Super Midweeky

It never ends...some mornings I hope for a reprieve from the dizzying task of compiling this fucking blog but my wishes are never granted.  I'm never blessed with a down server or a compromised system in fact, aside from random soundcloud outages, everything is generally smooth sailings here in MTH HQ--of course now that I've said that I'm sure something catastrophic will happen in the coming weeks.  Alas, I carry on and now that it's Wednesday it is my duty to assuage the masses and deliver some brand spankin' new heavy music from the likes of Major Lazer, Jack Beats, Foamo and many more!!  That's right folks, it's not all moombahton all the time round these parts, we like to shake things up occasionally.

My friends tell me to start things strong and that way people will be compelled to read further, therefore we begin with a B-Side. Out earlier this week on Clockwork's "Titan" single, this bastard of a track boasts a "big badass baseline sound". Great work sir!! Buy the complete Mad Decent release RIGHT HERE.

*NSYNC's self titled debut may be one of the most cherished pieces of my CD collection so when LA DJ/producer Pase Rock put up this flip with a 2 Chainz verse thrown in I was weary to say the least. Upon listening I was pleasantly surprised at how street the five part harmonies sound chopped up.  FREE DOWNLOAD

Here's the Foamo remix of Example's latest single...the album drops in mid-September and this UK jam has got me rocking in the studio this morning. Dig those hi-hats...DIG EM. Check the video for the original RIGHT HERE.

A little moombah magic from Geek Boy; this track is available from The Dankles along with an in depth interview. Check out some older tracks, grab the FREE DOWNLOAD, and get mad info about his live set and more RIGHT HERE.

Fans of the site know I'm really into the deeper side of the moombahton sound so I'm really glad this FREE DOWNLOAD showed up in my dashboard. Fase De Cinco with a super chilled out rework of fallen singer Aaliyah's new track with Drake. BIG.

Gwen Stefani + Diplo = NO MOOMBAH-DOUBT; I've been really feeling this new single from the OC's finest ska-leaning pop act.  Mr. Pentz has been working HARD.  Between Snoop Lion, No Doubt, Major Lazer, RiFF RAFF, his XM/BBC radio shows, and the countless live appearances he puts in, sometimes I wonder if he sleeps at all. Maybe he's got some Nick Fury-esque Life Model Decoys out there helping him out.

New track from French moombahtonista Zee Reach, he's calling it "MoombahRave"...yeah I see it. Not sure about the release details as of yet but I'm sure it's in the works; huge vibes on this one...love those airy stabs.

The massively successful Max Hardcore/Krups single from FL trio Team Jaguar has been remixed!! The pack includes flips from Sazon Booya, gLAdiator, Dooze Jackers, Vass, and this freebie from Sir Charles.  The whole thing drops August 22nd, for now enjoy this free download by clicking RIGHT HERE.

Austrailian duo The Mane Thing coming through with yet another moombahton jam for your listening pleasure. I'm sure they've been playing this out to raucous crowds of late and thought they'd let us all take a listen.

I remember, when Westside! came out I thought I was so awesome for knowing who Dillon Francis was. Now he gets 22k+ plays in 24 hours...DAMN the kid is getting huge--for fucks sake his cat has 3600+ twitter followers! His set at HARD summer was memorable as well so I was really excited to hear his latest collab with UK powerhouse Jack Beats; the result is a bouncy little bit of their wobbled out signature and very very danceable. Buy the whole Careless release RIGHT HERE.

That's it for today.  Make sure to come back daily for awesome new releases and fun stuff but especially every Wednesday when we present the MWP, chalk full of maddening new tunes to satisfy your ever expanding hunger for flavor of the day tunes.  Get with us on twitter, facebook, and soundcloud for EVEN MORE!!

That Long Weekend Feeling

As stated earlier I'm heading to San Diego tomorrow to cover Comic-Con for GoRadio so I wanted to jump on my mixtape blog today to get in the mood and possibly pick up a few mixes for my (and hopefully some of your) trip!  So many tapes, they've been falling like rain over the last few days and since I missed last week I've got some pilling up in my soundcloud favorites.  Fresh mixes from A-Trak, Crookers, Pipes, and many more so let's get to 'em!!












Ok that's it!!!  Now I'm seriously going outta town so if you need me tweet me, send me a facebook message, or some soundcloud hate mail if you wish but there probably won't be any more posts till next Monday folks!!  That is unless something amazing happens which in all likelihood could be the case buuuuuuuut don't plan on it!  Have a great rest of your week y'all!!

Welcome Back To Reality!

Uh oh...Monday, that means it's back to the daily grind here at MTH...to cold dark studios where we spend countless hours of the day sifting through the pile on soundcloud trying in vain to bring you some new and interesting tuneage.  This week is no different from any other, we've dug and dug and dug and now present to you some new music from the likes of Munchi, Dillon Francis, Nadastrom and more!  It's gonna be a great week y'all so let's get it cracking shall we??

Let's kick it off with a rocking remix of Alex Clare...I've let it be known that THIS remix is probably my favorite song at the moment (it has been for months) but I'm glad Nadastrom decided to go back to their punk roots for a little diddy just for us fans.

Here's a baile funk track from the PHX homie Riot Earp. Fans of the site know I'm impartial to latin rhythms and this track delivers for sure...plus I love whistles y'all.

Buraka beat master Branko is back at it with a bubbly rework of Drake. It's a FREE DOWNLOAD for now so make sure to get your hands on it ASAP.

Here's another FREE DOWNLOAD for ya...this time coming from Will Bailey who'll be at next month's Muevelo out here in LA...check it out and come to Muevelo to support the movement.

Another remix of "Express Yourself" is out for FREEEE...this version makes me feel like I'm dozing after a full night of raging, so good job Starfoxxx...I'm pretty sure that was your goal.

And now for a little summer flavor...first up here's a deep club re-fix of Aalyiah's "Rock The Boat" (RIP) from Tony Quattro. It's super chilled out and a FREE DOWNLOAD over at the man's Facebook page.

And here's a free soul track from our boy King Kong outta Portugal. This kid keeps the hits coming yet again with a track perfect for those outdoor pool parties you'll be frequenting soon.

The latest from Dillon Francis is a core'd up remix of Steve Aoki's "Control Freak"...it's a departure from Dillon's standard fare which is great to hear cause lately I've been growing tired of his style, so I'm glad he's trying to switch things up a little bit.

Another native track from ATCR...been really digging their stuff lately and I'm stoked they're giving it away for free RIGHT HERE!

What's that you say?? You want MORE ATCR?? Well hope about this Javier Estrada remix? Does that suit you?? It's a free DL as well...grab it RIGHT HERE.

New 'ish from JWLS...he's a Miami kid so it's no surprise that he dropped this strip club anthem on us after the Heat won the 'ship...grab it RIGHT HERE.

Brodinski cooked up a little "Techno Trap" transition track out of Danny Brown's "Die Like A Rockstar". It's available in the Fool's Gold Goldmine so if you're so inclined go ahead and sign up y'all!!

Now just wanted to share two tracks from Munchi's new release...the Rotterdam Trap EP dropped today, my man has been kicking back and taking care of himself so we're ok that he's taking more time to release tracks. As they come out he proves again and again why he's the master, this time he dominates the trap sound with his insane proficiency. Grab the EP RIGHT HERE y'all and rock this thing.

I could post the whole thing (it's all FIRE) but I feel like it's getting tons of exposure as is so I'll just keep it to two songs on today's big post. Holler at the kid MUNCHI in a city near you and support the movement!

That's gonna do it for today's new music y'all...we'll be back on Wednesday with more heaters to destroy your speakers with. Until then you'll just have to live with whatever else I decide to drop on you. Make sure to check us out on Facebook and twitter for more and more and more nonsense. PEACE!

Midweek Mayhem

Ladies and gentlemen!  We've reached the mid point in yet another great week for new music lovers and so it is again my pleasure to share some of my favorites.  It's sunny as hell out here in LA so it's some what torturous to be sitting in this cool air conditioned, windowless studio pouring over the dredges soundcloud has to offer but I take pride in bringing the heat to you out there in internet-land.  Fresh heat from David Heartbreak, Mendez, The Al Gore Rhythm Method and more this week so let's get it cracking!

Sin Diesel kicking things off with his forthcoming remix of Rot10 president Kid Cedek. Love the lurking drum work on this one as my man takes a seemingly darker approach than some other versions we've heart of this track.

FREE DOWNLOAD! El Cuco head honcho Mendez coming back again with yet another bootleg. Jump on this one while it's still available.

The Nadastrom remix of this still reigns as my favorite version of this Drop The Lime cut but I'll give the man props for this darker take on his own work.

Javier Estrada penned this theme music for LA based The Wood Class...met some of these dudes at Muevelo a while back, get at them if you wanna be mad swagged outta your mind.

Heartbreak calls this track a cross between "Trap Shit and Badman Rave". Good to see the chameleon back at it again with yet ANOTHER stylistic jump. Fans of this site know I'm a Marvel fan boy so mad props to Dave for donning the purple and green as well.

One of my absolutely favorite producers, Frenchman Douster dropped this new remix on us today. It debuted in the Thermal Teams most recent podcast and the awesome news is, IT'S FREE!

More Canadian moombah for y'all from the homies in TAGRM. Another step in a cool direction for this duo, we here at MTH look forward to more awesome productions to come.

Melo released this soulful, summer jam yesterday on his The Diamond King release. I suggest you pick it up immediately.

Here's another summer-tinged track from LA duo Poolside. Their "Daytime Disco" take on this cut from The Rapture has me yearning for a mojito and a chez lounge.

Yet another super-star team up for Dillon Francis, this time with Fool's Gold co-founder A-Trak. Make sure to check out the wacky video for this one featuring a handful of cool cameos.

Another lurky bass driven track and guess what...it's a FREE DOWNLOAD! Y'all know how much I love those...check out Doc Trashz FB page for more info on this Trouble and Bass artist.

In honor of Donna Summer's passing last week Riot Earp through together this club re-work of the Diana Ross classic "Missing You"...we here at MTH are also mourning the legendary disco artists passing, RIP.

This final track is somewhat a joke not sure if El Nomada is in on it but either way I like his 8-bitaton...haha.

So that'll do it for this week's new tracks.  Make sure to check in with us on Friday for some crazy mixtape madness!

That Monday Stuff

You're different, Rashad. You're special.

Gah, the weekend, sigh...is over.  Back to the grind.  Back to the 4:45am alarm.  Back to 8 hour work days and not nearly enough time to relax.  Here at MTH it's back to NEW MUSIC!  Yay!  Does new music make your week start off better??  It does for me!  Kicking things off with a new track from the homies 2 Deep, TYBG.


Here's something a little special from :DFace, it's a peak into the electro/house aspect of his production and as usual Garrett lends his vocal talent to this peak time track. FREE DOWNLOAD!

Sandwich Island Bass is an outfit straight outta Maui, their warm climate perspective fits right in with the tropical feel of the moombah sound and we're glad to feature this killer bass driven track today.

Red from The Al Gore Rhythm Method reached out to me last week and I'm happy he did because this track is super catchy. Grab it for free while there are downloads left!!

New Dillon Francis.

DJEJ just dropped his bootleg of Kid Cedek's "Sientelo", it's a little too late for the remix contest but we think he might have been at the top of the table if he'd have gotten this out in time, check it out.

Here's another free bootleg, this time from DOSLOBOS. He switched it up on us and took Astronomar's Jeffree's release to a different place all together.

Here's a funky feeling track from Riot Earp and Noms; it's fighting music for sure.

Big ups to ETC! ETC! on this dope Major Lazer remix...1000 plays in 120 minutes?!

Yet another strange track for ya here on a Monday! Make sure to check out Javier Estrada coming to Muevelo this May!

Fiona Apple flipped? Sure, why not.

Can't get enough of Neki Stranac lately, here's his contribution to 110BPM Vol. 2 which you can grab for absolutely FREE RIGHT HERE.

Gonna end this week's post with a couple of pop reworks, starting off with Loud Flavor's remix of the Diplo produced "Climax".

And finally we have a Gym Class Heroes remix--never thought I'd be giving these dudes press but PrimeTime stepped up to the plate and I'm really digging the drum work he's done setting this track to the 108 dembowed out moombah-style.

Alright y'all that's all for today, hope you're Monday goes extremely well and we'll see you Wednesday with more and more and MORE new music. PEACE!

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know ft Kimbra(Mendez Rework) by Mendez
El Cuco honcho Mendez comes soft and easy on his flip of the vastly catchy "Somebody That I Used To Know".
Dillon Francis - Falling Up by DILLONFRANCIS

Finally a little more moombahton flavor for you from MTH fav 2Deep.  Really looking forward to seeing him at this months Muevelo featuring David Heartbreak and Sabo.

Moombahton's West Coast Weekend

WEST UP!

The Golden State plays host to a string of big time moombahton parties this weekend and it all kicks off tonight in the city of angels.  Los Angeles hosts Rotterdam wunderkind Munchi at Muevelo for a night of debauchery featuring local producers 2 Deep, gLAdiator, and Benzona.

Saturday shall be equally interesting for both northern and southern California moombahton fans with SoCal enjoying the stylings of local boy Dillon Francis who'll be hitting up the OC for a party hosted by friends of MTH, Into The Am.

As for NorCal, pioneer and style chameleon David Heartbreak will grace the bay for the first time ever at Fever.  Heartbreak will be bringing the heat to the party and is ready to rock SF.

So for all of us lucky enough to live in CA I suggest getting down and dirty this weekend at one of these parties.  This sort of weekend is few and far between with three localities each getting a big time heavy hitter within the movement to come out and rock the decks.
