Lazers Never Die

Filed under: Videos, new tracks — Tags: — chopsticks @ 1:54 pm

Major Lazer ya’ll, you all know it. Their tune “Pon De Floor” was one of yesteryear’s hugest tracks, tearing up dancefloors from Chucktown to Bangkok and everywhere in between. They’ve released an EP entitled Lazers Never Die, featuring big names like M.I.A. as well as Jamaican dancehall giants like Busy Signal. Check out the lead single from the disc below, entitled “Sound of Siren”.

You can scoop the album here.

Major Lazer is comprised of two major innovators, Diplo and Switch, and Chopsticks has made the acquaintance of both. Below is a short vid (also titled Lazers Never Die) about their show in Atlanta a few months back.

Chopsticks was there, and if you look hard enough, you can find us.

We were also originally in the beginning shot at the Majestic Diner as we were hanging waiting for a table when Major Lazer and crew rolled in looking for a seat. We swear. Shit. And while we may not have made it onto the video the upside is that we weren’t that dude that got clapped up outside the club on top of our car, true story. Read about it here if you really want to.

Look for big things to come from the duo. Diplo and Switch are always innovating.

Party Dad TV

Filed under: Videos — Tags: , , — partydad @ 7:17 am

Hey there blog readers, Party Dad here, posting on a Friday morning instead of a Wednesday afternoon due to some technical difficulties. See, this week I got the idea to post a set of videos instead of an artist profile, but WordPress has some issues with YouTube, so I had to get CMNDer to fire up his supercomputer and fix the problem.

But you don’t want to read about all that boring behind the scenes nonsense. You want to watch videos! So without further ado, the first installment of Party Dad TV!

More videos after the jump! (more…)

Oizo and Banger

Filed under: CMNDer, Videos — Tags: , — cmnder @ 10:26 am

Mr. Oizo (pronounced monsieur waa zo) is surely one of the weirdest producer/DJs on a major label today. Signed to Ed Banger Reocrds (where you find the likes of Busy B, Justice, Uffie, and Feadz), his musical style can best be described as surrealist. His last album, Lambs Anger seems somewhat of a tribute to the iconic Salvador Dali


Scene from Dali’s “Un Chien Andalou”

Oizo is definitely one of Ed Banger’s most out-there producers, but ceases to amaze with his live sets and crazy tracks. His new soundtrack (with Gaspard from Justice) and feature length film, Rubber, are coming out soon and should not disappoint. Check out the video below.
