now i try and keep powerthroughperfection strictly video business but a new era is on the horizon so i thought i'd dedicate a few words and a bit of time to this one-off. a new era of music is on the horizon, they call it MOOMBAHTON. this genre of electronic is not even a year old but is gaining growing recognition and support from an array of djs and producers such as Brodinski and Diplo as well as the "big" electronic record labels. conceived by the nada from electro outfit nadastrom (dave nada and matt nordstrom) this genre of music is expected to kick-off in 2011. here's a few words from the creator of Moombahton to give you an incite of its origins and foundations.
"Moombahton is mid-tempo global bass music for the universe. It's a sonic marriage of electronic dance music (house, techno, and dubstep) with latin/island music (reggeaton, cumbia, and dancehall) that flows at a pace of about 108 beats per minute. Originally, moombahton started by Dave Nada slowing down tropical and dutch house records and re-edited them to sound like reggaeton's weird little cousin. Because the tempo nears that of reggaeton, Nada created the neologism "Moombahton" by combining the title of the track "Moombah" by DJ Chuckie & Silva Cuomo and the "ton" ending of the word "reggaeton" and applied it to the new genre. Moombahton continues to grow worldwide as producers and DJ's push the music in exciting new ways."
