Why do we like this?
I typically shy away from posting about mixtapes here on Indie Shuffle (notable exception here), but the latest creation from Diplo and Switch deserves some mad love. "˜Lazerproof' is a genius rework of nearly all of La Roux's self-titled debut. The entire mixtape is entertaining, fun and hilarious in that very special Major Lazer way. Even though it seems Diplo and Switch didn't do much writing or producing for the tape, it still shows off their eclectic taste and knowledge of various dance and island genres. Major Lazer splices La Roux's catchy synth pop with elements of reggae, dancehall, dub, hip-hop, and even grime. The mix is dynamic and creative and the bouncy, wobbly, bass is bound to get you moving.

The guest drops are fantastic, especially when female rappers Candi Redd and Amanda Blank hop on the mic. Blank gets even more fantastically dirty than usual on the downright pornographic "rerub" of "˜Quicksand.' As good as this is, I'm not going to bother jacking it off anymore since you simply don't need to take my word for it. You can download the whole thing in high quality MP3 form FOR FREE over at Major Lazer's Bandcamp page.
