Uh..whoa. Drugs.

I may have just creamed my pants a little. Broadcasting live from the Oh My! beat fortress, I bring you the latest and greatest from Dave Taylor. Switch has long since been one of my favorite producers, and honestly, I’ve been a little bummed about his left turn into the baile-daggering world of Major Lazer. Granted, Pon de Floor changed the game — but where did everyone’s favorite wonk-house wizard go?

Anyways, enough with the talk. I pressed play on this beast and have once again bestowed my faith upon Taylor. This track is nonsense. Just.. utter greatness. A nice chunky stuttered kick and punchy snare accompany the pumping atmospherics in the background. The bass wobbles are proper wonky, flashing me back to ’09 — and don’t forget that lead whistle-wobble that bounces in and out on its quick 1/16th beat rhythm. YUM!

Kool Keith -Drugs – Full Release Preview by Sugarcane

Coming out on Sugarcane Recordings on Dec. 15th. Oh yeah, and as you saw, the release also features remixes from Two Fingers (Amon Tobin & Doubleclick) and Hot Chip. Mark your calendars and grab da hotness!

Lets all take a second and hope that there is more of this juiciness to come. Thank you again, Dave. This track will be in my sets all damn month!

This Major Lazer x La Roux mixtape dropped earlier today and I’ve been listening to it nonstop since then. The production and remixing on this mixtape is impeccable and the vibe changes are incredibly on point. To top it off, some of the bangers on this mixtape have some serious slaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppp. Once again, NO ON HAS SWAGGER LIKE MAD DECENT!

You can get it here.

Major Lazer’s new EP ‘Lazers Never Die’

A+ — Thu, 13 May 2010 21:10:40 +0000

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.

Guns Don’t Kill People. Lazers Do!

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.

“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.

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.
