Major Lazer x Notting Hill Carnival session on RBMA Radio

Following on from 2009’s event, Red Bull Music Academy Radio celebrated the return of Major Lazer Soundystem to Notting Hill Carnival this last Monday, August 30. Diplo and Switch introduced handpicked talent from around the world, legendary dub wizard Lee 'Scratch' Perry amongst them.

Assisting the Major on decks was the original ‘Gentleman Rudebwoy’, David Rodigan, who took the dance by storm once more with one of his legendary edutainment speeches on King Tubby and some classic Rodigan tunes from Junior Gong to, well, Major Lazer's Pon Di Floor. Dubstep producer of the moment Joker kept the bleeps on grind with tunes including Katy B's Top 5 single, Katy On A Mission, dead prez' Hip Hop, and of course some of his own productions and remixes.

UK garage renaissance man Sticky, Buenos Aires-based Douster, and socalectro king and Academy ’10 grad Poirier also performed alongside Drop The Lime who went from brylcreemed rockabilly to familiar club hits like Sex Sax.

For all those who missed the live broadcast from Portobello & Acklam, the first sets are now up and running on-demand on RBMA Radio. To rewind MAjor Lazer's headlining performance with Scratch Perry, whine yuh dial over to FACT who have the mix as a one-week exclusive.
