The highly anticipated reggae dubstep album from dj’s Diplo and Switch is finally upon us. Although it’s tempting to treat it as a sequel to diplo’s Top Ranking Santigold collab album from last summer, Major Lazer is it’s own thing. There are a few tracks, like Lazer theme, which are clearly the work of Diplo. Highlights include a baby who is born with autotune for his voice.

I stumbled upon Diplo’s Fabric live set at a friend’s house the other night and as I’ve been informed this set put Diplo on the map way back when. If you don’t know already, Fabric is a club in London famous for its legendary shows and limited releases of the sets played there. These are some track’s from Diplo’s Fabric Live 24 set, enjoy.

Toronto’s VNDLSM hits Coda Club this Friday backed up by Montreal’s Hatchmatik and Brendon Duvall and from what I’ve gathered, they’re live show is worth checking out. Not convinced? then stay the fuck home and I’ll tell you about it Saturday. One less person to bump into me and spill my drink.

Hostilities aside, Coda will likely be the perfect size venue for a show like this and it should be a good time. Check out some tunes to warm you up:

VNDLSM – Uh Oh! (mp3)

Rihanna – Umberalla [VNDLSM remix] [Diplo RE-remix] (mp3)
