 Episode 363: WALSHY FIRE “Inside Major Lazor, Black Chiney, and ‘The Art Of Dancehall’” This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew sits down with @WalshyFire — DJ, producer, and member of @MajorLazer — to talk Dancehall, Soca, and the art of building culture. At 01:34, Walshy recalls meeting @DJMoma and why Soca faced resistance in the '80s–’90s. By 05:10, he’s breaking down the pushback against Soca and Afro Beats, and Soca’s joyful contrast to other genres. He dives into NYC’s gang culture and block party memories (07:10), including a near brawl at a LOX performance diffused by dancers (10:12). The crew swaps stories on “banned” songs in late ’90s NYC and venue violence, with jokes about the Queens vs. Brooklyn rivalry (11:33). Walshy shares his path from Clark University and a jazz radio station to NYC and Beat Street Records (14:55), then joining Black Chiney Sound after a career-making gig (28:45). He reflects on classic riddim productions, lessons from Sean Paul, and supporting both grassroots parties and major festivals (46:01). The crew debates the state of Dancehall today (53:55). They discuss the struggle to find venues for independent parties (1:01:01) and positive changes in club culture (1:02:25). At 1:05:33, Walshy recounts going viral for declining a request, leading to a larger talk on post-pandemic etiquette and handling entitled guests (1:13:50). He closes with his new book Art of Dancehall, life in Major Lazer, and upcoming releases (1:23:01).
