Moombahton (pronounced /ˌmoom-ba-ton/) is a genre of electronic dance music that was created by American dj/producer Dave Nada [1] (aka Dave Villegas) at a high school homecoming "skipping party" for his younger cousin in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 2009.[2] The specific event that stimulated NADA's development of the Moombahton genre was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song "Moombah" to 108 beats per minute. Because that tempo nears that of the reggaeton, Nada created the neologism "Moombahton" by combining the title of the track "Moombah" and the "ton" ending of the word "reggaeton" and applied it to the genre.
Between autumn of 2009 and March, 2010, Nada perfected his vision of the new genre in the recording studio utilizing intuitions and insights garnered from the "skipping party" experience to create a five track EP of newly-minted Moombahton tracks that was released in March 2010 with the promotional assistance and support of DJ Ayres and DJ Tittsworth at T & A Records [3]
Thanks smokefrogg, I'll have to have a closer listen. I'm not familiar with the original content so it's harder to tell.
If you like electronic music you may like "moombahton". lol here's the wiki on it, kind of reminds me of how C&S may have started:
hahah hell ya! Thanks for even checking it out.hey duplicate, i checked out several moombahton tracks, man i just can't do it, different strokes for different folks right?
I hear ya. I don't even really like reggeaton. It's just when you put the electronic element to it I dig it. Even then, It's like candy to me. So so sweet in the beginning but it doesn't have the staying power. I know it, and it's OK. They're just summer jams that I'm burning on repeat right now. Most music I grow to love I don't even like at first.then comes the reggaeton beat, i'm not trying to be a dick hater or whatever...
Mmmmm, delicious with the exception of the goa. Goa/tribal has always sounded too thin to me. Very technical just not my thing. Had to sneak this in.re electronic - i got into rave stuff in 91~92ish...
