Two new ones on me & Tittsworth’s T&A imprint! Listen and purchase below, and be on the lookout for new bangers from Grandtheft (Team Canada) and my own “I’d Fuck Me” EP in July.
This Thursday is Moombahton Massive 3. All proceeds go to help Munchi pay for his hospital bills, after a spontaneous seizure and coma in Hawaii. We’ve raised a solid amount of money already but nowhere near what it will cost to pay for all the bills, and this is important for Munchi to be able to travel freely back and forth to the US and DJ on the books with a work permit. (Besides being the right thing to do).
I spoke with Munchi on the phone last week and his doctor in Rotterdam told him he can begin to DJ and produce music again soon. He says he’s been resting up and he’s excited about working again. His headaches are much fewer and farther between and he’s feeling a lot better than he was – less dizziness & memory issues, more clear-headed and normal.
Even if you can’t make it to Moombahton Massive 3, you can still donate money directly to Munchi’s hospital fund right here.
ALSO:
I’ve been in the studio feverishly working on edits to play at the Massive. I have a bunch of finished stuff to debut on Thursday and I don’t want to give away too many surprises but while we’re on the topic of Munchi, I wanted to share this one as a little sneak preview. It’s simple but very playable.
This is the fourth annual T&A Records spring compilation, out now on iTunes, Amazon, Beatport, Juno and so forth. New and recent hits by Munchi, Steve Starks, Johnny Love (aka Deathface), DJ Ayres, Torro Torro, TNT, Rampage & Nader, Nguzunguzu, Tomb Crew, Zombies for Money, GLC, Bird Peterson and Dooze Jackers. Artwork by Mike the 2600 King! Get em while they’re fresh.
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).
