Major Lazer´s latest video release “Lean On” makes us feel like we just lost ground, our whole body feeling the rhythm going through and through. The future dancehall project by DJ Diplo whose real name is Wesley Pentz and co-conspirators Walshy Fire and Jillionaire announce a new album coming out on the 1st of June 2015 on Because/Mad Decent called ‘Peace is the Mission’.
Lean On is a collaboration with “Turn Down For What” superstar producer DJ Snake and Danish it-girl MØ and the colourful video has been shot in India, and is “inspired by the people, culture and warmth we experienced on our recent tour.” And on making the video Diplo adds: “India is special and its beauty absolutely humbled me. When we toured there as Major Lazer, it was mind blowing to see our fan-base and we wanted to incorporate the attitude and positive vibes into our video and just do something that embodies the essence of Major Lazer. Major Lazer has always been a culture mashup and to us, India feels like some kind of special creature with one foot in history and one firmly in the future. The experience is something we’ll never forget.”
