Late on this one for sure but it's the perfect sunday/ weekend/ sunny day/ doobie day mix. First hour is mixed by Diplo, second hour is Switch. I was very surprised with how good this mix is, really diggin the reggae mixed in with some old classic rock and pounding electro beats. Great mix for summer which [...]

So, here's the official final single version of the lead single of Beyoncé's forthcoming album that will land this summer and the final title of the song is 'Run the World (Girls)'.

Listen to the final version below and buy the single off iTunes here . The official video, directed by Francis Lawrence, is also expected to drop soon. Beyoncé [...]
Rumours have been flying around like crazy that Diplo would be involved on Beyoncé's fourth studio album (scheduled to drop around June) and I sure hope this new single 'Girls (Who Run The World)' is not all BeyBey and the big Dippers have cooked up together cause this production just contains a sample of Major Lazer's 'Pon De Floor' from 2009. But I'm not gonna lie, I'm like the fly with sugar, the moth to the flame etc. for female empowering songs like this and I LOVE 'Girls (Who Run The World)' with every inch of my [...]
Earlier this year, producers extraordinaire Diplo and Switch (the brains behind Major Lazer) teased fans by revealing that they had been trying to get the pop goddess of Planet Earth, Mrs. Beyoncé Giselle Knowles , to work with lo-fi wunderkinds Sleigh Bells. While the fruits of that union have yet to be determined, Mrs. Carter did get some sonic love from Diplo and Switch with the track "Girls (Who Run the World)", off her as-yet-untitled new album. The song, which samples Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor", is a dropkick to the [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive Daniel Boczarski, Redferns Many of ace producer/DJ/music maker Diplo 's dreams have come true in the past few years. But it seems the frequent M.I.A. collaborator still loves escaping into fantasy -- not exactly the 'Dungeons and Dragons' type, more the kind where superheroes zoom in and save the day. "Jumping around and blowing up bad guys? That's something I'd always want to be part of," Diplo [...]
Trying to get up to speed with submissions from last week that I still haven't had time to cover and this is one of the many gems, Stunnaman (The Pack) teams up with Trap House's girl Chippy Nonstop for some pure magic in 'You's A Chote', taken from Stunnaman's upcoming mixtape "The Swag King". And yes, you should have Chippy Nonstop under your radar nonstop as she has some pretty nice things in her pipline for this spring. How about a feature on the new Major Lazer album dropping in April together with Pharrell, Diplo and Switch? [...]

By now, schoolchildren across America have surely been told the heroic tale of Major Lazer, the Jamaican commando who, according to press releases, lost an arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. Fortunately for those of us born after said carnage, M. Lazer is known not only for his exploits against the undead and his rocket-powered hoverboard, but for his hard-partying dancehall music as well. DJs Diplo and Switch, who met while working with M.I.A., are responsible for Major Lazer's sound. Their first album, Guns Don't Kill People ... Lazers Do was released in 2009, and [...]

This is a web rip from the labels soundcloud. I've seen this jam labeled as being produced by Diplo & Switch, which in this day and age you can really never trust. However I believe it because this is so damn sick. Its sort of like rock/dancehall. This Alex Clare guy (never heard of him [...]
If i could say in one word why i started looking up blogs and eventually started blogging, my one word would be, 'Switch'. for those who are not aware; before crookers, before the ed banger crew, before boys noize; there was Switch . A man who did not invent, but paved the way for innovations in fidget house and a popular figure in the early dance blog era 5 years ago. one could argue that there are not many artists in the saturated world of dance music who can create longevity in their music. this is unless [...]
This is something we have been sent a few links on, but not until Episode 3 did we decide to click play, admittedly because it mentioned Diplo in the title (apologies). However it proved an interesting watch as Diplo describes his love for all things Dancehall & Reggae and the process he uses to make music. "Episode three turns the spotlight onto Diplo : one of the world’s most sought after producers (with the likes of M.I.A, Snoop Dogg and his own project Major Lazer on [...]
The Major Lazer crew keeps it fresh on this track for Up All Night. We're digging the rattles of the bass on the verse and that massive shout-it-out chorus. We're thinking weekend soundtrack material. Let us know. Alex Clare - Up All Night (Prod. Diplo & Switch) Check Alex Clare here rating: 8.1
No lo sabíamos, hasta que esta mañana la gente de Fader publicó el video de " Up All Night ", el primer sencillo de este misterioso británico fichado ya por Island Records , y basándose en este "fino producto" que fue solicitado a Diplo y Switch , mejor conocidos hoy día como Major Lazer, suponemos que algo más ha de salir pronto. Pero ¿qué hace Diplo jodiendo con el rock? Bueno, esto no es novedad en lo absoluto. No olvidemos a Santogold , ni los remixes que la ha [...]
