Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do

Major Lazer

A chaotic, neon-lit collision of Jamaican dancehall and aggressive electronic production. High-octane, sample-heavy, and relentlessly loud.

June 16, 2009 · Downtown

Find on Amazon

Relentless, confrontational energy with a playful, cartoonish sense of chaos.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, high-pitched synth hook of Pon de Floor that feels like a digital siren drill.
The surf-guitar sample in Hold the Line colliding with a heavy dancehall riddim.
The way the bassline in When You Hear the Bassline physically rattles the low end of the mix.
