Major Lazer is the digital reggae/dancehall project of Diplo (Philadelphia's Wes Pentz) and Switch (London's Dave Taylor), two globetrotting, tastemaking DJ/producers whose previous collaborations notably included production work for M.I.A. and Santigold. Recorded at Jamaica's Tuff Gong studios, the debut album Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do featured vocal contributions from noted dancehall stars including Vybz Cartel, Busy Signal, Mr. Vegas, and Turbulence as well as Santigold, Nina Sky, and rapper Amanda Blank. Following much anticipation and online chatter fueled in part by the novelty video/song "Zumbi" featuring the comedian Andy Milonakis, the frenetic legitimate lead single "Hold the Line," and a goofy invented back-story about a renegade Jamaican commando with prosthetic lazer arms who was allegedly a Zombie War veteran and vampire-fighting C.I.A. operative (but was demonstrably a rampant Twitter user) — and, impressively, the absence of an illicit pre-release leak — the album was released in June of 2009 as a joint venture between Downtown Records and Diplo's Mad Decent label.
On November 27, 2015, Major Lazer released a re-issue of their third studio album Peace is the Mission, re-titled as "Peace is the Mission: Extended" which features five additional songs.
Major Lazer had over 27 Million Shazams in 2015. As an artist, Diplo along with his other collaboration Jack Ü, had the greatest number of Shazams in 2015.
In 2016,Lean On won YouTube one billion club music.Studio album Peace Is The Mission (Remixes) was released on June 2016.
