Moombahton | Luminox – Haters
Posted by Mach on June 11, 2012
I am traveling around Europe currently and I couldn’t help but notice the obsession with Star Wars. I have never seen so many Vaders and Stormtroopers casually walking the streets. I thought the picture was well suited for this track titled ‘Haters,’ because they are going to hate no matter if you’re wearing a Deutschland jersey or a Stormtrooper outfit through Italy. Usually I leave the Moombah to Sev, but in the first 30 seconds of this track I fell in love. Time to bust out Deathstar style.

Moombahton | Tupac – California Love (Rico Tubbs Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 8, 2012
Rico Tubbs showing his California love on this sick remix. This is a fun remix to listen to as well as partying to. The vocals are kept in their classy Tupac fashion, just sped up a bit. I may be in the far East right now, but I can still enjoy a little love from the West coast. It’s Friday, it’s time to party.
Moombahton | Knife Party – Centipede (:DFace 108-140 Moombahton Edit)
Posted by Spice on June 7, 2012
There’s not really much that needs to be said about this edit — DFace hits it out of the park, out of the county, and squarely into Rage Valley territory. If you are someone who takes pleasure in the deranged filthstorm that is Knife Party’s “Centipede,” you will probably really enjoy what happens when those crazy wobbles are brought down to 108 bpm. Enough said. Go download it. Right now.

Moombahton | Moombah Mondays
Posted by Sev on June 5, 2012
What is happening to the quality of free released Moombahton these days? I used to be overloaded with the amount Moombah that was around just a few months ago, but it looks like all of sudden Trap has become the new Moombah. Either way I will do my best to filter out what is left of the good Moombahton and Moombahcore. First up is a heavier than usual Moombahcore original from SubVibe and Muzik’s Last Chance. Not usually what I would go for on Moombah Mondays, but this is what has been hot the past few days as far as Moombah for me.
Although this next one is a Mashup, it is from an artist I can always count on when it comes to Moombahton bangers. A nice little funky fusion of Anger Dimmas and Diplo X Vato Gonzalez to get the job done on this uneventful Monday.
This last one is also something different from this artist. We usually see HULK dropping some of the heaviest, hardcore dubstep out there, but today they decided to give away this funky Moombah remix to a Kavinsky track. Still keeping some of their trademark heavy sounds throughout this remix, they were able to funk it down to 110 bpm and keep a little bit of Kavinsky in there as well.
Dubstep, Moombahton | D!RTY AUD!O – Diamond Swagga
Posted by Sev on May 28, 2012
These past few days have felt like a musical Christmas. It has just been monster release, after monster release, after monster release. We are still trying to cut through all this music, but it has been hard with so many good tracks to distract you through the process. Being a big fan of both of these artist and avid supporters of them, D!RTY AUD!O is slowly making himself more known to the EDM scene. Getting a big release through Heavy Artillery records accompanied by a remix from Phrenik as well, what more could you want from an EP? This original Moombahton track brings a new “Swagga” to the genre if I may say. This popping laser sounding synth that D!RTY AUD!O likes to incorporate, makes it difficult not to enjoy this track. Not to mention, Phrenik bringing a heavy hitting dubstep remix that is sure to punch a hole through your face (metiphorically speaking). The best part is both artist change up their seconds drops making the tracks even more interesting to listen to. Grab both of these tracks on Beatport HERE
Dubstep, Electro-House, Moombahton, Review | Knife Party – Rage Valley EP
Posted by Mach on May 27, 2012
Knife Party’s long anticipated ‘Rage Valley’ EP has finally released, despite the leak a few days back. For those of you that havent the chance to listen to ‘Rage Valley’ in its entirety, it is about time you do so. Kicking off this sick EP is the title track ‘Rage Valley.’ Dirty Electro-House, this track is rage, the initial build up to the drop is immense. Building similar to ‘Internet Friends,’ but without the slightly annoying iPhone ringer and dropping like a Unicorn on Bear steroids. The next track is my favorite for sure, ‘Centipede’ has been played in Knife Party’s live sets for over a year now. It is exactly what dubstep fans love to hear. I love how the intro mentions how the Centipede is basically better than the Tarantula, for those of you that don’t know Knife Party’s other allias, Pendulum, has a track named ‘Tarantula.’ The track is filthy, portrating the power and deadliness that a Centipede has. ‘Bonfire’ I fell in love with instantly, Sev and I have been all over the Reggae vibed Dubstep tracks recently. Even if it is just the vocals, this track hit a sweet spot for us. The last track ‘Sleaze’ I did not know much about before listening. Knife Party couldn’t have ended this epic EP in a better way, ‘Sleaze’ is one of the few Moombahton tracks that I listen to and it wreaks house. This track is the definition of an all night rager, in a live setting I’m sure all of these track destroy the dance floor. The ‘Rage Valley’ EP is what its name says, a rager waiting to happen.
Moombahton | Trap Stars: Baauer and Bird Peterson
Posted by Spice on May 25, 2012
As the subject would suggest, this isn’t really moombahton; it’s trap. Did we say or did we say it? Trap-influenced dance music is about to take over as the next big urban sound and you might as well be early to the party. So without further adieu, let’s dig into these tracks.
First up we’ve got Baauer. Baauer is an up and comer out of Brooklyn with a diverse array of hip hop remixes under his belt and an obvious flair for funk. Perhaps it was therefore inevitable that he’d eventually catch Diplo’s eye. I’m digging the bouncy booty bass vibe in “Harlem Shake,” a track which has already seen major airtime on BBC Radio 1’s “Diplo and Friends” show and which seems perfectly suited to the beautiful weather we’re seeing here on the east coast (#THREEDAYWEEKEND). And how about those tropical marimba tones in “Yaow!”? Bottom line, both of these songs were built to light a fire on a packed dance floor.
Rounding it out this week is Bird Peterson, whose chill, hypnotic reboot of M83’s “Steve McQueen” brings a slightly different vibe than the two songs above. In fact, I’d go as far as to call this song haunting. This is a good one for humid, sticky summer nights in someone’s backyard.
