Moombahton | Moombah Mondays (Trap Edition)
Posted by Sev on May 14, 2012
Moomba Blasta has been on point with their Trap uploads lately, and they have won me over. Honestly I cannot get enough of Trap-style after roaming through their youtube channel so I decided this weeks Moombah Mondays is going to be dedicated to Trap-style tracks. Starting off with the above track; wow do I love those vocals. The quick drums and snares accompanied by that heavy bass kick are bound to get the job done for any crowd. Whether you like it or not Flosstradamus, being one of the big names in Trap, is having their tracks played out by all the big names; Diplo, Flux Pavillion, Dillon Francis just to name a few. Just to help broaden your views on the genre I have two tracks from Flosstradamus on this weeks Trap-style Mondays. One is an old track that I just fell in love with again after hearing it being freestyled over by Papoose on Sway In The Morning, 5 Fingers of Death Freestyles. The newer one entitled Look At The Sky, gives you a taste of some hip-hop infused Trap music. Both bringing some extreme boundaries together into one amazing genre that is still growing.
This next one is a secret weapon of Luminox’s that he was kind enough to give away. I never new the famous Bingo Players track Rattle would ever be pushed to these bounds, but this is one of my favorite remixes to the track. The prolonged bass kick, fits perfectly with this melody and the reversal of the melody on the second drop worked out phenomenally.
Another truly remarkable and unique interpretation of a big dubstep track. Doctor P decided to put his single Neon up for a remix competition and so far most artist have decide to just try their hand at it, but end up giving away their remixes. This one I was happy to have from CRNKN, because it is so organized and well constructed. Nothing feels forced or out of place like I have heard with other tracks. I would love to see this sort of track being played more by big EDM artist to help expand these smaller genres.

Moombahton | The Very Best — Yoshua Aikuti (Nadastrom Remix) // Nadastrom “Moombahton Massive” EP
Posted by Spice on May 10, 2012
Nadastrom. My dudes. Moombahton has come an incredibly long way in the past three years, but had Dave Nada not hopped on the decks at that fated house party in 2009 we wouldn’t be talking right now. We love our moombahton here at FNT, so it seems only fitting now to take a moment to check in with the genre’s originators — who have big things in store for us in 2012.
To say that Dave Nada and Will Nordstrom have been busy lately would be an understatement. Their Moombahton Massive brainchild — a wild local dance party that has blown up venues in Miami, Austin, and Chicago — has officially gone international. They just kicked off a North American tour. Their record label, Diabluma Sound, is set to launch on May 22. And on top of all of this, they’re still hard at work. They recently dropped a compilation “Moombahton Massive” EP on Scion A/V in conjunction with some well-worn names (Sabo, Steve Starks, and JWLS), which highlights the genre’s funky, sexy, global roots. The EP is free (!!) and you can preview and download it here. They also just released a feel-good yet positively haunting remix of The Very Best’s “Yoshua Aikuti,” a catchy-as-hell song we suggested could be poised for a global takeover when the video dropped back in April. Nadastrom’s treatment is subtle, chilled out, and a wonderful showcase for Esau Mwamwaya’s soaring vocals. Want to inject some new flavor into your iTunes rotation? This is just the stuff.
Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro-House, Moombahton | Bare & Datsik – The King Kong Experiment (Remixes + Official Video)
Posted by Mach on May 8, 2012
Basically reflecting all the things we wish we could get away with in public while wearing a Gorilla suit, this video is hilarious. I would have preferred to see Bare wear the suit though, he would have made a better King Kong. Bass Union (Subhuman) has really taken things up a notch.
Bare has been teasing these remixes for a few months now, and I am happy to finally get my hands on them. I am usually not one to rave Moombahton, but the Billy The Gent & Long Jawns remix really gets me moving. The Neon Steve remix is another that caught my eye, I love the flow of the break beat and the added vocals. Of course when you see that Bare did a VIP, you know it is going to be dirty as hell. Bare didn’t disappoint, his VIP turned out to be filthier than anticipated. Now the remixes are great and all, but in my opinion Terravita absolutely destroyed. One of the nastiest remixes of a track I have heard to date. I love the little slow break he takes with the drop in the middle, only to stop and satisfy you ears need for that nasty drumstep finish.
Moombahton | BTSM – Rhythm Mode (Milo & Otis Remix)
Posted by Sev on May 1, 2012
I always love opening my Gmail inbox in the mornings and seeing a new release from Milo & Otis in there. I know to expect some funky Moombah/100bpm banger to just be waiting to bump on my speakers. These dudes have been giving away free tracks for over a month now and it was about time they got a release on Beatport. This is such a dope remix of Black Tiger Sex Machine’s track that I cant stop listening to it over and over again. The build up and progressions in this track are fantastic; not to mention the laser synth drop. Grab this track on Beatport HERE.
Moombahton | Moombah Mondays

Decided it was time to bring the Moombah Monday girls back, enough of the videos. First up we have something from one of the best in producing Moombahton. His production quality is second to none when it comes to this genre as we saw in his massive collab with Heartbreak entitled PIMPIN. Glad to see JWLS dropping some new material and you can DL the track through SCION AV provided on his Soundcloud.
Diplo being the boss he is, dropped another freebie for the fans through Major Lazer. Looks like Moombahton finally got to him, because this is about the third time we have seen his name on a Moombah production in the past month. He has also been incorporating Moombahton remixes more, and more into his sets. Either way, pretty dope collaboration with ETC!ETC! including a little island feel that Diplo always brings to the table.
You know you want to…….
Electro-House, Moombahton | D!RTY AUD!O and Milo & Otis
Posted by Sev on April 27, 2012
Two late night bangers to kick start the weekend for most people. First up is D!RTY AUD!O bringing us something out of the ordinary Moombah banger we usually see from him. A new exotic Afrojack styled Electro-House collaboration track with Nicolas Strand that is sure to get the crowds dancing. Endless amounts of undiscovered talent out there and you can add Milo & Otis to that list. Sampling off of Justice in their latest up-beat, Moombahton styled original mix that is just asking to be rinsed out during this festival season. These guys are oozing out tracks every week like it is second nature to them. Keep up with both of these artist by liking their facebook pages provided below.
Electro-House, Moombahton | Alvin Risk — Infinity EP
Posted by Sev on April 25, 2012
This new Alvin Risk EP contained a different side of Alvin we haven’t ever seen. I was sort of disappointed with this EP, not because he chose to do something different, but just because of the fact that some of the songs didn’t contain that appleaing Alvin Risk signature style that that fans have grown to love. I will admit though, I was a little disheartened when the we first got the EP track listing that his collaborations with Skrillex weren’t included. I should have seen if coming though being it does have Skrillex’s name on the track and all. With that being said, two out of the four tracks on here are pretty dope tracks. Survival has some of the most intricate combinations of laser synth sounds, alongside Sirah’s vocals. Same thing with Psychotic; bringing some crazy synth sounds along with an up-beat tempo. Infinity and Pray lacked the Alvin Risk esque style, which is why I wasn’t a fan of the tracks, nevertheless give each track a chance. You can grab the EP on Beatport HERE.
Moombahton | Moombah Mondays
Posted by Sev on April 23, 2012
So many new sick genre’s emerging out of no where. Trapstyle tracks are slowly becoming a crowd favorite and although there is no exact home for Trap style tracks here yet, I felt they best fit in the Moombah family just bumped up a notch. Be on the lookout for Flosstradamus if you haven’t been already, because these guys are destroying all things in their path. Big ups to them, and you can DL the track in the video description above. Another duo quickly growing in Moombah, gLAdiators, with this dope remix releasing soon.
Adding Vaski now to the list of artist producing Moombahton. When I heard this track I was quickly reminded of Helicopter Showdowns – Dramatron VIP. Nevertheless, great track overall from him.
Aylen is back at it again with his popish, electro, trance Moombahton. Obviously he doesn’t like to restrict himself to one mindset, which is clearly working for him and giving signs of new life to Moombahton. The only problem is I can’t put up a preview because he is having Soundcloud copyright issues so you have to click the link below to listen to track. The download link is provided on Soundcloud as well.
