Major Lazer is a globally recognized electronic dance music (EDM) trio formed by record producer Diplo in 2008, and its current members include Diplo himself alongside DJs Walshy Fire and Ape Drums. Conceived as a fictional cartoon character—a Jamaican commando who fights against the dystopian forces that have ruined society—the group's music is as eclectic and adventurous as its backstory suggests, meshing dancehall with EDM, reggae, and various genres from around the world. With a mission to create a unique sound that transcends borders and genres, Major Lazer has become a platform that brings international artists and diverse musical styles together.
The group has gained widespread acclaim through high-energy performances and a flair for blending island rhythms with a modern electronic pulse. Over the years, they've released several successful albums, such as "Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do," "Free the Universe," and "Peace Is the Mission," which featured their smash hit "Lean On" in collaboration with DJ Snake and MØ. This track went on to become one of the most-streamed songs of all time. Major Lazer's influence continues to spread as they consistently drop vibrant tracks and remixes, including their most recent releases like "Piano Republik (Remixes)" and "KILO (Major Lazer & Ape Drums Remix)." With their dynamic approach to production and a global sound that transcends cultural boundaries, Major Lazer keeps the world dancing to their beat.
