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.

Song Of The Day: TV on the Radio - Will Do (Switch Remix)

The Brooklyn-based band, TV on the Radio, has teamed up with DJ/Producer Switch on this remix of their track 'Will Do' from their most recent release Nine Types of Light. Switch, who is perhaps best known for his work with MIA and Santigold also runs the labels Dubsided and Counterfeet, and is one half of the DJ Duo Major Lazer with Diplo. Nine Types of Light (released earlier this year) is TV on the Radio's first release since 2008's Dear Science, which was received with warm critical acclaim. The group is known for combining elements of countless genres (free-form jazz, electro, indie-rock, punk, blues, etc) with intelligent, thought out lyrics.
