The other night, my friend @ridichrissy was telling me her friend had a plus one to see Major Lazer among others, perform at Terminal 5. Off instincts, I immediately asked her to get some video footage, not really expecting it to happen. To my surprise, she messages me on Sunday asking me how she can transfer the file over and one day later, here it is for you to enjoy. What a crazy frickin’ performance.

People taking the initiative is always welcome in a time where being bland leads to being cool. So, when someone puts out a product on a culture that’s in a creative limbo, we get to see its ups, downs, and all-arounds. With The Electro Wars, director and creatvor Stephen Vasquez wanted to capture the essence that is electro culture–from the skimpy skirts to the tightest jeans and the most distorted sounds humanly possible to manipulate. With an upcoming screening during the 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Stephen took time to elaborate on his film and his origins of being a electro “warrior.”

Major Lazer “Sound of Siren (feat. Busy Signal x M.I.A.)”
[audio:http://www.urb.com/files/2010/02/Major-Lazer-Sound-of-Siren-ft.-M.I.A.-and-Busy-Signal.mp3|titles=Major Lazer - Sound of Siren [ft. M.I.A. and Busy Signal]
From Pitchfork:
UPDATE: Turns out this is actually a new Major Lazer track! According to Diplo, it’s from a new EP.
M.I.A. is a woman without a genre, but her global polyglot pop style has always drawn a lot of inspiration from Jamaican dancehall reggae.
