What an absolute delight last Thursday to get an email from Electric Picnic announcing new acts for the madness in early September. One of the most anticipated acts must be Diplo and Switches collective Major Lazer, based on a one-armed Jamaican ex-commando Gorillaz styled cartoon character. The album Guns Don’t Kill People….Lazers Do is a hyperactive and ambitious attempt to fuse reggae with electro mainstream and will keep you bopping for hours at EP.

Check out their addictive baby Autotune below. Pity its only a minute long:

Major Lazer – Baby

Pon De Floor is another track on the album that’s already found its way into a few livesets I’ve been hearing of late. Check Below:

Major Lazer – Pon De Floor

Expect a packed Electric Picnic dance tent going off to crazy Rastafarian styled bangers, Fluoro Graphics and Ghetto-Bootied Reggae Dancers like in the video below from a recent gig of theirs in NYC!
