Review: Moska – Duma EP (2014)

Moska Brazil

Moska was not shy on merging various genres into single tracks with this EP. From Moombahton to Big Room and even a little Bounce and Tech house elements this three track EP is jam packed full of genres. What I really enjoyed about the EP was how Moska went about merging all these styles without it feeling ‘boxed’, everything just flowed so well you won’t even notice when those hips will begin to move.

Buy exclusively on Beatport

My personal favorite was the track for which the EP is named, “Duma” Although at times it does have a Big Room house sound, Moska didn’t over do it. The melody was like listening to 8-bit Punta or similar Afro-Latin tropical sounds — it’s a great merge of Electronic and Tropical Latin sounds. Moska really took advantage of his Colombian background on this track. If you don’t want to buy the whole EP, I would recommend “Duma” as a must have.

Rating: 4 / 5 Stars

Yellow Claw & Mightyfools – Lick Dat [Moombah/Kuduro/Trap]

Yellow Claw & Mightyfools - Lick Dat

When I first saw this track, I read that it was categorized as “trap” but, it couldn’t be further way from that. Yellow Claw and Mightyfools came together to make one hell of a unique track; combining Moombahton, Kuduro, and some trap elements at a Jumpstyle paced tempo. It is one of those tracks that when dropped at a show, all mayhem will break loose.

Gregor Salto – Samba Do Mundo (Remixes) [Full Stream]

Saxsymbol & Todorov Samba Do Mundo remixes

Moombahton to Bassy Deep House this remix EP of Gregor Salto’s “Samba Do Mundo” featuring Saxsymbol & Todorov is full of tracks that will have you movin’ and groovin’ My personal favorite was the Wiwek remix, a great mix between resonating kicks and Brazilian Samba elements at a 108 bpm.

Get it on Beatport (Sorry USA, we can’t get it yet)

Headhunterz Ft. Krewella – United Kids Of The World (Tony Senghore & Sebjak Remix) [Latin House]

9204567

Sebjak and Tony Senghore bring a little Latin/Caribbean funk with their remix of “United Kids of The World” It starts off a little slow but, I promise it gets better. The two producers dusted off their Moombah/Reggaeton sound library and put it to good use on this one — a refreshing break from the Big Room Remix mediocracy out there.

AJ Ramos of La Mega Radio 97.9 Represents the Next Generation of Latin Power Executives

AJLaMega1-300x300

Last week we caught up with Roberto Castillo, one of the quiet movers and shakers in the radio and entertainment industry.  We were talking about the political and buying power of the Latin population because they are now the largest minority in the U.S.  Their buying power is growing each day, but what we did not understand is why a lot of U.S. companies were hesitant or just not savvy enough to take advantage of this hot growing demographic.  While having this very important discussion we started talking about the many global opportunities for minorities and the “World Cup” came up in the conversation.  He informed us about the role Mega would be playing and how we may be able to work together to cover the games.  This sounded like a hot networking opportunity so he asked the station’s point man for the project to come down and meet with us.  After talking to this skilled and gifted brother, who just had so much going on, we felt a genuine need to do this interview and let him tell his story to the world.

Interview of AJ Ramos of La Mega Radio

Q– What going on my man?

A—I’m good thank you for the interview; I respect the Source a lot.

Q– Where were you born and now reside?

A—I was born in Jersey City, NJ and live in New York.  I also lived in Las Vegas for two years doing radio.

Q– I understand your family is from El Salvador, what is life like over there?

A—Yes, my family is from El Salvador.  Like in every third world country poverty, violence and corruption is taking over.  The percentage rate of secondary and higher education is declining.  You have to be careful there are a lot of kidnappings.

Q– There are a few violent gangs in the U.S. from El Salvador, what brought this about?

A—This is something I rather not talk too much about.  But the violent gangs in El Salvador basically run the country and let’s just say I guess they call it expansion.

Q– How did you get started in radio?

A—It’s a crazy story.  When something is meant to be, it is meant to be.  I was leaving the COPA CABANA on 34th street.  Thursday nights were 18 to party and I was 20 years old.  Some gorgeous blonde lady approaches my friend outside the club and asked him what he thought about the radio station.  He straight up started kicking it to her.  I answered the question as I was babysitting my boy.  I then went back to the car.  I saw the radio station as a vehicle to success so I went to the promo truck and asked them how can I get a job?  The driver tells me to wait for his boss.  The boss ended up being the gorgeous blonde.  The rest is history.  At the moment, I was pursuing a career as a lawyer and got accepted to Rutgers into the pharmacy program.  LOL.  Go figure.

David Heartbreak - Acid Youths (Rell The Soundbender Remix)

WOW. The mixing of different elements on this remix go together so well, it’s really quite amazing. At first you think its a beginning of a trap remix then, it’s transformed into a Reggaeton-Moombah remix afterwords, you think its about to go into a Baltimore Bounce drop as the buildup begins then, finally it ends with a trap drop. It’s quite the genre roller coaster. A must have if you’re a DJ or a fan of good remixes.
