Moombahton (pronounced moom-buh-tone) may be from D.C., but it’s not exactly of D.C: The essential summery vibe of his music, after all, comes from the Netherlands and a variety of Latin sounds. Dave Nada’s Moombahton peers, likewise, owe little to the Potomac basin. Within a month of his first Internet posting of Moombahton tracks, DJs elsewhere created their own versions. Even the Moombahton Massive gig featured artists from Alberta and New York, not to mention a 21-year-old Dutch wunderkind named Munchi.

Moombahton could never belong to D.C., because it almost immediately belonged to the Web.

This Friday we have Natalie Storm live at Flashing Lights, along with T&A artists Starks & Nacey. If you’re in New York City, we would love to see you at Public Assembly (front room). For a little preview, here is Natalie Storm’s new mix CD with Federation Sound, Songs 2 Fuck & Fight 2. In addition to dancehall and soca murderation she also voices a bunch of Flashing Lights favorites, including Afrojack “Pacha on Acid,” A-Trak x YYY “Heads Will Roll,” Armand Van Helden “Witch Doktor,” Boris Dlugosch “Bangkok” and more. And of course “Running” off the new TNT EP. Highly highly recommended.

LA throwback jungle duo Camo UFOs’ take on Munchi & Mr Lexx “Shottas” is free at RCRD LBL! Catch Munchi with Flashing Lights next Thursday in DC and buy his debut EP on T&A Records.

Brand new on T&A records, it’s TNT (Tifa, Natalie Storm and Timberlee, produced by Fancy)! I’ve been working really hard on T&A, and I’m super proud of this one. It began with Matt Goias sending me the weird pop dancehall project he was working on with Fancy and Max Glazer (Federation Sound). I liked it and asked to remix it, and ended up signing the whole EP to T&A. Big remixes from Bassanovva (Grahmzilla & Jubliee) and Dre Skull (Mixpak records).

6. Madre, No Llores

Munchi, a young Dominican producer living in Rotterdam, Netherlands, makes his debut on T&A Records with “Murda Sound.” The EP displays Munchi’s full arsenal of weapons, from the agro electro-dancehall of “Shottas” featuring Mr. Lexx (of Major Lazer “Hold the Line” fame) to the beautiful ambient dubstep of “Madre No Llores.” “Toma Essa Porra” is somewhere between Baltimore Club, Baile Funk and Dutch House, with screaming car alarm synths, African funk horns and raucous shouting. Keeping it rowdy, Murda Sound shares Bmore and Dutch elements, along with a Dubstep bass and Reggae vocal drops. Rounding out the EP is Hope, a deep Moombahton track with haunting chords and a chilling female vocal.

Munchi is working on a remix EP and an album for T&A, so expect a whole lot more in the near future!

BONUS MIX:

Best of Munchi Mix by Dirty South Joe (right click “save target as”)

AVAILABLE AT MADDECENT.COM

In the spring of 2010, an unknown kid from the Netherlands named Munchi sent Dave Nada a handful of Moombahton tracks, which he passed around to his friends. Since then, Munchi has gone from being a few DJs’ best kept secret to a highly sought-after producer. He’s been cranking out monthly promo EPs all year, and when Tittsworth and I reached out to him about doing an EP on T&A, he sent us everything from Baltimore Club, Kuduro, Baile Funk and Cumbia to House, Breakcore and deep Dubstep. But genre labels do Munchi a disservice, as every track combines elements from different styles and influences. A Dominican kid living in Rotterdam, he has been making reggaeton with Dutch influences since way before Dave coined Moombahton, and all sorts of weird sh*t before “Tropical” became a blanket term for the global bass movement. Simply put, he’s our favorite new producer and his tracks are f*cking insane. Dirty South Joe agrees, so he whipped up a live mix of Munchi favorites, including a bunch of tracks off Munchi’sMurda Sound EP (out now!) and as-yet untitled album coming on T&A this winter.  Tracklist after the jump.
