We’re lucky enough to be able to present you with an interview with Major Lazer, the Jamaican commando who lost his arm fighting in the Secret Zombie War of 1984. This guy’s also some sort of bastard almagamation between two of our favourite artists – Diplo and Switch – and has been pumping out some of the freshest sounding dancefloor fillers since the makers of sliced bread decided to open up a music studio in Brooklyn.
Major Lazer – can you describe the thinking behind your music in three and a half words?
me nuh know.
Not sure there’s been a musical sensation that’s swept through the blogs with quite so much explosive speed since blogs began – what do you put that down to?

You fought in the Secret Zombie War of 1984 – are there any tales of derring-do or daring escapades that our readers should know about?

Top three favourite blogs?

Most inappropriate thing you’ve ever said in the bedroom…

Thanks Major!
