Originally launched at the end of the 2000s as a dancehall reggae-influenced side project of two taste-making dance producers, Major Lazer gradually became one of the most popular acts on the planet, driven by a world-uniting mission to "make the party bigger." The group has collaborated with, produced, or remixed dozens of acts from around the world, including megastars like Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande, and has always kept its ears open to emerging styles and scenes, including reggaeton, trap, and electro-house.
