We won't be in any reggae publications or websites.

The energy Major Lazer presents on stage is guided by sound system sessions of years ago.

The sound system influence is undeniable in hip-hop, in jungle, drum and bass, now EDM.

We're doing unusual records that sound big, have a pop feel, and we're getting better at it.

We like to be the people who go - can go out into the world and say we're the people seeking places that need bridges built and need the kind of energy that we bring, and then actively doing the show. We will pay for it ourselves. We just want to bring the kind of enjoyment that we know we can bring.

I'm from Miami, and Diplo is from Fort Lauderdale. We grew up with a lot of Cuban and Haitian friends.
