Major Lazer is officially in the middle of their most aggressive global touring cycle in over seven years, and they’ve just dropped the ultimate soundtrack for it. Teased for months across massive festival stages, the dancehall-infused electronic powerhouse has finally released ‘pAPi wiTH tOKisCHa‘, a scorching collaboration with Dominican dembow firebrand Tokischa.
Clocking in at an incredibly lean, hyper-energetic 2 minutes and 42 seconds, the track serves as a heavy-hitting reminder of Major Lazer’s unmatched ability to bridge underground global sounds with mainstage electronic music.
From Secret Miami Lots to Coachella Mainstage
Before its official drop, the track had already taken on mythical status within the dance community. Diplo and the crew first test-drove the syncopated, heavy-bass production during an ultra-exclusive pop-up event in Miami, performing in an abandoned lot for just 200 lucky fans.
From there, the record exploded. Tokischa famously joined Major Lazer on stage at Ultra Music Festival Miami, followed by a massive, surprise appearance during their Coachella set, performing in front of a staggering 80,000 ravers in the California desert.
The official music video, directed by Cambron Lyles and Alex Ferzan, captures this exact raw, live energy. Filmed between the dust of the California desert during Coachella and the sweaty confines of E11even Miami, the visual perfectly matches Tokischa’s serrated, unapologetic vocal delivery.
