More fire! More fire! Airhorn noise! Siren noise!Superstar Philly DJ Diplo has been throwing Jamaican dancehall records down in white-hipster dance clubs since the current idea of white-hipster dance clubs first became a thing, and he even managed to score a guest spot from reggae superstar Vybz Kartel on his otherwise downbeat Florida LP. Still, reggae's always been just one of the weapons in Diplo's DJ crate. But that could be about to change.If Major Lazer, Diplo's dancehall project with fellow M.I.A./Santogold producer Switch, actually gets around to releasing an album, it could be the biggest white-hipster/reggae crossover since Chris Blackwell hired Sly & Robbie as the Compass Point Studio house rhythm section. (Let's all just pretend Matisyahu never existed.)At any given moment, Diplo's juggling about a bazillion different projects, and he tends to update his MySpace blog in a way that makes a 15-year-old with a Blackberry look like Bob Woodward. (Seriously: "YOYOYOYOYO MYSPACE . ITS OUT OF CONTROL OVER HERE. I TOT 12 SONGS MAN I HAD TO FREAKIN GIVE TOM ONE OF MY LIVERS FOR IT BUT ITS WORTH CHECK OUT ALL MY NU CRAZY SONGZ..") But if Diplo's latest blog post is to be believed, this Major Lazer album is going to be nuts.Here's the list of guests Diplo names: ex-girlfriend M.I.A., mixtape collaborator Santogold, missing-too-long R&B cyborg Kelis, breezy Queens hooksmith twins Nina Sky, and a seriously ridiculous list of dancehall mainstays: Busy Signal, T.O.K., Ward 21, Lexxus, Ms. Thing, Dr. Evil, Skerrit Bwoy. Meanwhile, Decent Work for Decent Pay, Diplo's collection of remixes, is out this week on Big Dada/Ninja Tune.
