Major Lazer from the Mad Decent crew is the dynamic duo of Diplo and Switch. For those that may not know, Diplo is a DJ known for fusing genres like dub step, dance-hall and Baile funk in an electronically frenetic way, guaranteed to make you dance. He is one of the few guys responsible for bringing more North American attention to dance music out of the favelas of Brazil.

Switch, the DJ from the UK is a prominent figure in the Kingdom's House scene. A master at using glitched out, distorted samples over breakbeats, dub and electro, there is no doubt he can get the club jumping.

Both men have worked with likes of Justice, Santigold, Spank Rock, Basement Jaxx and M.I.A. among other names. The conception of Major Lazer brings the eccentric styles of both DJ's together with dancehall reggae at the core of a sound that you wont be able to sit around to. Don't believe me? Check out the videos below, then check the tour dates and then go ask grandpa if you can borrow his orthopedics on the date thats closest to you because your feet will be moving — a lot.
