Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Amazing, but ew at Elephant Man on the track.

Praise Nadia Oh for pioneering Moombahton.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

I love a bit of Diplo - he fonky. Following him on Twitter is, er, interesting.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Who's the girl in the picture?

Also! All hail queen Nadia Oh for making Moombahton so mainstream!

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

The girl is Sara Underwood. She was a Playboy playmate for a while and now she works on the TV network G4.

And Nadia Oh obviously is an incredible innovator, always a step ahead.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

I'm super excited for this. I'm always down for more moombahton-lite.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

The EP teaser sounds immense and I can't get enough of Original Don right now. Diplo is amazing.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Did this release ever happen? I'm still spinning that Soundcloud sample.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Sounds like Express Yourself.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

It's just a common chord progression!!!!!!!

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Still no word on the EP's release... I wish they'd get on with it, but it's free (amazing sounding) music, so I can't complain.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

I didn't know until today that Major Lazer did a new year's eve mix for Annie Mac on Radio 1. The bit where the Rihanna track comes in is the highlight.

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Title track off the EP is released tomorrow! Mad Decent uploaded it onto their soundcloud just now: http://soundcloud.com/maddecent/diplo-express-yourself-feat/s-IjwRA

It's a bounce song, but Diplo went fucking nuts with the production, it's nuts. I can't even imagine hearing this out, I would lose my mind.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

OH MY GOD.

My muscles just ache thinking about how nuts I would go to this in a club. Brilliant!

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

I fucking LOVE Major Lazer. Hope to see them live soon.

I know this doesn't add much to discussion but really with those two links there's not a lot to add, is there.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Seems the Express Yourself EP is slowly being uploaded by his label to Soundcloud; 'Bird Is The Word' is up now. It's another fucking awesome club track.

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

I'm pretty much ignorant to everything Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer, but I spent a good hour listening to all of this on instant. That's saying a lot, being as how I'm prone to lose motivation to dig further on new grounds if a track doesn't catch my attention right away. Thanks!

And it sure doesn't hurt to find just how fucking handsome Diplo is. My God.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

The production on Express Yourself is amazing.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

Sigh. So the full release of the EP has been pushed to May, but 'Express Yourself' is being given the full single treatment, and is releasing next week, March 13. It's going to come with a new song, though, 'No Problem'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MIS4towJKlM

Anyways, here's the EP's tracklisting:

01 Express Yourself [ft. Nicky Da B]
02 No Problem [ft. Flinch & Kay]
03 Move Around [ft. Elephant Man and GTA]
04 Butters Theme [ft. Billy the Gent and Long Jawns]
05 Set It Off [ft. Lazerdisk Party Sex]
06 Barely Standing [ft. Datsik & Sabi]

Oh, and Diplo is apparently executive producing(?) Snoop Dogg's new album, as they've finished "at least 18" songs together. Alrighty then.

 

Re: Diplo + Switch + Major Lazer - General Discussion / Express Yourself EP

I'm dying for the song at 2:10 on the sample video.

Not really excited for anything else, but he's a good producer nonetheless.
