Watch Major Lazer’s ‘Particula’ Video Feat. DJ Maphorisa, Nasty C, Ice Prince, Patoranking & Jidenna
Major Lazer turns back time in the video for their Afrobeats and dancehall-influenced track, “Particula.” The visual depicts life in Johannesburg in the 1970s.
“Particula,” which appears on Major Lazer’s Know No Better EP, features South African DJ Maphorisa, rapper Nasty C, Nigerian artists Ice Prince and Patoranking, and Nigerian-American artist Jidenna.
South African director Adriaan Louw discussed the idea behind the video in a press release:
“I’ve always wanted to shoot a film like this in Johannesburg. It was creating an ideal world within Joburg that was based in the 70s. I wanted it to feel like we were shooting a documentary of the culture that could have been in a city where disco, funk, Fela Kuti was everywhere.”
Watch the video above and download “Particula” on DJcity.
