    Diplo has revealed that Major Lazer's second album will include a star-studded line-up of guest collaborations.

    The producer told Interview magazine that the group, which also features Switch, were half-way through the record.

    As well as well-known guests, the follow-up to 2009's 'Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do' will also include danehall acts.

    “It's a pretty random selection, top-form dancehall guests; Vybz Kartel, Bugle, Timberlee,” Diplo said. “Also, Vampire Weekend, Lykke Li, and Santigold. Then we have some classic fellas like Lee Perry and Junior Murvin.

    He added: “It's like reggae is the vehicle, but we really live in this Major Lazer post-apocalypse world where all these artists don't seem strange together.”

    Major Lazer are set to release the as-yet-untitled album in 2011.
