MTV Iggy just ran a great article on moombahtoon and what it is and what it's all about. We highly recommended reading it as the new subgenre is incredible and truely gonna be the buzz of 2012. Moombahtoon is soulful, sexy, edgy, and a genre made for dance. As the article talks about, moombahtoon has been primed for the big names to jump on board and they are flocking. Starting with skrillex and going to laidback luke, diplo, and porter robinson to name a few.
With out further adue, here is the piece:
(mtviggy)"We can say this with confidence: in 2012, no song will be safe from a moombahton remix. And that’s not a bad thing.
Over the last few years, moombahton has blasted out of Washington DC, ricocheted hysterically around the internet, and landed squarely in Serato crates at fashionable parties the world over. The sound proved irresistible on the dance floor – slow and sexy like reggaeton, but hard-edged like house at the same time. It could get a Latin or tropical bass crowd grinding, but was accessible to more mainstream clubgoers at the same time. Moombahton makes you dance, end of story. And with more and more big names like Diplo, Laidback Luke, and even rapper Wale signing on to the style and current dubstep demigod Skrillex’s involvement in the growing “moombahcore” offshoot, the genre’s progressive world domination is looking pretty inevitable.
For the uninitiated, we decided to put together a little Moombahton 101 primer, using 9 dirty dembow tracks that help tell the music’s story. Read on!"
