Set for release on June 1, the new set will be the first in a series of albums to come from the project over the next year. Peace is the Mission boasts a bevy of marquee collaborators, including the likes of Ariana Grande, Ellie Goulding, 2 Chainz, and Pusha T.

Earlier this year, the trio joined French producer DJ Snake and Danish singer MØ in jetting off to India to film the video for their collaborative single “Lean On.”

“India is special and its beauty absolutely humbled me,” says Diplo. “When we toured there as Major Lazer, it was mind blowing to see our fan-base and we wanted to incorporate the attitude and positive vibes into our video and just do something that embodies the essence of Major Lazer.”

Major Lazer also announced that FX Networks would debut their cartoon series on April 16 for its Animation Domination programming, featuring guest appearances from the likes of Aziz Ansari, Andy Samberg, Tiësto, RiFF RAFF, Charli XCX, Ezra Koenig, Trinidad James and more.
