trap?!

Yeah, been hot down here for a couple years. I'm closer to the boarder tho so maybe just now peaking up north (get with the times bra ! ).<br /><br />Some people still play it but didnt quite take off as much as trap. Not nearly the exposure. I think cause it sounds too much like bmore (RIP). Or maybe it was pushed out by the Mexican Tribal scene. Who knows. Who cares. Most moomb is pretty crap. Some bangers of course, but a lot is not that good.

i really like moombahton, but i cannot stand the word. it really bothers me that dave nada coined it moombahton because of the track "moombah" and the syncopated rhythm from reggaeton, because if the rhythm is all their jacking they should recognize that the rhythm is from dancehall. this is one of those instances that diggla mentions as bullshit ignorance, and maybe this is why the movement is already a caricature of itself. i caught nadastrom at lollapalooza and their dancefloor was empty and there were two dudes behind two decks seemingly sipping cocktails the whole time.

 

i made a quick moombahton mix for a friend and just called it "tropical bass/cumbia sistema" my own idea of what the sound actually is i guess... hispanic sound clash music really. i didnt use any of that moombahcore/step stuff besides one track at the end which is actually a joke remix of "vamos a la playa." i already recorded an advanced version for that friend, but i was inclined to continue working on it. im taking out that joke track and finding one or two closing tracks for it then ill record a little scratch track for the intro and its done. ill post it up if anyone is into that sort of stuff.

i cant get down at any party where every dj is playing the same type of music... which is why chicago is so awesome for being the birthplace of house.

Most underground nights in the UK (I can't speak for the USA) are based around a single genre or subgenre and will rarely deviate from said genre/subgenre. I've always prefered nights based around an ethos or approach to music that cover loads of tempos or genres/subgenres. Most of the 'trendy' nights in Leicester just play one tempo at the moment (I literally mean one single bpm) and it's borrrrrrring as fuck.
