So once again readers, please excuse my hiatus. Since moving to Miami I've fully emerged myself in a house music fairytale. The weeks have flown by in a crazy blur of amazing shows and amazing people. I'm pretty sure my heart now beats at 128 BPM.

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

So basically Miami Music Week 2011 was the best week of my life. I met countless DJs and had a blast at parties all across the city. From the sands of South Beach at Swedish House Mafia's Masquerade Motel, to the grimey dancefloors of Downtown for Mad Decent's Moombahton party, I was hit with so many amazing tracks I could barely contain myself. The record numbers in Miami this year truly amazed me, EDM is truly taking over! And so now kids, i present to you

My Top 5 Tracks From Miami Music Week:

Green Velvet - Flash [Nicky Romero Rmx]
