Olmeca Tequila's Mad Decent Block Party South Africa

Grammy-nominated founder, owner and head honcho of Mad Decent Records and lead producer of Major Lazer, Diplo has risen through the ranks and asserted himself as one of the most pioneering producers of all time. Major Lazer has toured major music festivals including Coachella, Pitchfork, Sassquatch and Sonar, as well as worked with the likes of Beyonce, La Roux and Hot Chip. As Major Lazer, Diplo also retreated to Jamaica to work on the production of Snoop Dogg 's previous album "Snoop Lion Reincarnated".

Joining the decks in Jozi and Cape Town is 26-year-old Moombahton mastermind Dillon Francis who's made his mark on the global scene with a sexy genre of music he describes as "reggae tone meets Dutch house meets anything you want it to be".
