Mixpak 021 is brought to you by Sabo, DJ, producer and head of Sol Selectas records. The now LA-based triple threat is well known for his inspired mix of genres, from Cumbia to Miami Bass but along with Dave Nada, Sabo was one of the pioneering producers behind Moombahton, responsible for the Moombahton Massive parties and the accompanying 4 EPs that helped showcase their creation to the world. He’s transformed House of Pain, Benga & Coki and Jamie XX into 108bpm moombahton club hits, created originals that are now genre staples, and his rework of Dennis Ferrer’s ‘Hey Hey’ made it onto Mad Decent’s ‘Blow Your Head’ compilation last year.

His Mixpak FM mix is made up entirely of releases from his respected Moombahton Massive EPs, 55 minutes of originals and remixes which are all available for free download over on his soundcloud.

It’s one of my favourite things when a new Moombahton release hits the internet. It’s even better when there’s something on there by The Father Of Moombahton himself, a man better known as Dave Nada.  Tittsworth and Ayres‘ label, T&A Records, has been inundating us with dope releases lately, including an EP by Nada called Kick Out The Jams, the already legendary Moombahton EP which includes the screwed-down I-shake-my-ass edit of ‘Riverside’ and his Punk Rock Latino EP. The time for more tropical substance by the hand of Nada has arrived and T&A have now put out a free EP with a selection of edits, remixes and reworks by Nada and comrade Nordstrom called the Rum & Coke EP.  There’s even a Moombahton edit on there of Sticky & Natalie Storm’s ‘Look Pon Me’, released on Mixpak! Dave Nada took the track, slowed it down, added some sweet percussion, chopped up the vocals, added his magical recipe to the entity and the result is madly different from the original. I love it. Decide for yourself and stream the track & download the rest of the EP here.

Nadastrom turned in a huge remix for Melé’s Bombay EP, so we thought we’d tap ‘em for our second Mixpak FM podcast. Needless to say, they went deep and delivered an hour of the freshest Moombahton and dancehall, giving us a big mix for the summer. Catch the vibe.

Club Infinity is back this month! Brought to you by resident DJs Dre Skull and Kingdom with Dave Nada (Nadastrom) playing a Moombahton set! The party will also feature an unannounced, very secret special guest.

WHEN : Saturday, July 24th
WHERE : Santos Party House :: 100 Lafayette St
DOORS : 11pm
AGE: 21+
COVER : $5 with RSVP // $10 without

Sunday July 4th, Tormenta Tropical comes to Brooklyn. This is a cumbia, bass, dancehall, and tropical jams megamix of a party with DJ sets from Dave Nada, Jubilee, Dre Skull, Disco Shawn, Oro11, Uproot Andy, Matt Shadetek, Geko Jones and Jillionaire! Full details here.

Going against the grain of speeding up old songs into overhyped club-tracks on steroids, Dave Nada’s new project MOOMBAHTON transforms tropical and dutch house tracks to intoxicating slow burners by slowing down the BPM and stretching out the sound. The result sounds effortless and thoroughly enjoyable.

Also worth a read is this story about MOOMBAHTON originating in his cousin’s basement during a “skipping party” before it got busted by the cops. If it’s not enough to convince you that Dave Nada is one decent dude, would the fact that he’s giving away a five track EP of Sidney Samson & Afrojack re-edits do it for you?
