![A-Trak w/ GTA + Lil Texas and Arnold @ Celebrities [Show Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4876840_lg.jpg)
Alright. I'm now firmly aware of the damage that Celebrities Nightclub can have on my eardrums. Those Funktion-One's are not to be underestimated, especially with the legendary canadian DJ icon A-Trak on the decks! GTA and M.O.D. Crew members Lil Texas and Arnold accompanied A-Trak in his Vancouver stop on his April Fools tour. This was my first time seeing any of these DJ's spin, so I was extremely interested in the track selection and vibes they created with each of their masterful mixing skills. GTA [...]

Last night, Sound Academy hosted Diplo's Mad Decent dancehall collective Major Lazer playing to a sold out crowd of rabid fans in the latest episode of their 2013 Free the Universe world tour. The team absolutely blew the roof off with an explosive, unforgettable performance packed with new jams and timeless classics. For the uninitiated: " Major Lazer is a fictional cartoon character, who fought as a Jamaican commando and lost both arms in a secret zombie war in 1984. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, [...]
TRACK: Major Lazer - Get Free Amber, la de los Dirty Projectors consiguió que Major Lazer dejase de ser un proyecto de puro culeo, pistolas y metralla. Contrastando con [....]
¿Conocéis a Diplo ? Pues Major Lazer es uno de sus propuestas más interesantes, tal vez conocida por muchos por haber lanzado un álbum debut muy interesante, Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do , que data de 2009, y un puñado de EPs y remezclas que incluyen la colaboración de Azealia Banks, que seguramente ha hecho que muchos descubran a este relativamente desconocido proyecto. Su segundo ataque de larga duración, Major Lazer Frees The Universe , se pone a la venta en [...]
Weekly Playlist 84 features Grizzly Bear, MS MR, Kanye West, Jay Z & Big Sean, Major Lazer, Fingalick, The xx, Mystery Jets and Two Door Cinema Club. Grizzly Bear - A Simple Answer Back at it again and for me these guys are just pure class. Every track meticulously laid down and this one i've chosen is no exception. MZ MS MR - Hurricane Just so cool. Lovin this sort of music at the moment, so much of it about! Got that same sort of Grimes vibe. Will [...]

If you haven't, check out this subtly badass music video before continuing on to the rest of this post (my personal favorite is the part with the T-Rex skeleton) How about this awesome mashup between Major Lazer and N.C. rapper J.

Since coming across Canadian producer Ryan Hemsworth , I've been a big fan. Everything he releases continues to get better and better, which we can hear on his most recent remix. He took the UK singer Lianne Le Havas song "Age" and added in cool synths and more R&B vibes. You have to respect what this kid is doing and creating, I personally love all his stuff. If you missed it, we did a best remixes and bootlegs post about his music, check that here . Also, "Age" premiered over at Earmilk . [...]
Major Lazer feat Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors - Get Free This song. That voice. Ugh. Swoon. I realize this isn’t the updated official video but I prefer this one, personally.
Hot on the heels of revealing details of their forthcoming second album, Free The Universe , Major Lazer will be touring Europe this Summer for a series of live dates, including the return of their now legendary Notting Hill Carnival party. Since its inception in 2009, the one-armed cartoon Jamaican renegade know as Major Lazer (fronted by Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Diplo ) has become a cultural zeitgeist- from being sampled by Beyonce for her single ' Run The World (Girls) ', selling out [...]
Theophilus covered a Wang Chung song. Azealia is still sexy as hell. Purity Ring turned trap trippy. Flying Lotus, Earl, and a suspiciously Tylerish-sounding dude named Captain Murphy joined forces for the most mind-meltingly blunted jam I've heard in months. The xx came back to save us all, and Ariel Pink went all folky, '60s parents-pop on us. Jacques Greene kept it settled while TNGHT smashed us in the fucking face. Not to mention, Passion Pit came with a gorgeously constructed collection of candy-coated pop songs that, despite occasionally sounding like the audio equivalent of rainbow sherbet, are actually super [...]

This track has been out for some time and I just never got it up here on the blog. Major Lazer is a collaboration between Diplo and Switch and they released this particular single earlier this year. It's got a decidedly Jamaican flavor, beautiful vocals from Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors, and it resonates on both the pop hit and notable music levels. Never got love from a government man, heading downstream til the levee gives in, what can I do to get the money, we ain't got the money, we ain't gettin' out [...]
Nowadays, producers are becoming just as celebrated as pop stars themselves. Listening to chart music without hearing some sort of signature sample, riff or sound effect is an increasing rarity. On the rise is Diplo (aka Thomas Pentz), an American producer who has collaborated with the likes of M.I.A, Beyonce and Usher - his most well known track is probably 2010's Pon De Floor sampled in Beyonce's Run The World. But Pon De Floor was part of his side project 'Major Lazer' [...]
This article was written by Cynthia Nunez-Smith, a contributing editor from Portland, OR. The Dirty Projectors released a new album last week called "Swing Lo Magellan." You'll mainly hear the voice of lead singer David Longstreth all about the record. The truth is, his voice is not my cup of tea. I am more of a fan of their arrangements, specifically featuring the harmonious vocals of Haley Deckle and Amber Coffman . Sure, Longstreth has an artistic vision, but I can't help but think that the record doesn't feature enough of my [...]
I have become obsessed with this song over the past week thanks to a friend. I've always been a somewhat fan of Major Lazer having liked Pon De Floor, Hold The Line and the rest of the duo's first LP but this song is on another level. The beat isn't so much dancehall anymore as reggae and it's beautiful. Then you've got the lovely voice of Amber from the Dirty Projectors with a catchy hook. The lyrics are actually quite sad and betray the feelings I got from the song before actually listening properly. Have a [...]
