[SUMMER/REGGAE] Major Lazer ft. Chronixx – “Where I Come From (Get Free Rhythm)”
It feels as though everything I’ve been listening to recently reminds me of summer. That could just be that I’m so over the wintery stay-indoors vibes that we’ve been hearing from artists over the last 5 months, or that I’m so ready for the warm weather that I can’t think of anything else. And there’s hardly a better artist to get you warmed up for the summertime than Major Lazer with their instant reggae hit “Where... Read More
[ELECTRO/MOOMBAH] Diplo ft. Lazerdisk Party Sex – “Set It Off” (TheFatRat Remix)
You remember the old, happy beats that used to come from ze German prooducer TheFatRat? Yeah, his remix of Diplo‘s “Set It Off” featuring Lazerdisk Party Sex is nothing like that. Trading in the happy house beats from something entirely more raw and edgy, TheFatRat turns to Moombahton as a fitting tribute to Diplo’s tune. Upcoming sounds from the German producer will see a return to his old beats, but for now enjoy the grimy,... Read More
[REGGAE] Bruno Mars – “Locked Out Of Heaven” (Major Lazer Remix)
The beginning of winter’s deep freeze in Chicago has begun as temperatures have began to sink steadily over the past couple weeks. But listening to Major Lazer‘s new remix of Bruno Mars‘ “Locked Out Of Heaven” helps keep the cold at bay for at least a couple minutes. It’s always summer for Major Lazer and this electro-tinged reggae remix has me longing for summer in Chicago already. I suppose I’ll just have... Read More
[REGGAE/ELECTRO] Major Lazer ft. Flux Pavilion – “Jah No Partial”
Major Lazer is back, sans Switch, with a massive new track featuring non other than UK dubstep sensation, Flux Pavilion, with “Jah No Partial.” Part Jamaican roots reggae, part electro infused chords, and topped with a bit of dubstep makes for one banging track. Sampling Johnny Osbourne’s ”Mr. Marshall,” Diplo tries hard to bring that original Major Lazer sound, but it still feels like something is missing without Switch on the... Read More
[HIP-HOP] Three Loco ft. Diplo – “We Are Farmers”
Interesting new(er) track from a group you may not have heard of before. Combining their powers of white boy rapping and drinking, Dirt Nasty, RiFF RAFF (aka Jody Highroller), and Andy Milonakis have teamed up to form the group Three Loco. Their first single is “We Are Farmers,” rapping over a DJA produced version of the famous We Are Farmers jingle from Farmer’s Insurance. While the lyrics don’t say anything significant,... Read More
[REMIX] No Doubt – “Settle Down” (Major Lazer Remix)
When No Doubt released their first single in a decade, I could hardly contain my excitment. And then I heard “Settle Down” and found myself a bit disappointed to hear some of their 90′s magic had been lost. The song just felt like it was lacking. But not anymore, as the Diplo and Switch duo better known as Major Lazer have taken this track to a new level. Adding a bit of tempo, drums, and some great new synthesized sounds while... Read More
[BOUNCE] Diplo – “Express Yourself” (Ft. Nicky Da B) Official Music Video
I didn’t have a better genre to file this under than ‘Bounce.” It’s just the first thing that came to my head after watching Diplo‘s official video for his new single “Express Yourself.” Diplo teams up with Nicky Da B and the city of New Orleans to bring us the first visuals off his upcoming EP of the same name. Express Yourself is due out via Mad Decent sometime in May, so you’ll just have to stare... Read More
[R&B/DUBSTEP] Usher – “Climax” prod. by Diplo (Official Music Video + Vaski Remix)
Usher and Diplo have hit sexy time gold with their new R&B jam “Climax.” Now they have released the official visuals for the track, which you can check out below. Nothing too special here as “Climax” gets the usual R&B girl drama treatment. What does stand out, however, is Vaski‘s dirty mix of the jam. Sexy dubstep in all the right places really turns the heat up on this track and I would recommend throwing... Read More
[Electro/Soul] Diplo & Usher – “Climax”
Holy sexy time, Batman! This song is going to be responsible for a lot of babies 9 months from now. Dropped yesterday for Valentine’s Day, Diplo and Usher have teamed up to produce “Climax.” Diplo describes it as “some next level electrosoul” that is sure to help all the couples out there get down to the get down. It’s exactly what I would expect out of Usher, but not so much from Diplo. The back track is more of a mellowed... Read More
