Coachella Artists of the Day: Jan. 28, 2026

Major Lazer

Origin: Los Angeles, California, USA

Genre / Subgenres: Electronic / Dancehall, Moombahton, Reggae fusion

Who knew a couple of white guys would spark a revolution in some of the most impactful dancehall-inspired music of the 21st century? Diplo's borderless project would eventually lose its co-founder, Switch, and super contributor, Jillionaire, but would then eventually pick up Walshy Fire, Ape Drums, and their first-ever in-house vocalist, America Foster.

Major Lazer fully embraces the absurd (their mascot is a futuristic Jamaican war hero with a fucking laser gun for a hand?), has single-handedly internationalized dance music by breaking down barriers, and has explored scenes that EDM wouldn't normally venture into. Just look at who they've collaborated with over the years: Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Marcus Mumford, M.I.A, J Balvin, Vybz Kartel, Alessia Cara, Joji, Ellie Goulding, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Santigold, and Andy Milonakis. That's just a minor dent in the long list of names they've shared studio time with. At one point, Major Lazer and MØ held the title of "Most Streamed Song of All Time" with 2015's "Lean On", a song that truly exploded and still bangs to this day.

Jane Remover

Origin: Newark, New Jersey, USA

Genre / Subgenres: Electronic / Digicore, Hyperpop, Emo, Shoegaze

After coming out as transgender and reinventing themselves in 2022, they switched their stage name from Dltzk to Jane Remover and quickly released a shoegaze/bedroom pop concept album (Census Designated) that earned universal critical acclaim. Not even two years later, Remover released two more albums back-to-back. Ghostholding by Venturing, their solid avant-rock side project, came out in February 2025, and the standout digicore album Revengeseekerz was released two months after that, which popped up on year-end lists for multiple media publications.

No matter the genre, they excel. Revengeseekerz and the choppy digicore theme were actually conceptualized while on tour opening for JPEGMAFIA. They mixed rage-infused beats with video game samples, such as Pokémon Stadium and Guitar Hero. It sounds insane, but that's because it is, but like, in a good way. They eventually caught the attention of modern rock stars Turnstile, who tapped Jane as one of their openers on their 2025 Never Enough Tour after they wrapped up a headlining tour of their own.
