Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut studio album from the collaborative project between producers Diplo and Switch serves as a hyper-kinetic, futuristic love letter to Jamaican dancehall. Recorded largely at Tuff Gong Studios, the record features an enormous roster of guest vocalists including Vybz Kartel, Santigold, and Ward 21 over blistering, bass-heavy club rhythms. It successfully dragged Caribbean soundsystem culture into the center of the global EDM boom.
