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 [...]

For 'Get Free' they asked talented Dirty Projectors singer Amber Coffman who also features dub-stepper Rusko on his latest album. Download the original Version + 2 nice remixes below! Download: Major [...]
Monday Music’s the one weekly post where Some Of It Was True! drops its London-only focus. Dirty Gold - California Sunrise Ahhh, is that ocean spray on my face? No, its mild acid rain. BUT I CAN DREAM. San Diegan Dirty Gold’s California Sunrise has that hazy, happy summer sound, with seagulls (literally, seagulls squawking. Nothing beats the power of suggestion) and sand being kicked in your eyes as you skip over dunes, laughing, smiling, having fun. Until you fall and land on [...]
If you've listened to the Dirty Projectors' gorgeously-precise pop before, you might be a little apprehensive that their bewitching vocalist Amber Coffman is singing on the new Major Lazer track, 'Get Free'. After all, the 'group' (now a Diplo solo project following the departure of producer Switch ) are best known for the thumping beat and whirring synths of 'Pon de Floor', and the daggering (ie: thrusting your crotch as a dance move) that accompanied it. Thankfully, 'Get Free' is more [...]
This song has been bouncing around on the interwebs for the past few days. It’s also been growing on me with each listen. Major Lazer aka Diplo and Switch bring in Amber Coffman of The Dirty Projectors to sing on this bouncy pop jam. via
This past Monday Major Lazer (Diplo + Switch) released their dreamy summer track "Get Free" featuring Dirty Projector's lead singer and venturing solo artist Amber Coffman. "Get Free" cruises along with it's arm out the window at an easy 88bpm, wind in it's face, with Amber's powerful and eerie vocals howling, pushing a solid summer groove. The Projects' own San Francisco based techno producer Nolan Gray's remix of "Get Free" takes a fantastic song deeper into the club by stepping on the gas and bringing the bpm up to a danceable 108. Boasting a beefy bassline with powerful melodic synths, [...]

He might not be dapper, but this cartoon can dagger. Major Lazer, the souped-up, one-armed, 802s-style animated soldier alter ego of Diplo and Switch, switches gears from his usual cage-dancing jump-offs to a slower, more heartfelt anthem with "Get Free," featuring vocals from Dirty Projectors' Amber Coffman. The collaboration highlights what both sides do best; the DJs' irresistible hooks coupled with Coffman's detached wailing creates a post-apocalyptic odyssey of a track, a vibe their video plays off as it follows Lazer from piles of dinosaur bones to open space, where he's destined to shoot lasers into the nothingness alone. It's [...]
Major Lazer is back and teamed up with Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors to deliver some beautiful soundscapes and heavy lyrics that immediately give me flashbacks to Coachella 2010. Major Lazer and Dirty Projectors where highlights for me that magical/inspirational weekend, especially Dirty Projectors who helped my mind grow exponentially in all directions. Keep an eye out for officially release dates for Major Lazer album and tour and go here for Dirty Projects summer tour schedule. Big ups to our long lost Dank Radio comrade D$ for putting me up on this one, its definitely [...]

Major Lazer’s been hyping their new single “Get Free” via twitter for some time now, and now the full song’s here for you to sample. It’s likely Diplo and co.’s most slow-burning track to date, but that doesn’t mean their famously crazy beats have gone anywhere – in fact, thoughtful Major Lazer might have yielded one of their best offerings so far. On “Get Free,” an classic reggae bass pulse gets buried underwater and under cutting synth planes, arpeggiating keyboard riffs, and, most strikingly, Dirty Projector Amber Coffman’s cut up, layered, sometimes distorted, [...]

Today should be considered an exciting one for all music enthusiasts as ten months after we first encountered a preview , we've finally been allowed to hear Major Lazer 's sweet reggae lilt 'Get Free' in full, uniting the crossover dancehall dons with the luscious vocals of Dirty Projectors' Amber Coffman . Seemingly casting a niche for herself as indie chanteuse for hire by the Mad Decent roster (Check Rusko 's album highlight 'Hold On' here ), Coffman brings some much needed elegance, class and sultriness to Diplo and Switch's jubilant instrumental. After the relative hard-style misstep that [...]
Fact: Get Free is the best track Major Lazer ever put out. Partly Amber Coffman (of Dirty Projectors ) vocal performances, partly Switch and Diplo being such good producers. It's an usual collab, but oh boy, this is so good. Grab the track and a Bondo do Role remix over at their website . "I just wanna dream..." Amazing.
