Pop DJ group Major Lazer have unveiled their latest single, a studio release of the fan-favorite track “Rotate.” The track, which has become a frequent part of pop-up performances and festival sets, is a collaborative track between “Lazer First Lady” America Foster as well as other frequent collaborators, Jamaican superstars BEAM and Skillibeng. The version of the track arrives alongside a dance video starring the Lazer Gyals, the group’s live dancers. The video can be found below.

Starting with high-tech visuals and immediate chanting, the track opens with energy. The video features unique usage of lighting with the dancers performing with flashlights in hand, their moves choreographed by original Lazer Gyal Sara Bivens and Calvit Hodge, both longtime collaborators. The track also features a sample of the track “Work” by Puppah Nas-T and Denise Belfon, which has been a frequent subject of sampling and remixing by countless artists before. “Me and America made this the very first time we ever met up at my house in Jamaica and we knew then we had something special,” Diplo said of the new track. “It’s taken on a life of its own since then. Every time I’ve played this song people go totally crazy whether we’re in Paris, Mexico City or Seoul. I’m so stoked it’s out today.”

Major Lazer is currently on the road, with the release of “Rotate” coinciding with their performance yesterday at Lollapalooza on July 31st. The group is set to perform again at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival tomorrow with other performances across August and in September and October.
