videos we love :: “pon de floor” major lazer f/ vybz kartel

I don’t even know where to begin on this one… One thing is for sure, I damn sure do love seeing how people visually  interpret music. First time I hear this track I remember thinking “DDDDAAAAMMMMNNN” – - Ideas followed… I think the both Major Lazer + director Eric Wareheim took it to that other other level. Well done…

Major Lazer “Pon De Floor” from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.

File this one under “collaborations we never thought we’d see”—for “Pon De Floor,” the latest single from Diplo and Switch’s dancehall project Major Lazer, the superproducers recruited Eric Wareheim from Adult Swim’s bizarro lo-fi comedy series Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! to direct the video. Set in a trippy, cartoonish suburbia, “Pon De Floor” features a sampling of Jamaica’s controversial, over-the-top “daggering” dance moves. *Cue America’s inevitable freakout when white children start pile driving each other at middle school dances.*
