Eventually they're whisked back to the restaurant, but Diplo isn't ready to call it a night quite yet. He tells the dancers it's time to rehearse for the next night's 'IHeartRadio' show in Las Vegas. The pop radio event showcases the biggest names on radio over the past year, and Major Lazer have justifiably thrust themselves onto the line-up. The rest of the team trickle back to the hotel, but Diplo remains, giving instructions, even participating in the dance moves to ensure that everyone is on the same wavelength.

"We branded ourselves as a cartoon and I really thought that would work, but what people have really connected to is seeing the three of us in the 'Lean On' video," he says. "I thought I knew one thing, but I didn't, so it's a continuous learning process. In a weird way, this feels like just the beginning."
