Brodinski Presents: European Introduction To Moombahton



It's in the nature of dance music to continually develop, such a fluid and diverse art form can never be grounded or labelled predictable. The thousands of variables that exist around one constant means that almost instinctive combination of beats & bass will never sit still. So here we are in 2011, the start of a new decade and what is perhaps one of the most exciting new genre's in modern dance, 'Moombahton', is blowing up.

We'll save you our textbook description of the genre as pioneer Dave Nada has done that for us in his 'History Of Moombahton', but what we will say is that not since the early noughties and the advent of Dubstep have we heard such an exciting and fresh sound just waiting to burst. Rolling dirty bass, laid-back but ultimately jacking rhythms and a feverishly contained energy create a sound which is completely unique but reassuringly familiar. With Moombahton's popularity increasing week by week, Brodinski has done the honorable thing by introducing Europe to the sound through an all encompassing mixtape.

Check out the blurb on his Facebook and download the mix HERE

History Of Moombahton :

"Moombahton is mid-tempo global bass music for the universe. It's a sonic marriage of electronic dance music (house, techno, and dubstep) with latin/island music (reggeaton, cumbia, and dancehall) that flows at a pace of about 108 beats per minute. Originally, moombahton started by Dave Nada slowing down tropical and dutch house records and re-edited them to sound like reggaeton's weird little cousin. Because the tempo nears that of reggaeton, Nada created the neologism "Moombahton" by combining the title of the track "Moombah" by DJ Chuckie & Silva Cuomo and the "ton" ending of the word "reggaeton" and applied it to the new genre. Moombahton continues to grow worldwide as producers and DJ's push the music in exciting new ways."
