‘Pon de Floor’ – Major Lazer
The track that broke Major Lazer (Diplo and Switch) beyond geeks and blogs, with Queen Bey sampling ‘Pon de Floor’ on ‘Run the World (Girls)’. This sums up Major Lazer smashing and grabbing from here, there and everywhere, and fashioning a brazen, cartoonish anthem from soca drums, gurgling electronic effects and Vybz Kartel – who’s currently serving life for murder – beseeching ladies to hit the dancefloor.
