Pasquale's Moombahton Mayhem


Yet another new genre akin to reggaeton, "Moombahton" although sprouting out of D.C. belongs almost exclusively to the Web (in particular soundcloud).

Thick, spread-out bass lines, dramatic builds and a two step pulse with quick drum fills is what characterizes the sound. Sometimes, there are ravey synthesizers or even acid lines. Occasionally there are acappella rap samples. Mostly it permeates a reggaeton/Latin flavor, with a side order of heavy European influence. But whatever you say it is, it certainly is a new way to bounce.

An offspring of the immense 'culture-hopping' taste that music so often brings to the table, 'Moombahton' distinctly has alot of airmiles, taking influence from all over the globe. And that's what makes it so refreshing. Even though tempos are way down to 100bpm sometimes the energy is still there.

So our main man Pasquale has dipped his toes into the Moombah waters and come out of the pool with a fresh new mix to try and teach you Loughborough kids what it's all about. Get ready for something different with an altogether global flavour!
