Experiencing major Déjà vu as I blast this quick write-up on yet another sucker free ticket giveaway from us full-time hype beasts here at CYV. Wasn’t it just a few months ago that we hooked up some lucky winners with the chance to see this moombahton menace live in action? Fresh from NYE escapades at the brand new SnowGlobe Festival (an icy fresh assortment of the most sought after names in electronic music) Dillon Francis is back at Manor West to give everyone another healthy dose of booty music.
Contest rules are simple: “like” our page, post the link to this article on your facebook timeline & winners will be announced Friday. The loot is 4 pairs of tickets (8 tickets total) so that makes 4 winners & their guests. Make sure you keep an eye out for us when we contact you!
IMPORTANT: In order to receive tickets you must have a valid email address.
One of your most promising options for New Year’s this year: the Snowglobe Music Festival in Lake Tahoe, December 29-31. The line-up guarantees three days of the nastiest dubstep, glitch-hop, hip-hop, and house. French YouTube mash-up star Madeon will be making one of his debut performances in the United States. Dillon Francis and Figure will be bringing in the exclusive new moombahton bangers in complement to their electro/fidget and dubstep roots (and a lot of drumstep in the case of Figure). Big Gigantic will represent the ever so common saxophone-with-live-EDM format. Underground glitch genius Dave Tipper will most likely be the favorite of anybody who’s had the pleasure of hearing him before. Porter Robinson, the 19- or 20- year-old electro house front-runner who’s been touring with Tiesto, will bring his sound to the Lake. “Community” TV star Donald Glover will be there as his rap alter ego, Childish Gambino. Also on the bill is Datsik, who was recently able to collab with the person who got him into bass music in the first place: Bassnectar. Bassnectar will be headlining the show alongside Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, and The Glitch Mob.
Check out the rest of the line-up here because the few artists I’ve mentioned hardly covers it.
As usual, Will Bailey totally killed it while no one was looking. Or at least I wasn’t looking. Just when you thought Will had already put out enough ingenious floor whompers this year and deserved a lengthy sabbatical, here comes this “Lizard EP,” showcasing five new pieces. Each of these tracks prove Will’s out-of-this-world innovative powers a dozen times over.
Out of the five, we’ve got three electro house, one moombahton, and one “down tempo spaceship electro” (“Spaceship Funk”), which is probably intended to be dropped during moombahton sets.
Meanwhile, “Offline” starts with big-room Swedish-house-style synth hooks (something completely unexpected from the dirt master Will Bailey), but wait it out about a minute and a quarter because a surprise awaits you.
“Warehouse,” sonically, seems to be a story about two reptilian android creatures: One is very grumpy about being woken up by the other, so the other decides to irritate him even further by throwing sour gummy worms at his head. Hilarity ensues.
“Mean Streets” is – as declared by the genre label Will placed on this one – a story about the childish temper tantrum of a raging warlord in feudal England. Will knows a lot about these things because he himself is English.
The title track for this EP, “Lizard,” is simply moombah done right. It kind of embodies where moombahton is at right now but completely picks up the slack where a lot of other moombahton tracks are lacking.
We wouldn’t be doing our part as relevant and updated west coast bloggers if we didn’t let you know that this Friday September 14th, Dillon Francis will be visiting SF for an intimate show; The Moombahton Don will be taking over lavish Manor West and I feel it is our responsibility to get some of you fine people in for free!

Hello fellow vitamin fiends! I recently finished up a new track (along with a Moombah edit) and I’ve decided to give em out for free. Please visit my soundcloud and grab the downloads there! Also, please feel free to use the comment form here and let me know what you guys think. This is my first attempt at anything Dutch or Moombah so I’d love to hear some feedback!
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.
Dave Nada invented Moombahton (pronounced Moom-buh-tone) at his little cousin’s house party when he slowed an Afrojack remix down to 108 beats per minute. Since then, he’s been making reggaeton-tempo edits of Dutch house and tropical house, and clubs have been going crazy for the stuff. [Excerpt from DJ Ayres]
This shit is actually pretty sick! I get that slowed down creeper vibe like in a dubstep track, but it’s got this whole different feel to it with the all pitch-bent afro noise (especially in Moombhaton & Seductive Sound). Really interesting stuff here…was very compelled to give it a post!
Check out everything for download at the following link. Big ups to Discobelle for turning me onto this.
