When not on tour or in production with Major Lazer, Walshy Fire originated the concept ‘Future Dancehall’, the touchstone for the 2015 launched Walshy Fire Presents record label with its roots in Jamaica’s sound system culture and extending into other genres including hip-hop. Since 2012 Walshy Fire has toured the world with Major Lazer and has been contributing on the production of the Major Lazer albums “Free The Universe” and “Peace Is The Mission”. Walshy Fire has released dozens of innovative mix compilations, remixes of songs and single-artist mixes for artists like Chronixx, whose “Walshy Fire Presents: Start A Fire” mix-tape has surpassed 1 million plays. This trailblazing Sound System is cited as a significant influence on the evolution of Major Lazer with its ‘mash ups’ that blended hip hop or R&B riddims with vocal tracks of reggae & dancehall artists and its representation of the Jamaican sound system.
