Major Lazer’s new EP ‘Lazers Never Die’

B-r-r-r-raaHHH B-R-R-R-AAAHH

With dancefloors accross the country still recovering from their ‘Lazers Never Die’ tour, Major Lazer is set to drop a new EP by the same name on July 20th. Taking a break from some of the sooper bloopers we saw on ‘Guns Dont Kill People .. Lazers Do‘, the new ep reps a chiller vibe just in time for da summer. But one thing hasn’t changed, and that is the group of A-Listers that rolled through the legendary Tuff Gong studios to collab on da EP. Ok now for some mp3s — took some serious daggering …I mean digging, but I’ve got 3 of the upcoming singles off the EP for you here today!

1. Sound of Siren (featuring M.I.A. and Busy Signal) (128)
2. Good Enough (featuring Collie Buddz and Lindi Ortega) (128)
3. Bruk Out (Buraka Som Sistema Mix) (128)
4. Can’t Stop Now (K.L.A.M. Remix feat. Miss Banks)
5. Jump Up (Thom Yorke Remix)

Bonus: Ok, so you’re down with those tracks, but where are the new bangers at!? Well, Major Lazer and Afrojack have been playing out a follow up to the devastating ‘Pon De Floor.’ Some are calling it ‘Pon De Streets,’ others are calling it ‘Drive By,’ either way, its been slaying it. Heres a recent youtube clip of Major Lazer in philly dropping 2 unreleased tracks. The first one is unknown, but might be called ‘Original’ (?), and the second one is ‘Pon De Streets’.

Ohh and for all the ladies and fellas who need the 411 on daggering, check out Skerrit Bwoy’s instructional video.

So this year, A+ and I (Furan) journeyed down to Coachella on behalf of the CYV™ team. We documented our entire weekend with photos and videos and ultimately had one of the most epic Coachella experiences of our lives! So many amazing artists came down to perform, and the way the event was organized even seemed to be better than last year.

Oh Coachella! How you are so much fun!

Major Lazer, Major Lazer, Major Lazer!

Diplo & Switch separately are two of my favorite DJ’s; Diplo with his Hip Hop, Bmore, Mashup Style and Switch coming in with some bangin’ Techno, House, Fidget, and some Dubstep. Definately a show you want to see. We saw them both at EDC and HARD Halloween. Top Notch. Here’s a video of them at EDC:

Notice the setup they are running!!!

This first track is a bit hard to fit in your electro set, but it’s still pretty damn cool with all the funky samples.

Major Lazer – Hold The Line Direct Download

“The first time I heard Pon De Floor, I jumped out of my skin.” Afro-Electro! Nab it!

After some digging I found this other version as well. I like the vocal stabs a bit more in this one… That’s just how I like it.

Switch, Dave Taylor

Hey kids! Furan here.

A key figure in the Electro-House genre, Dave Taylor (aka Switch) has been producing for over a decade and runs his label Dubsided. Also, if you didn’t already know that Dave is the other half of the DJ / Producer superpower known as Major Lazer, then you’ve been in the dark! Today we’re just going to focus on Switch though and I’ve got some baller tracks to pass your way.

Switch – Just Bounce 2 This Direct Download
