the LP's bonus cuts and features T.I. and The Dirty Projectors ' own Amber Coffman . Produced by Major Lazer and Ariel Rechstaid, the jam's got a slow and simmering bounce. Listen to it below.
There are many questionable things about Snoop's fake patois-drenched reboot as roots-reggae uplifter Snoop Lion - and perhaps, per the NYT , tapping fellow Caribbean appropriators Major Lazer to produce is chief amongst them. But since Snoop's already set down this path for a full album ( Reincarnation ), this bonus track here is at least a partial step toward the redemption of his decision making process, because in addition to Major Lazer it features the production talents of Ariel Rechtshaid (he of the new Vampire Weekend record, and of Sky Ferreira's greatest hit [...]
Oh Coachella the stuff of myth and whimsy...breaking ground, artists and all that jazz. Maybe you've read a Coachella recap or two already... but I'm sorry... I've been recovering. After sitting a few years out, I flew deliriously into the desert full of myth and whimsy after a late night of DJing in New York. After soaking up a bit of sun and putting back a few beers, I was feeling the vibes and off to the festival I went. First stop was for my personal Jesus of DJing, DJ Harvey... Spent [...]

MAJOR LAZER. Here to bring your weekend in early is a crushing remix of Jet Blue Jet, featuring heavy dutch synths and a moombhacore feel, courtesy if Shelco Garcia & Maushka. This is not reallllllly the kind of music I am used to listening to, but I thought I would spice it up today and [...]
![Major Lazer – Free The Universe [Album]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4915291_lg.jpg)
The Major Lazer sound is back again with another full length album. The dancehall project Major Lazer, largely driven by the multitalented Diplo , released Free The Universe on April 16th.

The 14 track album features collaborations on each song with artist that work in dancehall, pop, electro and other genres. The release features tracks that appeal to the easy listener, as well as the raver who is looking to tear up the dance floor. Bouncy tracks on [...]
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet up with The Flexican at Miami Music Week but he was still cool enough to give us an interview from across the sea in his home country of the Netherlands. One of the up and coming artist off Mad Decent , who is sure to explode over the next year, we got to sit down and talk Latin music and songs we wished would fall off the face of the earth in this interview. His sound inherits a lot from his roots, being [...]
Phoenix has become more or less a byword for Entertainment this week as the chic Versailles pop troupe first released long awaited fifth full-length Bankrupt! before storming Shepherd's Bush that same evening, and here to perpetuate the applause that bit longer is a rework of that single which comes courtesy of Dirty Projectors . David Longstreth, most likely. A jittery springtime skip with Thomas Mars' vocal condensed a touch and plastered atop rudimentary drum machine clacking, restive glitch and whatnot, seems as though there's a pretty formidable, and dare I say it [...]

Major Lazer - Free The Universe Mad Decent: 2013 Diplo is a bonafide dance music superstar. He’s climbed the ranks from Philadelphia-based DJ and producer behind a couple big hits all the way to a poster child of an entire movement. Prior to the release of the previous Major Lazer record Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do , his name was bubbling in certain circles but relatively under the radar by today’s standards. His reach for inspiration stemmed primarily rooted in dancehall and reggae, repackaged in a 40-minute blitz of Jamaican collaborations mixed alongside club anthems. [...]

When the rapper formerly known as Snoop Dogg announced in a July 2012 press conference that, after an extended stay in Jamaica earlier that year, he had embraced the island's religious philosophy of Rastafarianism, changed his name to the more Rasta-friendly Snoop Lion ("dog" is considered derogatory in Jamaican culture), recorded a new Major Lazer -produced album of reggae songs and filmed a documentary about the experience, the whole endeavor smacked of a gimmicky mid-life crisis. Nearly a year later, it seems Snoop is completely sincere about the transformation…but it's hard not to pick apart [...]
