Friday Night SMOOTH Music

I was listening to Steely Dan all the way home tonight and it got me in the mood for some smooth music.  Those soft airy vocals, the subtly haunting lyrics, and vocal perfection were the perfect soundtrack for my dusk commute; it's summertime y'all, let's enjoy it while it lasts...jam on a sexy set of moombahfied smooth classics.

Toddla T gets Agitated!

Ross Orton and Pipes have come together to remix the entirety of Toddla T's latest full length, Watch Me Dance.  The results of this re-imagining is a dark and bass filed journey through bashment, jungle, UK garage and many more maddening dance beats.  Stand out track for me has to be "Watch Me Dub", a big beat flip of the title track featuring an eerie bit-squashed hook along with equally smashed synth leads.  Agitated drops next week but Mixmag was kind enough to share a stream of the album for us all to preview; take 50 minutes out of your day and bump this thing!!

Also, the video for Body Good is pretty fun:

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!!

Go As Far As You Wish!

Another awesome free release from Teenage Riot Records, this one from Texan and all around mad man Bird Peterson.  Dude has been refining his dirty south bass sounds for some time and seems to be hitting a certain stride of late; his Drankenstein tapes will surely prove me right in this regard.  Can I Go A Little Further? features the Bird's signature southern stylings and a little preachy mess thrown in for good measure.  Really digging the B-Side as well with the snappy snares and rattled off hi-hat riffs meshing perfectly in this bass heavy drum beat.  DIG IT!!  Previews below.

It's About That Time Party People

A few months back, SoCal moombah heads Primetime and D-V3KZ came together on a track and decided it ought to be remixed by the masses.  Thus launched a most heated competition to be included on the forthcoming free EP from these gents, many entered the arena and a select few emerged victorious and are so lain here before you to be judged. (download link at the bottom y'all)

Here's the original...TURN UP THE BASS MOTHA FUCKA!

Mauritzio Sanchez gives it a clean rinsing in the classical moombahton style.

EntransiK gets all trapy with it, slowed down, heavy bass, snazy hi-hats and all.

Fake Moustache shows you don't HAVE to be a hipster to enjoy...but it helps a little.

Caballo from the Tropical Bass blog contributed this drum-laden jam of a remix.

The homie from San Diego, babySTEPS got his track onto the EP...it's loud as hell and a pure shout out to all the rachets out there on the dance floor.

Ronaissance bringing more heavy kicks into this mad house. Plenty of rewinds to bring your head back into the game...YOU THINK IT'S A GAME???

Lastly, (well not really but the last one I can find a preview for) we have this totally excellent flip from The Al Gore Rhythm Method. It's fitting that I include them last as I think this may be my favorite of the bunch. Red and Patrick show that Wisconsin has more than excellent cheese and disgruntled Packers fans, there's apparently some moombahton to be had!! Great work fellas!

In addition to the tracks listed there's a pretty excellent flip from Jonny Chino as well as C.O.D.A. so you should just grab the whole release RIGHT HERE and listen to them all...decide for yourself which you like best!!

Cruising the Tube with New Wave 4 from Moomba+

Like Kelly Slater or Rob Machado or countless other surfers, it seems Moombahton again is riding a slow breaking wave to glory.  The fourth installment of the New Wave Of Moombahton series has fallen into the well suited hands of Moomba+ and the team has compiled a pretty spectacular group of established and emerging talents to grasp the helm of the 108BPM sword and strike down the enemies amongst us.  From solidly engrained producers like Cy Kosis, TEKNiCOLOR, and Sin Diesel who's track reminds us all that moombahton "ain't goin' nowhere"; to new talents like Drop That Cow!, Rotten Ralphie (Rot10 Musik founder), Foxsky, and Cliché who's deep cut "Bird's Eye" is probably my favorite of the entire comp.  Not only does The New Wave Of Moombahton IV showcase the modern sound that's been steadily developing within the movement, it harkens back to the dembow'd rhythms of old with tracks like "Bounce" from Beat Down the Kid and "La Moombah Le" from CMC505 & SK-ONE (a talented duo from New Mexico).  A well rounded edition to be sure and of course made available absolutely free RIGHT HERE from Tony and the kind soldiers at Moomba+.  Make sure to grab it and peep the tracks below.

Get Ur Wednesday FIXXX On

Every day I'm searching...searching for a feeling, for a FEVER.  Tryin' to chase that dragon ever onwards through the rabbit hole.  I'm tireless in my hunt for new tunes and will spend countless hours dragging the dredges of my soundcloud dashboard and always for YOU!  The ever humble fans of MTH, it is for your benefit that I lie awake nights hoping and praying to awake to more and more gems and freebies to share with you.  Well today we find ourselves at another midweek juncture.  And so of course we return to the MWP to find some awesome hits to keep you company for the long haul to the weekend.  Today we've got stuff from the likes of Pickster One, Clockwork, and Boys Noize along with a host of other great tracks.

First up, how about a bouncy core-leaning tune from La'Reda?? They're calling it a "Summertime Bikini Dropper" so I'm glad to finally be sharing it with you on this first day of August. It's apparently coming soon from Holy Bangers Recordings.

As promised, new music from Clockwork...this is the A-Side and title track to the dude's forthcoming single from Mad Decent which drops August 7th...and it's HEAVY!

Now the first of THREE exclusives I'm borrowing from other blogs today...this one comes from Jonny Chino via the 110BPM blog. Read what the LA producer says about this laid back tune AND grab the free download RIGHT HERE.

And here's an exclusive to the Walmer Convenience blog from Chicago producer Nader. It's a bad ass flip of Cy Kosis' titular track off his new EP which dropped earlier this week...buy it RIGHT HERE. The remix is available for free RIGHT HERE.

This track is the first single from Boys Noize's forthcoming full length, Out Of The Black (out Monday). Love the pounding rhythm here along with the German's signature large and in charge synth leads.

The first of what I'm sure will be a SLEW of remixes hitting my soundcloud after Diplo decided to release the a capella for this Alex Clare hit (which has been downloaded nearly 3k times). OctoRed attempting to do a little damage...and succeeding! Love the eerie feel of this thing and guest what, it's freeeeeeeee.

Speaking of Diplo, The Mane Thing threw Nicky Da B's "Express Yourself" vocal over a chopped version of "Killing In The Name Of" and added a few tribal drum sounds to create this madness. Well played y'all...well played.

It's Free Willy Wednesday over at GDD...with the eight installment, Willy Joy dropped a heavy moombahton track in the new wave style. Super glitchy with plenty of bleeps and claps to keep my head nodding. FREE DOWNLOAD!!

Speaking of free downloads, the homie Pickster One is giving away another of the many tracks in his arsenal. It's a radical flip of Miss Platnum which seemed destined for moombah-status...damn those horns sound funky.

That's gonna do it for today's MWP! Hope y'all enjoyed it, make sure to grab the free downloads where applicable and of course to support these artists by purchasing the tracks and going to see them spin, you won't be disappointed. For more BS from us make sure to like our facebook page, follow us on twitter, and get with us on soundcloud. Till we meet again y'all...peace.
