The collaborative project of DJs Diplo and Switch, Major Lazer is - apparently - a veteran of the secret Jamaican zombie war of 1984; he rides a hoverboard, battles nocturnal nasties such as vampires and the undead, and "parties hard". Moving aside from the musical persona of the Major, the duo have just ended a US tour and were nominated in the MTV Video Awards for Best Breakthrough Video (for Hold The Line)
Taken from the debut album "Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do", Pon de Floor is remeniscent of Basement Jaxx, Santigold or Chemical Brothers; catchy repetetiveness hooked up to an beat. If you wanted more of a sound compass, vocalists such as Santigold, Vybz Kartel, Ward 21, Busy Signal and Nina Sky. Pon de Floor is a turbulent, choppy track, slipping in and out of consciousness - a rolling, thunderous electronic sea. It should be used as the soundtrack to a mobile phone advert. Basically, if Mr T was into dub, this is what he'd come out with.
