Moombahton + free compilation + Munchi + Nadastrom +

01. 17

Moombahton junkies, today is your lucky day! T&A Records has put togetether a free & out of this world 17-track compilation! This effort gives us a snapshot of Moombahton in 2013, nearly 3 years after Dave Nada slowed dutch house down to reggaeton tempo for a basement full of buckwild Latino kids in Baltimore. 

All the major players in the nascent genre come together with their A-game on Moombahton Forever, from originators Nadastrom, Sabo + Munchi to early adopters Heartbreak, Tittsworth, Ayres, Sazon Booya, Pickster & Melo to rave superstars Craze, GTA & Dillon Francis. All facets of the movement are represented: wild dutch synths (Deth, How Y’all Feel), huge buildups (Alerta, Dibby Dibby), reggaeton rhythms (Mami Whine It Up, La Brasilena), moombahcore (Gotta Know, Killa), deep vibes (Vibracion, Suenos), weird experimentalism (Savage Beauty, Club 219), & even a tempo tool from Moombahton to house (Eat It).

T&A co-owner DJ Ayres says of the compilation: “All the major players in the genre have brought their A-game on Moombahton Forever, which showcases the sheer scope of the sound: from originators Nadastrom, Sabo and Munchi to early adopters Heartbreak, Tittsworth, Ayres, Sazon Booya, Pickster & Melo to other established producers who’ve embraced it, like Craze, GTA, Bro Safari, Dillon Francis and DJ Yoda. Everything that defines the sound is there: wild Dutch house riffs, huge buildups, reggaeton rhythms, tough moombahcore, deep vibes, weird experimentalism, and even a tempo tool from Moombahton to house. A lot of people still ask what moombahton is – Moombahton Forever finally gives the definitive answer.”

Genre inventor & 1/2 of Nadastrom, Dave Nada had this to say about Moombahton Forever:
“People always ask me, ‘So how does it feel to have invented a genre?’ and I usually tell them ‘Well, it feels good to be a part of something.’ Moombahton may have started off with me making DJ edits of slowed-down house music to sound like a weird version of reggaeton, but it took a worldwide collective to turn it into a full fledged movement. It’s been a little over three years since moombahton’s inception and I can’t even begin to describe how big the sound has grown and how far it has travelled. Moombahton has infiltrated damn near every music scene across the globe, absorbing their backgrounds and creating a vibe of its own. It still has the dembow riddim as its backbone and remains at a mid-tempo range of about 108 beats per minute – but moombahton music has grown far beyond that, and not just in sound. Over the years I’ve been able to watch moombahton bridge different worlds, transcending cultural boundaries, all in the name of the groove. Producers, DJs and music lovers alike have pushed the sound in their own way, and I’ve had the privilege of helping steer the moombah-ship in a fun and interesting direction. With the help of the genre’s innovators, T&A Records bring you Moombahton Forever. This compilation is a reflection of where the sound is today and how far it has come. I’m excited to see where moombahton will take us next!”

The Strain of Origin + free compilation + electronic + glitch + experimental +

06. 26

In late 2010 Sydney label Feral Media + Brisbane label Lofly jointly released the Strain of Origin, a free compilation featuring artists from each labels roster remixing each other in a bid to determine who would reign supreme in the experimental music scene on Australia’s fertile eastern coast. 

The resulting compilation garnered critical praise for its originality & contribution to the Australian electronic music community, receiving widespread national airplay + taking out the coveted Album of the week spot on Sydney’s FBi radio. 

After the success of the release the idea of a 2nd compilation was proposed & in early 2012 the wheels were set in motion. This time around the labels went beyond their own rosters & extended the call out to a number of like-minded artists who have helped push the project into a new realm both geographically + stylistically. The new artists invited to participate in the project include AXXONN, Ambrose Chapel, Anonymeye, Dot. AY, Elroy 4.0, Jonathan Boulet, Mystery Twin (who also provides the amazing cover art for the release), Outerwaves, Simo Soo + Zeal. These contributions are bolstered by return performances from Feral & Lofly artists AFXJIM, Aheadphonehome, Alpen, Broken Chip (aka Option Command), Comatone, Mr Maps, Restream, Subsea, Thomas William, Toy Balloon & Underlapper with Feral artist Gentleforce also joining the ranks. 

The compilation traverses genres with the resulting tracks as varied as the artists themselves. From the pulsing ambience of Broken Chip’s take on Toy Balloon, to Comatone’s assaulting drill n bass reworking of Simo Soo, to Zeal’s all-out indietronic take on Underlapper’s track Himpory. 
Elsewhere Restream turns 8-bit maestro Dot.AY’s track into a stomping glitch freak out, while Jonathan Boulet takes us on a ride through desert plains with his spaghetti western reimagining of Brisbane artist Subsea. 

The Strain of Origin compilations are a great example of what can be achieved through remote collaboration + are a true testament to the high calibre of music being produced on Australia’s fair shores. This 2nd compilation (22 tracks total) establishes a precedent for an annual release with new Australian artists & labels to be added along the way. 

These compilations are released free of charge on Bandcamp for your listening pleasure.

Put together by Dutch label, Lomechanik, Ondergrond is a compilation composed of 19 tracks featuring raga hiphop cut ups, loud drill & bass tracks, weird electronics & even sweet pop songs with a mild electronic twist.
