As if we haven't talked enough about Major Lazer around here lately, the dudes are back with an Essential mix for BBC Radio 1 that features a lot of music they were probably jamming when making their album, which for Switch was apparently the sort of reggae-influenced "All That She Wants" by Ace of Base, a live staple from Major Lazer's shows, and for Diplo, some Black Eyed Peas. And a bunch of other really good stuff.
