Last month I went to the Major Lazer show here in Toronto and Diplo told me that he was working on a new video for “Keep It Going Louder”. He mentioned green screen, animation and said that if we liked the last few video’s he did for Major Lazer, then he had something special in store for us. Did he ever!!
.
He also posted this photo not too long after on his twitter giving us a little visual of what to expect, but I don’t think anything could of prepared us for this video. It was directed by Eric Wareheim, the same Director who did Major Lazer’s “Pon de Floor”. You can click HERE to check out that story.

This video is straight up insane. The chicks are busted! Not the typical video vixens, let me tell ya. These chicks look like they had a run in with Chris Cunningham and that voodoo guy who shrinks Beetlejuice’s head at the end of the movie for stealing his ticket number. Damn!
Haha! Diplo’s face, total Tim and Eric move.

Click here to check out the new video and get your mind blown away!

P.S I can’t wait to see the new “Major Lazer” cartoon on Adult Swim. I’m soooo excited! Zombies, Mummy’s, Vampires and Major Lazer!!! ^_^

Last Sunday, Oct 11th, I went to check out Major Lazer. It was one of several performances being held at the Guvernment for their 13th year anniversary. I will admit, I’m not a fan of the Guvernment, seeing as its way too big for my taste and I no longer rave it out like back in the day. BUT, I made an exception to see Major Lazer, so I just stayed on their stage in the Kool Haus room.
What a night!!! I’ve been wanting to see Major Lazer for quite some time now, and there was no way I was going to miss their first performance in Toronto. I only went that night to see them, and man was I blown away!!! I don’t know what I had in mind, but all I know is that I got more than what I expected. They know how to put on a SHOW!
I was hoping to see both Diplo and Switch that night (the 2 brains behind Major Lazer), but only Diplo was there to represent, and he KILLED IT! I have always been a huge fan of Diplo no matter what direction he goes in. The man is a musical Genius! Always expanding my musical taste and surprising me with what I like.
For anyone not knowing who or what Major Lazer was all about, I can’t imagine what it must have been like stepping into that room, taking a quick glance at Diplo looking all sharp in his suit and then seeing the madness up on stage. They must have been in Shock!
1) The music, 2) Skerrit Bwoy, 3) The dancers and 4) The Daggering= Crazy “DRY SEX” on the dance floor! Braaaap!
Check out my video for a taste of what you missed! I had an awesome POV on stage, thanks Wes!
(I apologize for the audio, it starts off a little crazy)
Also here’s Major Lazer - Keep It Goin’ Louder (ft. Nina Sky & Ricky Blazey).
I’m loving the video! Zombies, bats, mummys and Major Lazer himself. Sooo good!!
Also, my boy Diplo filled me in with a little secret for their upcoming Major Lazer video. Let’s just say that if you liked Pon De Floor and Keep It Goin’ Louder, then you will love where this next one is heading. Bringing in some next level animation. Unfortunately that’s all I can tell you, but from what he explained to me, it’s going to be awesome! I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT! Obviously I will post it as soon as its out.

Check out these PUMA shoes that just came out on Sat May 16th. They’re crazy!
With the success the Cheech Wizard PUMA Clydes had back in 2007, PUMA once again called out to Mark Bodé to design a pair of sneakers to honor the artwork of his father, Vaughn Bodé. Mark and PUMA this time put together two pairs of the PUMA Mid in what is called ‘Da Lizard Pack’, a pack paying tribute to a lizard character named ‘Da Lizard’ that Vaughn Bodé created in the 1950’s.
They also made a high quality jersey hooded sweatshirt with attention to detail in the hood. Check out Da Lizard head on that!
Vaughn Bodé is one of the most influential American cartoonists of our time. Much of graffiti art itself comes from the work of Vaughn Bodé. Rendering his characters, lettering and cartoon semiotics is a rite of passage for graffiti art crews.
Here’s an animated short by Nigel Hendrickson, with input from Mark Bodé.
