This past May, Major Lazer released the track "Get Free" featuring one of the singers from the Dirty Projectors, Amber Coffman, who is well known for her collaboration with Rusko on the track "Hold On." For Major Lazer, a group effort between producers Diplo and Switch, this track is a departure from their usual Dancehall, Moombahton, Reggae Hip Hop style. The track is hypnotizing, melodic, and peaceful, and the minimal, down-tempo production really highlights Coffman's incredible vocals.  The track was released by Downtown Music LLC on the 3-track Get Free EP. Major Lazer is currently on tour in Australia, and will be headed to Southeast Asia.

The group's live, instrumental style accentuated by psychedelic overtones is well-suited for adapting some of these classic tunes for modern day listeners. Nadis Warriors have been touring heavily this summer, having performed at such festivals as Camp Bisco XI, and Electric Forest. They are currently touring the midwest, and will be performing this Fall in Philadelphia at the inaugural City Bisco on October 6th alongside the Disco Biscuits, Diplo, RJD2, A-Trak, Paper Diamond and Tipper.
