Moombahton is perfect summer music. The chopped-and-screwed house elements and Latin percussion transport you to beach parties in tropical locales, complete with sand between your toes and a rum drink in your hand. But most of all, moombahton is built for that favorite summer pastime: dancing. With that in mind, TGRIOnline is pleased to present Culipandeo, a moombahton mix by rising selector and moombahton connoisseur DJ A-Mac.
Dave Nada and A-Mac have been 1A and 1B when it comes to the developing genre. A-Mac’s take on the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s “Heads Will Roll” was one of the first moombahton jams to catch fire, and the Calgary DJ continues to dominate the sound, dropping nine of his own edits on the mixtape. A-Mac’s skills don’t just lie in remixing, but in finding hot tracks and coaxing out a moombahton groove, as he does with the NROTB remix of Drop the Lime’s “Set Me Free” and the Highschool remix of Hot Chip’s “I Feel Better.”
The mix will keep you dancing for nearly an hour and hits the touchstones of the young genre. Tracks by the man himself (“KRS Moombahton Edit”, “La Gata Plastica”) are included for good measure, but the highlight just may be when Modjo’s “Lady” melts into Timbaland & Magoo’s “Drop.”
Call it what you will – el culipandeo, the booty shake, the hip roll – moombahton makes you dance. So cop it, crank it, and move it this summer! And be sure to show the DJ some love: find A-Mac on Facebook, Soundcloud, Myspace, and Twitter.
