It's always pretty exciting when a production team decides to step out from behind the mixing board and flex their artistic muscle under their own name. Whether it's N.E.R.D. or, more recently, Far East Movement, the results are typically both surprising and expertly produced.
Which brings us to The Midi Mafia. After crafting hits for Justin Bieber, 50 Cent and Jennifer Lopez, this duo, made up of Brooklyn-born Bruce Waynne and Canadian Dirty Swift, has struck out on their own, releasing their debut EP, Vegas Lights.
Like their production work, Vegas Lights leans heavy on party-starting anthems. But, in a sign of changing with the times, Midi Mafia's evolved past their R&B-heavy past work, instead crafting a grip of thunderous dance-pop tracks.
While Vegas Lights tracks like "Blinded By The Lights" and "Phamous" will certainly make any wallflower blossom into a party animal, Midi Mafia's hottest track is "Lucky," featuring Internet sensation Dave Days, and it's a club banger that will be featured on tonight's episode of "Jersey Shore."
Listen to Midi Mafia's dance track, "Lucky" below, plus check out their "Phamous" video featuring "Fantasy Factory"'s Chanel and their "2 Piece (So Cosmo)" video. And be sure to listen for "Lucky" on tonight's episode of "Jersey Shore." Vegas Lights is out now.
