Rihanna - Getty Rihanna got London in the holiday spirit by switching on the Christmas lights at the Westfield Stratford City shipping centre today (November 19). Swagged out in a grey and blue striped pant set, with a matching blue coat and sunglasses, RiRi performed her light-switching duties and performed a couple of her biggest hits for the crowd. RiRi attended the event at Westfield ahead of her big concert at The Forum in London as part of her highly-ambition 777 Tour. The concert was her sixth in six days in the [...]

The Growl - With the Sharp End of the Trowel …branding themselves as “Aussie Garage-Rock,” The Growl is a breath of fresh air and certainly not what you’d expect from this description. As I listened to their single “With the Sharp End of the Trowel,” I found myself agreeing with what other journalists have said about them: “inexplicable and magical.” With the music seemingly out of time…blended with haunting vocals, I found myself reminiscing about Jim Morrison’s approach to the Doors. The lyrics to this song were dark and captured my attention [...]

Short and sweet is the tone to this quick chat about a few changes and new projects in the world of the globe trotting, forward thinking prodcuer Diplo. The topic in question here are the changes going on in the roster of Major Lazer, an island inspired band and Dj troupe. Originally the group consisted of soley Diplo and Switch, made famous by their debut album 'Guns Dont Kill People Lazers Do.' As an early influence to Diplo Switch always seemed to be the production fire that sparked Major Lazer tracks into a different universe. Obviously either we are wrong [...]

Listen to DJ Jaziah's exclusive mix for Société Perrier.
1. El año pasado, Major Lazer dio el que, en mi opinión, fue uno de los mejores conciertos de 2011 en el Bleú (Reforma). Fue una fiesta de esas que no se pueden explicar muy bien y ningún video le rinde honor a la locura que presenciaste, especialmente del momento en el que el 80% del público se quitó la ropa, o cuando Skerrit Bwoy –el hype man de Diplo y Switch– agarró a una asistente y la "consintió" (más detalles en el siguiente video, al minuto 4:49). [...]
Here's some tasty new gems from UK based outfit The Switch . The tunes in the soundcloud player below are catchy Brit-pop numbers "Heard it All Before" and "Dont Worry Baby". You'll hear a familiar breezy pop style in both songs similar to Texas boys Young Girls mixed with a little bit of Two Wounded Birds. It's really excellent work however you want to label it really. Both songs will be coming your way via 73 single this November on It's All Happening Records .
Another incredibly produced track by Diplo , this time for English singer Alex Clare .. and a dubstep MONSTER of a track at that. He teamed up with Switch (Past member of Major Lazer) for the production and it blends organic sounds like the drum stick clanking and a HUGE bass wobbles, with Alex Clare's incredible voice powering the track. You may recognize it from the recent Internet Explorer commercials. Well I've also got an amazing bootleg remix done by Cazzette , the Swedish duo that is on the Avicii team who drops [...]

You might hear this track in several sets by Boys Noize or Erol and others over the last years, cause Switch and Erol Alkan just made this back in 2009. Saturated acid lines, scratches, vocal snippets and the biggest kick drum this side the Planet 808 dominate the track which is possibly the heaviest release these days by Phantasy Sound Records. The original is my favourite but there's only a short preview of the Willie Burns remix. But I'm really curious about the Bok Bok remix. Can't wait to hear it. [...]
Alle halbe Jahre wieder kommt nicht das Christkind, aber etwas fast genauso Gutes...nämlich ein charmanter UK-Export mit Namen Erol Alkan und auch er hat Geschenke mitgebracht!

Eine kleine Preview zu seinem Track A Sydney Jook , den er gemeinsam mit Switch produziert hat, trägt der Londoner auch noch im Gepäck und geht damit am [...]
DJ A-BE , Get Lifted Tonight's designated event DJ and writer, recently recorded a trap mix for your listening pleasure. This "amateur" DJ from Brooklyn, as he humbly describes himself, takes inspiration from turntablists DJ AM and A-Trak , who “definitely know how to rock a party”. Although he grew up listening to hip-hop and Chicago house, he admits “a guilty pleasure for pop music” as well. You’ll see Abe lugging around his heavy Technic 1200s to parties in and around his university in the Providence area as well as to gigs in NYCs’s niche [...]

A 41 ans le rappeur a une carrière grosse comme la poitrine de Carmen Electra , après avoir balayé beaucoup de chose sur la scène hip-hop/rap US, son séjour en Jamaïque lui a permis de taper une très grosse crise de la quarantaine. Récemment interdit de voyage en Norvège pour usage de stupéfiants (surprenant), il est allé rendre visite à Diplo et Switch dans le QG de Major Lazer . Nous savions que Diplo était bon, mais de là à réussir à faire changer son nom à Snoop Dogg et [...]
