Viva El Cuco Recordings!! For El Cuco's ninth release they bring you their good friend PROPER VILLAINS with two moombahton smashers. "Rock the Horns" stays true to the original big room Moombahton while the collaboration with Rex Riot on "Vaporize" brings it home with the Moombahcore. In Proper Villains' own words, "Rock the Horns" is "...kind of like if Crookers, Dillon Francis & 2 Chainz got into a knife fight in the ball pit at Chuck E Cheese." The artist says of "Vaporize": "...some weird, future moombahcore transformers having sex with illegal Russian laser music." These [...]
Yo yo yo. We're in mid-March which means the countdown to this years Winter Music Conference is becoming intense. With just another few days before shit hits the fan, all DJ's, producers, labels and even party goers are getting prepped and stepping their game up. I'm not going to be too wordy with this post because I have my own game to continue to step up, so here's some music for you to listen to. Hopefully I'll see you on the streets and on the dancefloor sometime in the coming weeks! I originally had a Mos [...]
I've been following the Moombahton movement at a distance for a while. Unfortunately, I find it quite an awkward genre because I truly don't think that many producers can actually pull it off. Dillon Francis can, look at him. Dave Nada of course goes without saying, Jon Kwest has managed to chuck out a couple of pearlers as well and Munchi is becoming a global name. Producers and DJs @picksterone and @azdjmelo though, well, they're in [...]
What's good moombah fans. This edition is the 11th of Moombahwhat. As we approach what is essentially Christmas to dance music fanatics, people from across the world are gearing up for Miami Music Week . MMW is the "fancy" way of saying Miami Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival with just a small mouth full of words. We're not waiting for MMW though - as indicated by this coming Thursday's Moombahton Over Miami . The Thursday downtown Miami staple party known as (((SHAKE))) presents the 5th installment [...]

I will be releasing a slew of remixes of classic dancehall, drumnbass and dubstep tunes in the coming weeks, so be sure to follow me on SoundCloud , Twitter and like me on Facebook to get the goods.

Fidel & Castro got sent back to Guantanamo Bay. I will be your guide to the world of Moombahton. Picture an anxious Dave Nada just about to step behind the decks of a lil cuzz’s basement house party in the suburbs of summer DC. It’s a school day, but the kids are out and a handful of brews have them wasted as fuck wildin’ out to dead reggaeton beats. But Dave, 1 half of Nadastrom, plays house. A genre opposite in the bpm spectrum, with a whole different groove and attitude. [...]
Hello party people, I hope you're all doing well. The seasons have started changing here in Miami, which really means it's not hot as fuck all the time any more. With the changing of the weather also comes my changing of age; this week I celebrate my birthday and my friends at The Vagabond / (((SHAKE))) were awesome enough to let me throw a shindig in their back patio area! Sharing the line up with me are my drum and bass family Methodus , AlphaXero , Sopheye and Disidente [...]
Pickster presents The Rise Of Moombahton Compilation by El Cuco Recordings Download the compilation - http://www.mediafire.com/?vpr0 4c4crzawbld
LA based Bro Safari has been causing some mayhem lately and now teams up with drum & bass pioneer UFO! to bring us a solid 4 track EP titled Future Primitive . Filled with big slaps and a lot of bass, Future Primitive EP has definitely earned its spot in my music library. In a genre where there's a relatively large amount of similar sounding tunes, Bro Safari & UFO! takes on a completely different approach and lives up to their properly titled EP. This is the first release by newly founded label El Cuco [...]

A couple of Thursdays ago, at what has become home for many of us Miami bass lovers, the Vagabond held Moombahton Over Miami, packing people into the outside of the club, inciting massive amounts of hip shaking, booty gyrating and introducing a lot of new ears to the sounds of moombahton. Smile For Camera was there snapping photos, here's some of what we saw! You can see the rest here . I recorded my set during Moombahton Over Miami, which includes some edits [...]
As 2011 rolls on, the hype of moombahton is multiplying at an explosive rate. The genre and its psuedo-sub-genres moombahsoul and moombahcore continue to take their own form and producers across the globe are having a go, creating some of the most fun and fresh music since house music erupted in the early 19902s. Another factor in this moombaquation are online radio stations, such as Moomba+ , that are giving DJ's and producers a chance to connect directly with their potential global audience with line ups often featuring talent spanning various continents. Moombahton is a true global music phenomenon. [...]
![AZ GUNSLINGAZ EP [FREE!]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3732984_lg.jpg)
A day after featuring El Cuco Recordings, we had to once again. Lurking between the sharp thorns of a cactus plant and 300 feet high clouds of dust in a sandstorm lies the AZ Gunslingaz. A group of young Moombahtonistas from Phoenix Arizona. In an effort to put a southwest stamp on the fast rising Moombahton Scene, DJ/Producer Pickster compiled an EP of edgy and contemporary Moombahton/Moombacore tunes from DJ Melo, Mendez, Sluggo, Riot Earp, and himself. Each producer brings their own Arizona vibe and style to the table, DJ Melo with his latin percussion bass, Mendez and Sluggo [...]
If you haven’t heard of moombahton yet, you must have been living under a rock for the past year and haven’t been reading our previous “moombahwat” articles! This magical 108bpm genre has been blowing up all over the world and gaining exposure very rapidly due to the whole DIY punk rock mindset that the major moombahtonistas of this genre are representing. Moombahton has already created various sub genres such as moombahcore, moombahjazz and moombahsoul, the sexiest one of them all, Moombahsoul. It is straight up baby making music.; the kind of music you play when you’re about to lay some [...]

What it do internets, this is ya boy JohnG aka somejerk from Miami , once again bringing you, our beloved reader, hand picked, tried and tested quality moombahton, moombahcore, moombahsoul and moombawhateverthefuckelse people are making within the allotted 100-110bpm universe. I'm going to let the music do most of the talking this time around, so hit play, download, like, share and whatever else will further perpetuate the moombah-virus.

If you're reading this, then there's a good chance you're probably aware of moombahton and know the legend of it's creation. You may have already fallen in love with what many are calling the sound of summer 2011, or you may be a punk ass hater and insist that reggaeton, and thus anything produced as a result of it, is garbage. Either way, the sound is exploding globally, and is easiest described as a combination of reggaeton, Dutch house, dancehall and hiphop. Within the moombahton movement however, there are two main sub-movements called moombahsoul and [...]
