March 4, 201610 yr Tinie Tempah debuting top 15 :cheer: Wasn't expecting such instant success for an OA/OS single from him when all his previous #1s had relied on being held back.

The two parted ways in late 2011. Diplo has since enlisted producers/DJs Jillionaire and Walshy Fire (of Black Chiney) to help with the production and live shows. Their music spans numerous genres, usually fusing reggae and dancehall music with dance genres such as moombahton and electro house. Major Lazer have released two full length albums – Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do and Free the Universe, released in 2009 and 2013 respectively. They released an EP entitled Apocalypse Soon in March 2014, which featured vocal contributions from Pharrell Williams and Sean Paul. Major Lazer also produced Reincarnated, the debut reggae album by Snoop Dogg under his Snoop Lion persona. - Wikipedia Chart history - Top 100 (Year peak title): Major Lazer 2012 56 Get Free (Major Lazer Feat.

March 4, 201610 yr I always forget this exists. Hell, it took me a good minute+ to realise what was being played. It's decent enough but ridiculously forgettable.

His appearances in the city and subsequent networking spawned the Switch record label, whose releases eventually made the record bag of Manchester hip-hop patriarch Mark Rae, who subsequently offered Smithson a job at his Fat City record shop in Manchester and an outlet for his solo material as Riton (a diminutive of "Henri," the French form of Smithson's first name) on Rae's accomplished Grand Central imprint. Although at first glance the brew of soul, R&B, and house of the resultant debut long-player Beats du Jour in 2001 seemed some distance from his contemporaries at the label, Smithson's consistently growling low end and Funkadelic keys provided the all-important link to hip-hop. His 2004 follow-up, Homies and Homos, also on Grand Central, veered slightly off the path beaten by his debut and instead drew inspiration from the then-prevalent electro funk acts, and featured a cover of the Cure's Camus-inspired single "Killing an Arab." Riton's second career as a reputable remixer was well-established by this point, after working with Scissor Sisters, the Human League, and Soulwax, amongst many others. He continued to put out remixes throughout the noughties, most notably for M.I.A. and Chromeo, but it wasn't until 2011 that he found the time to put out some solo material under the Riton moniker once again, now on his new label Riton Time. The coincidentally titled "Dark Place"/"A.C.P." was released shortly after the tragic and sudden death of his Carte Blanche partner DJ Mehdi, with whom Riton had produced one of the biggest-selling releases on Ed Banger, Carte Blanche's "Gare du Nord." Riton understandably kept a reasonably low profile in the year following the accident, until he reemerged in 2013 with the four-track EP Lost My Mind, a track from which boasted a cameo from French electroclash stalwart Miss Kittin. Another EP, still with the Ed Banger label, was to follow -- 2014's Bad Guy RiRi, a release that further cemented the marriage of Riton's funk and soul sensibilities with the Ed Banger label's muscular French house sound so heavily associated with popular mid-2000s electro acts like Mr. Oizo and Justice. Meanwhile, in late 2015, another of Smithson's collaborative projects, Die Verboten, released the confusingly titled LP 2007, so-called because of when the material was recorded (and subsequently shelved for the next eight years). The group, which consisted of Riton alongside 2ManyDJs brothers David and Stephen Dewaele and designer Fergus "Fergadelic" Purcell, aptly described the record's early Kraftwerk-inspired cosmic jams as space rock, due to the live drums, bass, and synths having played such a prominent part in the music. At that time, this project seemed to have deeply influenced Riton, as his alternative alias Eine Kleine Nacht Musik surfaced in 2008 with a heavily Krautrock-infused self-titled album. Riton's in-demand remixing and producing work continued to flow -- his 2015 co-production on Mark Ronson's Daffodils, featuring Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, is one such notable example -- as well as touring with Ronson on the 2014 Back to Back tour. The 2016 release of his own tech-house banger Rinse & Repeat, which featured New York vocalist Kah-Lo, was extremely well received, garnering widespread airplay and the number one spot on the BBC Radio 1 dance chart for several weeks. - iTunes Chart history - Top 100 (Year peak title): Riton 2016 13 Rinse & Repeat (Riton Feat.

March 4, 201610 yr Rinse & Repeat is awwwwful, such a shame it's debuted higher than the two OA/OS new entries this week too with its held-back strategy.
