After both Diplo and Switch worked with MIA, they were introduced to each other and thus Major Lazer was born out of their collaboration. Their first album “Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do” was released in the summer of 2009 via Downtown Records. The album had vocal guests like Nina Sky, Santigold, and Turbulence with additional production done by Afrojack and Crookers. The album was met with quite warmly, with a MTV VMA Breakthrough Video nomination for the song “Hold The Line.” They also were slated live performances at some of the biggest music festivals around the world, such as the 2010 Coachella Music Festival in California in the United States and The Falls Music & Arts Festival in Victoria, Australia.
However, in 2011 due to creative differences Switch left and was shortly replaced by DJ/ Producer Jillionaire and Walshy Fire. The trio released “Free The Universe” in April 2013, along with the announcement of a world tour for the album. The album again featured guest vocals from various artists, such as Wyclef Jean, Bruno Mars, Laidback Luke and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. They continued to make music into 2014, with Pharrell Williams and Sean Paul signing on to be a part of their EP project, “Apocalypse Now.”
"RUN THE TRACKKK!" Every Major Lazer fan knows when they hear this it is time to get up and start bouncing to the music, specifically the band's unique blend of electronic dance and reggae undertones. I saw Major Lazer live at Mad Decent Block Party, and let me tell you they were the stars of the show. I don't think a single person was left sitting down in the entire pavilion when they came on stage, and when the DJ screams "You are now rocking with Major Lazer," you better really be rocking because they are about to drop some of the best beats of today. Their version of Original Don is the soundtrack to my freshman year of college, and I don't think anything gets me hyped like that bass line. Not only was their music incredible, but the stage was filled with psychedelic decorations that moved along with the beat, making it impossible to look away from the stage. I had seen many other artists that day and was starting to get tired, but when ML came on stage I knew I had to catch a second wind for their set. Whether you're in it for their island sounds or just the energized atmosphere of their performance, do yourself a favor and see this artist live.
