When the EP was announced in February it was due in April, with Yorke's remix already the last track. Major Lazer are Diplo and the producer Switch, and “Jump Up” first appeared on their 2009 debut album, Guns Don't Kill People, Lazers Do.
Yorke had already shown a liking for the act. At his surprise DJ set at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles last September, people in the room posted that he played Major Lazer.
The EP is two new songs and three remixes. It comes out on Diplo's label, Mad Decent, with Downtown Records and Interscope. M.I.A. and the dancehall singer Busy Signal are on the opener, “Sound of Siren”. The label says the EP was made partly at Tuff Gong studios in Kingston, Jamaica, moving from the debut's dancehall rhythms towards dancehall played on instruments.
