(21 Sep 2019) BOOED LIKE A FOOTBALLER - DIPLO'S MAJOR LAZER RECALL TIMES AUDIENCES HAVE HATED SHOWS, AS THEY HELP LAUNCH FIFA 20 GAME
Major Lazer can relate to soccer players who get booed on the field.  As the trio helped launched soccer video game FIFA 20 in London, Wednesday (18 SEPT. 2019), Diplo and Walshy Fire both admitted to getting less than pleasing audience reactions in their day.
"I've been booed before," said Walshy Fire.
"Hell yeah, we get booed all the time," added Diplo.
We got booed one time really wickedly in Argentina," continued Walshy Fire, "and I think they threw like little plastic bottles at us."
"We've been doing this for a while," explained Diplo. "We didn't start out on top of the game like we are now. We started out pretty rough and rugged."
These days, partying with soccer players is more the norm for the superstar record producer. Including Zlatan Ibrahimovic earlier this month, Diplo said.
"Yeah, he was there, maybe I shouldn't say that, but he was definitely there, in the booth," Diplo confirmed, "we were having a big little party in the booth."
Vegas - where Major Lazer have a resident DJ billing - is popular with soccer's busy finest, Diplo continues.
"They always seem to make it to Vegas. I don't know why it is, but they all seem to, I see all the players, they all come to Vegas to hang out," he says. "Or Ibitha. Yeah. They find time."
The trio, which also includes Ape Drums, are behind song "Que Calor," which leads the soundtrack for EA Sports FIFA game's new Volta Football mode, a nod to street and playground soccer.
"'Que Calor' is a mix of Brazilian rhythms, reggaeton and house music which I feel like as a quintessential rhythm for what you do in FIFA and internationally," explained Diplo.
FIFA 20 includes two separate soundtracks, 70 tracks for the Volta Football mode, and 43 for the FIFA 20 soundtrack.
Diplo - who produced Nicky Jam's 2018 FIFA World Cup Song, "Live It Up," featuring Will Smith and Era Istrefi - says he is open to working on another world cup song.
"We're down, soccer music," he said. "Hit us up."
