Patrick Benjamin chats to the infamous daggerer from the Major Lazer crew who needs no introduction at all.

No sane man can have the manic energy you possess. Any pacts with the devil?
All this is God-given brother. I’m actually a very spiritual person. I pray every day. Read my Bible almost every day. When I am in New York, I go to Church every Sunday. In return, I get the sex-driven energy of 16 Viagra-popping old men!

If you could collaborate with anyone living or dead, who would it be?
Elvis Presley. He is one of my inspirations as not only a musician, but as a person. I love the way he pushed the limits in his time. He took what was unacceptable and turned it into something everybody does. Shout out to Bruce Lee and Wilt Chamberlain, my other heroes too.

Your riddims are simply wicked, what's your secret?
My secret is to have Diplo and Switch make everything, then take all the credit. HA!

What are you gonna drop on us in the near future?
We got tons of stuff dropping under the Major Lazer umbrella. Biggest would be the cartoon currently in development. We’ve got one episode in the bag so far. And we gotta finish 11 more so we could start the season. We are aiming for Spring 2012.

As the chief daggerer of the Major Lazer 'hood, are you gonna go wild in Zirca?
The real question is "how wild could Zirca get?" This will not be a normal DJ set at all. The night is gonna be filled with action, adventure and more daggering than you could fit in a condom. I put on a show. I want the people to go as wild as possible, then go over that. By the end of the night, we gonna be dancing on the celling and throwing up liquor in the garbage cans. This will be a historical event not to be missed!

Daggering pandemonium time with Skerritt Bwoy on September 9 at Zirca.
