To celebrate the successful globalization of this ever-capricious and beloved genre and all the hard work put in by this leading moombah proponent himself, we are delving straight in with a selection of not only the freshest mid tempo available but also some of the most transitional moombah beats taking the genre to strange new lengths.

As I am exploring Moombahton more and more each week, the very versatility of the genre itself, has never failed to astound me. The most fascinating thing about Moombahton is its virtually infinite ability to be reimagined and readily assimilated into any audio context.
This moombahcore sample below is a space-age, almost industrial-techno take on the genre. While it certainly evades all currently “suggested” forms of moombahton (specifically, it lacks those Latin/tropical samples/percussion) the track itself acts as a loophole; as an invitation for more artists of all various realms of sounds, to participate in influencing and enhancing our (already capricious) broad definition of the genre. Tracks like this one below, although maybe not particularly appealing to most Moombah heads, nonetheless demonstrates Moombahton’s rare ability to transcend traditional genre confines.

More than anything I’m still trying to wrap my head around this next track… Would this be considered Fidget-ton? If so, does that officially make it DOOMbahton!?

What happens when Witchhouse meets Moombahton? Well that’s currently what several artists including David Heartbreak are starting to explore. In the meantime here’s an approved “Brujahton” track by way STLKRFXXX out of Chicago that’s definitely worth a sniff.
