    If you're a big fan of Major Lazer and their 'Apocalypse Soon' EP you should check out some of these similar artists, featuring A-Trak, Duck Sauce and Crookers.

    1. Diplo

      1. Diplo

      Lets start with the co-creator and lead member of the electronic dancehall music project that is 'Major Lazer' - Diplo - who has an impressive solo record too. His singles 'Biggie Bounce,' 'Crown' and his recent remix of Beyonce's 'Drunk In Love' are just some of Diplo's best.

    2. Steve Aoki

      2. Steve Aoki

      American Electro House DJ Steve Aoki (known as much for his cake-throwing and crowd-surfing stunts as he is his music) recently hooked up with Diplo and Deorro for new track 'Freak' and has also worked with the likes of Afrojack and Laidback Luke, as well as releasing many solo endeavours. Notable songs are 'Bonelss' and 'Turbulence.'

    3. DJ Snake

      3. DJ Snake

      DJ Snake's had a crazy few years, the Grammy-nominated producer went worldwide with his 2013 singles 'Bird Machine' and 'Turn Down For What.' The former was picked up by Diplo's label 'Mad Decent,' the latter was certified gold last month after enjoying time in the top 5 of the dance/electronic chart. Notable remixes are Kanye West's 'New Slaves,' AlunaGeorge’s 'You Know You Like It,' Duck Sauce's 'It's You' and Major Lazer's 'Bubble Butt'. Picture: Facebook

    4. Baauer

      4. Baauer

      He might be best known for 2012 viral sensation song 'Harlem Shale' but American trap and bass producer Baauer has been in the game since age 13 and produced some sick remixes for everyone from Nero to The Prodigy to No Doubt. We'll be keeping an eye out to see if Baauer has anything big to offer in 2014.

    5. Crookers

      5. Crookers

      Since going solo Crookers aka Francesco 'Phra' Barbaglia is just as worthy. You might recognise the song he produced 'Ghetto Guetta,' or listen out for new single 'Heavy' which is also self-produced. Majo Lazer lovers, listen to the Crookers remix of Major Lazer's 'Original Don.'

    6. Dillon Francis

      6. Dillon Francis

      Dilion Francis rose to fame after catching Diplo's attention and has supported Nero, Flux PAvillion and Knife Party - so his sound is one you can bet on enjoying if you're a Major Lazer fan. With eight albums released in just four years and countless remixes under his belt there's plenty of material to get you going.

    7. A-Trak

      7. A-Trak

      Canadian DJ A-Trak has been in the game since he was just 15 years old and got a big break when he was recruited personally by Kanye West to be his tour DJ back in 2004.
