Moombahton | Moombah Mondays

Summer has been getting the best of me so far, as far as Moombah Mondays are concerned. I have been falling behind so yet again I have to get you guys updated on the Moombah scene. Tittsworth, Rez & Des McMahon newest EP dropped a few days back and after listening to it for a few days it is safe to say it was worth the purchase. All the tracks bring a new aspect to the Moombah game and show a spark of new originality from all these artist brought into all the tracks on the EP.
Whenever there is a release from Dillon Francis coming up I am always excited to see what style he decided to choose. Looks like he is slowly digging back into Moombahton, but with some more hard hitting synths compared to his uplifting ones from his earlier remixes. In other news he also announced another upcoming release in July titled “This Ones 4 Munchi”. Not sure why, but just by the title I am dying to hear what he has mixed together for this one.
Swatdojo nailed this genre combination between Electro and Moombahton. Keeping that heavy Electro bounce with the slowed down BPM, as well the latin percussions. He won me over with this remix and got me listening to this track again, even though there are a million remixes of it.
Milo & Otis have yet to drop the ball as far as releases go. I can’t point out one track they have given away that has disappointed me. Something tells me we are going to be seeing these guys on some tour schedules pretty soon. I love the reggae/island influence on this track alongside the uplifting synth melody; not to mention the heavy bassy drop.
Munchi slowly resurfacing on his social medias these past few weeks and his biggest upload has been this killer, hour long Moombahton mix. Packed with so many exclusives and aggressive remixes, which now explain what he has been doing this whole time. The untitled collaboration with Bro Safari has to be my favorite track on. I haven’t heard anything like it before and I am waiting impatiently to hear about a release for this tune.

Dubstep | R Rated #32
Posted by Mach on June 6, 2012
Alright so for the past few days we have been slacking a little on the dubstep, but fear not because we will make it all up today in R Rated. This isn’t the way Sev and I would have wanted to catch up, but we saw fit for the situation. So we will start off with previews and releases and move towards some of the best free tunes we have seen in weeks. Brainpain getting a preview up on Bass Union of his upcoming release on Ultragore. The best way and only way to describe this track is, monstrous! Holy hell my speakers are experiencing the biggest bass overload right now. Next we have a few previews of upcoming tracks, that can’t be left unexposed. Killsonik just coming off of a successful release of their EP and are already providing an amazing remix for Calvin Harris feat. Examples new tune “We’ll Be Coming Back”. Killed it.
This next producer is one of the most under-looked and under-rated producers in dubstep currently. Flinch is doing big things that nobody knows about and this remix surely falls under that category. Remixing an older release from Buygore by Captain Crunch and Fytch entitled “Raindrops” proving his talent and ingenuity. Can’t wait for this release, which is forthcoming on Buygore if I didn’t mention it already.
This last preview just went up only about an hour ago. AFK and The Frim have collaborated on a VIP mix of a heavy tune that has been smashing the stages for Rusko and many other artist for a while now. Definitely did not see this coming, but The Frim is another underrated producer who is slowly making his way to the top. The tune will be free at 5k likes on AFK’s Facebook page, so get on it. Here is the link to their FACEBOOK.
These next two release I’m sad that I wasn’t able to post, but as long as they get their recognition I will be satisfied. This tune by Caspa has been on my most wanted list ever since it was first previewed at Creamfields last year. It is one of the most disgusting, hard-hitting tunes I have ever heard. Not to undersell this release by Subshock as well, because it is just about in the same league as far as destructiveness and bass goes.
Dubstep, Electro | VoidDS – Gotta Catch ’em All! (Pokemon Electrostep)
Posted by Mach on June 2, 2012
VoidDS dropped a little preview of this banger a few days ago, the response was great enough that it is now available. He uses a lot of the original work to keep that nostalgia around, while also dropping a hefty Electro/Dubstep drop. This remix is fun to listen to, the fact that the drop is sick is just an awesome plus.
Dubstep | The Weeknd – High For This (Ellie Goulding Cover)[PatrickReza Remix]
Posted by Mach on June 1, 2012
Let’s face the fact that Ellie Goulding’s voice sounds incredible with the right dubstep beat. This great cover dropped only a few days ago, but I am honestly surprised it took that look for a remix like this. PatrickReza has done some incredible remixes of great female vocalist such as Julia Stone, Sia, and one of my favorite female vocalists, Lykke Li. He does a great job creating a beat that matches each one of these different voices, and continued that trend with this remix.

Hip-Hop | Kid Rey – Can’t Stop
Posted by J_Salzer on May 12, 2012
I got a submission a few days ago from a person by the name of Kid Rey, I replied to him in the usual fashion. Telling him that I’d listen and get back to him. I quickly forgot about it and didn’t give it a second thought. Rey then hit me up on twitter, and hit up the chat box. Fellow writer Mach told me that I should give it a listen, so I took his word for it. I’m incredibly impressed with this song, the beat(Pretty Lights sample), the hook and both verses delivered by Kid Rey all show flashes of greatness. Especially because this is one of the first songs he’s ever released. Just goes to show you that persistence can take you places, and Rey wanting to be featured on FNT so bad made this song that much better.
Albums, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro-House, Progressive House | Seven Lions — Polarize EP
Posted by Sev on April 25, 2012
Has anyone heard a dissapointing Seven Lions track yet, because I haven’t. This EP has been on repeat for the past day few days since its release and I know Mach is on the same boat. What a great combination of genre’s in one EP and variation of sounds that just keep the listener coming back for more. I can’t get enough of Below Us and also the Dnb Remix by Smooth. Every track on this EP is truley unique and astonishing in its own way. I could go on all day talking about how amazing this tracks are, but I would rather let you guys enjoy them yourselves. You can grab a free track off the EP given away by Viper Recordings by clicking Read On. Grab this EP on Beatport HERE.
House | Archie Ft. Anna Yvette – No Apologies (Preview)
Posted by Mach on April 22, 2012
At this point I’m done waiting for Avicii to release new tracks or previews. I will just check out Archie every few days and chances are he has released something like this or like the other past two tracks he has given out. Archie said at 2,500 likes he would preview another track, so far he is good on his word. He also stated at 3,000 likes he would give it away, talk about a sweet deal. This track speaks for itself, so make sure you visit Archie’s facebook page if you havent already.
