It's good to see he doesn't take everything seriously, unlike another DJ.
Seeing Major Lazer at EDC in Vegas next week! Super amped!

I'm usually not a fan of this style of electronic music but Diplo is just fun to listen to.
He's original too, I always enjoy that.

Accurate description of an acid fueled orgy.
Heh, Major Lazer is the blackest electronica artist with the 2 whitest guys ever.

That's because Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who had his arms replaced with lazers.

Don't forget about the secret zombie war in which he fought in.
A few years ago we were playing "Jump Up" and I jumped up and knocked my head on a wood block. Was drunk though so it didn't hurt a bit.
What's everyone's thoughts on that Beyonce x Major Lazer joint then? Personally I think it's pretty lazy and unimaginitive sampling. Intro is pretty cool though.
