Hot from a studio in Jamaica, Major Lazer (AKA the multi-talented Diplo and Switch) have produced a new mixtape, in conjunction with La Roux. Released last weel, it brings La Roux’s blend of angular, ‘80s inspired electro and merges it with the sweat of Major Lazer’s dirty, dancehall rhythms.With contributions from Drake, Rusko and Gucci Mane to name just a few, it’s the sound of the summer. The best part? Mad Decent are giving it away for free and you can download it here.

The five-track EP from cartoon dancehall duo Major Lazer is greater than the sum of its parts.

Slipped Discs continues with hip-hop royalty, a genre-busting classical quartet, the future of soul music, an Americana demigod and many more. All records that missed our top 60 list last year.

Major Lazer: Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do

By Christine Kakaire

18 Jun 2009

A made-up musical identity, fronted by animated character with a ridiculous backstory, that boldly mashes genres to an extremely danceable effect... no it’s not Gorillaz, but the new album from fidgety superduo Major Lazer.
