I feel that as soon Major Lazer's "Hold The Line" hit, the backlash began- like the same dayglo crew that gobbled every Santi electro remix like so much dick was suddenly too cool for a little airhorn and Nina Sky. But that- for me at least- is where the whole Mad Decent op really shines: cranking out artist after artist after jam after jam that don't give a fuck about what 728x90 sneaker ad you have at the top of your blog. It's about the beat. It's about the party.

You can't dance and worry about looking cool at the same time.

Diplo and Switch have been tipping hats to their lo-tek dancehall forefathers for years now, but the high five boom of what may be their apex- June's Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do LP- will resonate in sunshine playlists for years to come. Ups to Hood Internet & Annie Mac.
