Like an air raid siren version of the Bat-Signal, the wail of "Pon De Floor" was a call to arms back in 2009: electronic music was awash in progressive house bootlegs and desperately in need of a superhero. That the savior would come in the form of an ass-kicking bionic rasta with a laser gun arm—you'd have to ask Diplo, Jillionaire, Walshy Fire, or Ferry Gouw to find out how Major Lazer became that man, because the rest is legend. Thankfully, as part of FXX’s Animation Domination block on Thursday nights at midnight, that legend comes to life in the form of an animated series about the “Guardian of the Groove" himself. In the exclusive clip above, go behind-the-scenes of Major Lazer with series co-creator and executive producer Diplo and Major Lazer art director, illustrator and designer Ferry Gouw.
