There's Always More Remixes in the Sea

DC trio Misun dropped their 6 track debut EP The Sea on Tuesday via T&A Records...grab it RIGHT HERE.  Today we have some excellent flips from the likes of Steve Starks, Billy The Gent, Cousin Cole, and more.  The gentle and steady rhythms of these tracks make it a classically styled summer release perfect for long drives in a convertible to whichever warm weather destination you desire...and if you so desire an aquatic destination it's all the better.  I'm particularly fond of DJ/Guitarist William DeVon's take, it's got a dirty vibe to it but also sounds a tad bit mid-80's funky, DIG IT!  Make sure to check out the remixes below and buy the whole set RIGHT HERE.

Misun is: Nacey (Facebook/twitter/soundcloud) on keys, William DeVon (Facebook/twitter/soundcloud) on guitar, and Misun Wojcik (soundcloud/Facebook) on vocals of course.

Let The Tears Flow Y'all

There are few genres with as much diversity (musically and ethnically) as moombahton.  It's the type of music that can make you happy, horny, angry, or sad all in one EP!  This EP is not diverse...it's all about the softer emotions.  Cousin Culo and Phi Unit have teamed up yet again to bring you the second in their So Emotional series.  These songs aren't for the faint of heart, if you're trying to get with a girl, play this shit; if you're trying to recover after a bad breakup, get down to it; if you're trying to cruise the strip and look super hot in your drop top 5.0 on a sunny day in Miami Beach...obviously you gotta play this shit.  There giving it away for free RIGHT HERE so get off your lazy ass and download it already, see the previews below.

Make sure to interact with these fellers on the web:

Midweek Gathering

Hooray!  Soundcloud has returned and so too have we here at MTH with our midweek picks of the best of what we've been hearing.  Lots of cool stuff today from the likes of David Heartbreak, Mendez, Neki Stranac, and more so lets stop the lolly-gagging and blast some tuneage! Let's kick things off with a super chill, "halftime edit" of Major Lazer's latest "Get Free" from the one and only Cousin Cole.


Munchi showing much love for this latin ass shaker from D-V3KZ so I figured I'd follow suit. Not much of a moombah blog if we don't do EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS right?

Here we have DJ Melo taking us on a less than bumpy ride through the galaxy. Really digging his latest stuff on his new soundcloud page. WHATUP FAM??

This track from King Kong is the theme music for something called Off/cina which I am too lazy to dive further into, if you're curious HERE IS THE SITE. This shit is smoooooooth and I like it.

This remix comes straight outta Israel from that dude SaBBo and is available for FREE from Generation Bass. Check out their write up of the Sobrando release HERE.

Phi Unit reworked this Toddla T track and it's a FREE DOWNLOAD.

Another flipped out moombah-saur from DC's own DJ Madd OD, gotta give love to the big homie, check out his latest mixtape "La Selva" RIGHT HERE.

El Cuco boss Mendez just dropped a four pack of YMCMB boots.  Grab them all RIGHT HERE.

Another fucking track from Neki Stranac, he's untouchable at this point. Be on the look out for his next hit, dropping on the 110BPM Vol. 2 release early next week.

This lurker comes courtesy of Nacey and is straight up MOBBING music. Love the lag in the drums and the far off sirens, makes me feel like I'm running from the cops on a dark night in the LB.

Last but certainly not least we have this new Skrillex chop from the dog David Heartbreak. He and Craze reworked 7 "Loc'd Out" tracks and you can grab them all RIGHT HERE.

Got a special request from the DVR folks to give this track a little "bump". Nothing like some original moombahton to get me motivated, we featured this track and the entire Slo Yo Roll release last week.

Well that'll do it for us again this fine hump day. Time to get back to real work, jam to these tunes, support the artists as always and we'll see you Friday with a fresh pack of mixtapes to get the weekend off to a fine start!

Night Time Smooth Tunez

It's been so heavy around here lately, I feel like we need to smooth things out a little bit. So boogy down for just a minute with us to some of the smoothest of the smooth, smooth as a baby's bottom.
