Sunday Spotlight: Major Lazer

After some line up changes, 3 albums and forming in 2009, Major Lazer have finally hit the big time. Get Free was an indie smash with Amber Coffman and then came Lean On, easily one of the biggest singles of 2015.

Major Lazer is set to release Peace is the Mission on June 1 (already leaked online) and this could be there biggest record to date.

I for one love the ride that Major Lazer has already taken us on, here is a quick look at some of their biggest bangers...

Sunday Spotlight: Hot Chip

If feels strange saying "Over & Over" is 9 (almost 10) years old when your hear Hot Chip's sixth studio album "Why Make Sense" but when you look back these kids from England have been releasing albums for over 11 years.

What better way to spend your Sunday than groove away to some Hot Chip.

Sunday Spotlight: Hermitude

Hailing from Sydney's lovely Blue Mountains, it's Hermitude and what better group to celebrate on my 600th post on Flashing Off the Record. Their new album drops this Friday (15 May) Dark Night Sweet Light featuring their highest charting song to date "The Buzz".

This is their fifth record and the Elefant Traks act is ready to make it's mark on the Australian music scene.

What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than with some real beats from the Mountains.
