PREMIERE: Scion A/V Presents: Nadastrom - Dub-A-Luma
If you screw down Afrojack/tropical/Dutch house low enough, you’ll have moombahton. If you blow out the bass and gently coax that mother into a stretchy, froggy wormhole of tribal pulses, assembly-line beats, warning blasts and disembodied space PSAs, you’ll have Nadastrom’s “Dub-A-Luma.” And if you hop over to Scion A/V on October 18, you’ll have the rest of the duo’s 6-track EP, totally gratis.

DOWNLOAD: Dillon Francis & Dave Nada - Brazzers Theme (Munchi's Fuck That It's Bangbros Remix)
In this tiny space, I've previously tried to give a primer on Dave Nada's fire alarm invention of moombahton, but if you need a more in-depth lesson and don't have my phone number, you can check out this very informative piece over at NPR. Up-and-comer Dillon Francis gets a nice little shout out as the L.A. ambassador and we think "Brazzer's Theme", his collab with Papa Nada gives good reason for him to stand proudly atop Moombah Mountain on west coast. Here, it's remixed by moombahton luminary, Munchi who has coaxed it into his usual Cuban motion-in-warp-speed beats. Watch as your knees bend deeper and you're hopping like a rave frog. These are the dreams soundclouds are made of (wokka, wokka). You can catch the original on Francis' new EP Westside!, which also includes collabs with DJ Ammo, as well as Diplo and Maluca. It's out now from our fam at Mad Decent.

DOWNLOAD: True Womanhood - Minajah

In a word association game, the last one you're gonna name when someone says, "Moobahton" would probably be "Analogue." That didn't stop DC's True Womanhood from trying their hand at the Dave Nada's genre-born-of-troubleshooting without the help of newer technologies. For "Minajah", Noam Elsner, one half of the duo said, "We didn't use Ableton like everyone else because we're idiots and we thought we could make electronic music using live instruments through effects pedals." While the track isn't tantamount to the drag race thump we love from Nadastrom or Munchi productions, it has its own flavor—a pretty brilliant interpretation of dancefloor zeitgeist that was made through instrumentation instead of computer programming. And they recorded the whole thing on reel-to-reel tape (for their REEL-TOO-REAL series)! That's craft dedication. With payoff, too, because they report to have given it a spin for Nada and he dug it!
