Video: Cajmere, “Percolator (Major Lazer’s Percumajor RMX)”

October 04, 2010


Cajmere's "Percolator" is seen as a precursor/grandfather to Bmore club (the genre), which means basically it's the great granddaddy of every dance music the youth dem lusts for these days. Clearly it had an influence on the music of Diplo if not Switch, so the Major Lazer remix is like a little petri dish of beats, the coffeemaker fertilized in vitro with the dudes' loopy outer space dancehall club. Add a little Ferry Gouw, a little "American Gothic," a little Stephen Hawking, and you got it about right. Props to anyone who remembers how to do the percolator dance in the proper fashion from the olden days. (via Discobelle)
