Dillon Francis has already claimed his place amongst quickly rising dubstep and electro producers, but he’s also part of a newer movement. This movement is something no one really knows whether to take jokingly or seriously. The music of this movement was invented only one year ago by Dave Nada of Nadastrom. It’s easy to make, and it feels like slow-motion sex. It’s MOOMBAHTON. (See Oh My!’s original post on Moombahtoon back in March.)
For those who don’t already know, Moombahton is Dutch house slowed down to a tempo of around 108 beats per minute. It can make you laugh, and it can make you cry. It can also paralyze your inner core and actually warp your consciousness so that your mind perceives Time at 84% of its original rate.
“Masta Blasta” is some of the most recent Moombahton out there, and Dillon says it’s already getting a huge response. Sorry no download though, as it’s coming out on Plant Music in the near future. Also included here is the Moombahton version of DF’s collaboration with DJ Ammo, which Major Lazer opened their set with at Coachella this year.
This Major Lazer x La Roux mixtape dropped earlier today and I’ve been listening to it nonstop since then. The production and remixing on this mixtape is impeccable and the vibe changes are incredibly on point. To top it off, some of the bangers on this mixtape have some serious slaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppp. Once again, NO ON HAS SWAGGER LIKE MAD DECENT!
With dancefloors accross the country still recovering from their ‘Lazers Never Die’ tour, Major Lazer is set to drop a new EP by the same name on July 20th. Taking a break from some of the sooper bloopers we saw on ‘Guns Dont Kill People .. Lazers Do‘, the new ep reps a chiller vibe just in time for da summer. But one thing hasn’t changed, and that is the group of A-Listers that rolled through the legendary Tuff Gong studios to collab on da EP. Ok now for some mp3s — took some serious daggering …I mean digging, but I’ve got 3 of the upcoming singles off the EP for you here today!
Bonus: Ok, so you’re down with those tracks, but where are the new bangers at!? Well, Major Lazer and Afrojack have been playing out a follow up to the devastating ‘Pon De Floor.’ Some are calling it ‘Pon De Streets,’ others are calling it ‘Drive By,’ either way, its been slaying it. Heres a recent youtube clip of Major Lazer in philly dropping 2 unreleased tracks. The first one is unknown, but might be called ‘Original’ (?), and the second one is ‘Pon De Streets’.
Ohh and for all the ladies and fellas who need the 411 on daggering, check out Skerrit Bwoy‘s instructional video.
So this year, A+ and I (Furan) journeyed down to Coachella on behalf of the CYV™ team. We documented our entire weekend with photos and videos and ultimately had one of the most epic Coachella experiences of our lives! So many amazing artists came down to perform, and the way the event was organized even seemed to be better than last year.
Oh Coachella! How you are so much fun!
More Coachella highlights and videos after the jump: (more…)
Diplo & Switch separately are two of my favorite DJ’s; Diplo with his Hip Hop, Bmore, Mashup Style and Switch coming in with some bangin’ Techno, House, Fidget, and some Dubstep. Definately a show you want to see. We saw them both at EDC and HARD Halloween. Top Notch. Here’s a video of them at EDC:
Notice the setup they are running!!!
This first track is a bit hard to fit in your electro set, but it’s still pretty damn cool with all the funky samples.
