^ does that sound familiar? If so, chances are its because you've been to any Diplo show in the last year and a half. Enjoy it? Well thats perfect kids, because today iss:

MOOMBAHTON MONDAY!


So if you dont know what moombahton is, thats understandable. but be in the dark no more my readers! KC Love is here to educate ya :)


Moombahton (n): A genre created last year by Dave Nada (half of the EDM duo Nadastrom). Dave was a DJing a high school skipping party for his cousin when he decided to slow down Afrojack's Moombah & Sidney Samson's Riverside to about 108 bpm. Slowed down, the dutch songs sounded similar to the Latin genre reggaeton, and thus moombahton was born

So that was the beginning. Over the course of a year moombahton saw steady growth, but the genre really saw a huge spike in popularity this past March as dozens of DJs dropped moombahton bangers in their sets. Mad Decent even hosted a moombahton Blow Your Head party, with sets from Dave Nada, Dillon Francis, Toddla T, Heartbreak, and HOL's favorite: JWLS!
 David Heartbreak, Quincy, Billy The Gent, Dave Nada, Cian, Munchi and Sabo

In my Music Week review post I introduced you to moombahton in the form of Dillon Francis and Mahesa Utara. I know I've been hoarding my favorites but I guess nows the time to give up some more :/ yes. this pains me:
