Major Lazer's 'Light it Up' remix gets a rework
Newcomer Blinkie takes it big and bassy
Single 'Light It Up' from Major Lazer's third LP 'Peace Is The Mission' was released on Diplo's Mad Decent label May last year. With collabs from Ellie Goulding, Ariana Grande and Travi$ Scott plus the enormous 'Lean On', which is currently the most streamed song on Spotify of all time, you could say the album did quite well.
It originally received the remix treatment from Nyla and Fuse ODG before that was itself remixed by Botswana born, South London raised Blinkie. New on the scene, little is known about Blinkie but with a remix for the likes of Major Lazer under his belt, and a release on Ultra Records, i'm sure we'll be hearing his name a lot more in the future.

This remix keeps the distinctive dancehall sound Major Lazer are known for but gives it a dark, UK bass-house twist. Set for release this year on Because. More info here: http://on.fb.me/22Xcby1
