Gent & Jawns – Holler (2012)

Washington DC – Gent and Jawns is what happens when two buds, Billy the Gent and Long Jawns combine forces and create club devastation. Their first release was arguably one of the most played and most sweated to moombahton tracks in existence, “Vibrate”. Now they have a new EP with us “Holler”, it’s a Moombahton hard hitter with a touch of New Orleans bounce that has seen support all over the moombah world. Now packed with mind melting remixes from Valentino Khan and Heartbreak it definitely a problem. We also see a huge b-side with this package, Gent and Jawns try their hand at 128 beats per minute and the result is the floor ready “Bugoff”. Sidechain heavy production with throaty synths, think Toadally Krossed Out but insects instead of Amphibians at the wheels.

Movie Trailer: Red Dawn (2012)

Washington DC – Film District is creating a modern version of the 1980’s classic, “Red Dawn”. The movie will be similar to the older one but, instead of Russians invading which was relevant to the time period, North Koreans (Personally I believe the Chinese would of been a better pick) invade Washington state. “Red Dawn” lanches nationwide on November 21, 2012 just a couple days ahead of Thanksgiving. Any thoughts on the movie based on the trailer? Leave your opinion in the comment box below.

Tego Calderón Unveils His New Video “El Sitio (The Spot)” on VEVO

Los Angeles, CA – Tego Calderón, one of the most respected rappers within the Latin urban genre, premieres the video for his new single “El Sitio” (The Spot). The single is part of the mixtape, ‘El Original Gallo del País – O.G. El Mixtape’ (The Original Rooster of the Country – O.G. The Mixtape), released last June which has garnered a remarkable amount of accolades.

The video was directed by Alexis Bousquet and was recorded in Santurce (Puerto Rico), which is a very special place for Tego Calderón. Both the song and video pay homage to Tego’s daily life and the people who inhabit this magical corner of Puerto Rico. Not only is it home to many people, but “El Sitio” (The Spot) is also where many of Tego’s stories, regarding his career and life, sprung from. Besides being his creative refuge, “El Sitio” (The Spot) is home to his recording studio.

The buzz about “El Sitio” (The Spot) began several months ago when copies of the single were handed out to the spectators of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, which is held every year in the streets of New York. This was documented and can be seen on Tego Calderón’s official website (www.tegoCalderon.com).

‘The Original Gallo del País – O.G. El Mixtape’ includes nine songs and has become quite a marvel, charting at the top of iTune’s Latin and Urban charts as well as positioning itself as one of the leading releases in digital sales. The mixtape includes the tracks: “Cierren” (Close It), “Robin Hood”, “Sin Usted Que” (Without You…What?), “Suerte” (Luck), “Se Ajuma” (She’s Tipsy), “Cosas Que Pasan” (Things That Happen), “El Sitio” (The Spot), and two collaborations, one with Arcangel in “Hablan de Mi” (They Talk About Me) and one with legendary Panamanian singer, Kafu Banton, in “Like We (Ay Dios Mío)” (Like We -Oh My God). This is the first record Tego has dropped since ‘Contra-Ataca’ (Counter Attack) which was released in 2008 and is being released through his record label, Jiggiri Records.
