Fronted by a cartoon zombie-slaying Jamaican soldier, the Major Lazer experience is beyond surreal. The freaky sideshow from DJ/producer duo Diplo and Switch, bent genres onto themselves with seamless ease, swarming pop culture with an outlandish outpouring of mayhem spanning from absurd live shows to chart-smacking bangers with breakthrough performances worldwide. The departure of Switch in 2012 left Diplo in full control of Major Lazer. The Grammy-nominated founder, owner and head Honcho of Mad Decent records, Diplo (AKA Wesley Pentz) has risen through the ranks and has asserted himself as one of the most pioneering producers of the time. Through unending curiosity and exploration of the vast multitudes of the world's musical heritages, Diplo has managed to seamlessly connect the global underground to the audio mainstream.
