Years after the zombie apocalypse ravaged the galaxy, MAJOR LAZER went into isolation after bringing peace and order to Earth. With the help of a mysterious shadow government called Cinco he was cryogenically frozen as a safeguard for the future’s wellbeing. Despite a great many years of pursuing peace on the planet, a new threat began to loom on the horizon and the commando was brought out of sleep by the Committee of Five. This intergalactic group faced an opponent that only MAJOR LAZER could defend against: his former superior and [...]
Jammers, we haven't covered much of it, but Today, I introduce you to the infamous genre of TRAP . The Trap/American bass duo, The Insurgents , consisting of TJ "Dasmatic" Mizell and Christian "RYOT" Colon have released a new single called Switch . The visuals are dope as hell and the song hits so hard I felt like I was getting punched in the jaw. With sexy, rolling Hi-hats and drum swings which almost fall out of the track, The Insurgents have a really fresh and originally sound. We are loving their [...]
2013 certainly seems to be a year chock-full of eagerly awaited album releases with Daft Punk releasing Random Access Memories in May and Disclosure's debut album, Settle , coming in June. Before these two, we're treated to the release of Major Lazer's second album, Free the Universe . Free the Universe is the first album from Major Lazer since Switch left the group for "creative differences". Since then, Diplo has fully [...]
So Major Lazer this week release Free the Universe for widespread consumption, and today thus becomes a monumental day; a special event, and one which would surely be honoured with a polychromic carnival of Notting Hill depravity were it only that bit more engrossing, even from the off. For it has been postponed, put off and pushed from pillar to post (read: label to label) since it was first slated for liberation earlier on in the year. Of course it somewhat inevitably marks a change in the trajectory first traced by Diplo in the [...]
In a recent interview ahead of the forthcoming 'Free The Univese' LP release, Major Lazer's one original member Diplo opened up at the reason behind Switch leaving the outfit. Before going in to detail, the globe trotting Philly born producer clarified "I couldn’t make music if it weren’t for Switch – he and M.I.A. were my main influences, and he taught me how to make music and gave me my style 100 percent,” he continues “But in terms of actually making records and finishing them, Switch doesn’t do that. And everyone knows that. He just can’t finish songs. He’s the [...]

The Diplo & Switch collective returns with the fourth installation in their remix series. As usual they provide the full spectrum of today's bass music while making sure not to neglect their island inspired roots. Personally I'm partial to the "Get Free" remix feat. Chronixx but the Snoop Lion feat. Drake joint is no slouch either. Stream and download the project for free below.
Mad Decent affiliates are a rare bread. Thats why when it comes time for a release, remix EP or not, it is important to take time out of your day to hear what all is happening. This could not apply more to the Express Yourself Remix EP. While "express[ing] yourself" has gone well beyond what Diplo could have intend (yet probably hoped), one of the most lasting tracks from the EP is that with Lazerdisk Party Sex , "Set It Off". With Riff Raff rapping over it and the best trap and [...]

Take a listen to this gently playful rework of London Grammar's track; Metal & Dust . It comes from former Major Lazer member; Switch (although it couldn't really sound any less Major Lazer-y), stream below:

For today's GMM we're rewinding to Major Lazer 's inception, when the production output was made up of Diplo and Switch . At the time, the pair had just released Guns Don't Kill People, Lazers Do and structured the mix with one hour from Diplo followed by another from Switch. Mixing in classic reggae sounds and future classic Major Lazer productions, the two producers gave listeners insight into the origins of the rasta-inspired beats Diplo has now championed for the last 3 years. With everything from slow, airy productions to harder hitting tropically-infused outputs, Diplo and Switch treated [...]

So it's that time of the year again folks; the flowers are well trying to bloom. Everything is plastered in a red or pink taint. The Greetings Card Companies are foaming at the mouth with all the money they've been making and your significant other has been dropping hints like your pets dropping... well droppings!? That didn’t really work, I’m sorry. So here’s a collection of love songs and songs that are vaguely related to love for you and yours! You can name all the babies that are conceived after me. [...]
It's been a year since Rick Rude dropped a Things you Say mix. His last one was rather good too with music coming from Tensnake, Soul Clap, Miguel Campbell, Switch, Oliver $, T.E.E.D, Brodinski (featuring Magnetic contributor Louisahhh! ) and a whole bunch of other quality acts and sounds. A few days ago he followed up with number two in the series but we just stumbled on it today. If you fancy the deeper, more soulful side of house this'll definitely treat you right. BTW, if you missed Prince Club & Rick Rude “Take You” you can [...]

“ Doin’ Ya Thang ” from a year ago still gets regular spins from me. Play that tune with “ 7” Pimp ” by Patryk Molinari (via the Berlin based imprint Exploited) and, well, the two just work great together, IMO. So Oliver$, also happens to be from Berlin, and is definitely someone that should be on your radar, if you’re into the deeper and funkier side of house music with roots in old school. Check releases on Made To Play, Grand Petrol and Front Room Recordings and remix work on labels like Greco Roman, Rekids and Exploited (hey [...]
