			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/files/2011/01/massiveII.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-39006" title="massiveII" src="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/files/2011/01/massiveII-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>Yeah, you've heard a lot about Moombahton recently. Just go with it for now: The microgenre's inventor <strong>Dava Nada</strong> is in town for a short visit before he returns to L.A., and tonight he's spinning at the second Moombahton Massive party at U Street Music Hall, along with several other characters from my <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/40191/our-year-in-moombahton/full/" >recent cover story on the sound</a>. (Wait, what's Moombahton? Why, it's Dutch house music slowed so that it kind of resembles reggaeton. Or, in simpler terms: It's mid-tempo global bass.)</p>
<p>GOG Blog <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/goingoutgurus/2011/01/nightlife_agenda_parties_for_a.html" >says you should go</a>, and they're right. In case you need more convincing, here are some of the latest Moombahton tunes.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100%" height="225" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F513776&amp;show_comments=true&amp;auto_play=false&amp;show_playcount=true&amp;show_artwork=true&amp;color=b1f25a" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="225" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F513776&amp;show_comments=true&amp;auto_play=false&amp;show_playcount=true&amp;show_artwork=true&amp;color=b1f25a" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>The <em><a href="http://soundcloud.com/solselectas/sets/moombahton-massive-ep-ii/" >Moombahton Massive EP II</a> </em> features tracks from all of tonight's DJs&#8212;Nada, New York's DJ Sabo, Rotterdam's Munchi, and Charlotte, N.C.'s Heartbreak&#8212;and is a nice overview of the genre's possibilities, even if, like me, you're not quite capable of ethnomusicalogical reverse-engineering. Munchi's "Gracias" is has eased-out Latin guitar strums and a chill pace; Sabo's "Jump Around" blends with Moombahton with dubstep and, um, <strong>House of Pain</strong>; <strong>Nadastrom</strong>'s "Venga" is onto some air-raid shit.</p>
<p><span id="more-38977"></span></p>
<p><strong>Releaserpm feat. Lizzie Bougatsos (Nadastrom Moombahton Remix)</strong></p>
<p>For a recent remix, Nada's duo Nadastrom slowed "Releaserpm," a new song from producer <strong>XXXchange</strong>'s <strong>Win Win </strong>project, featuring <strong>Lizzer Bougatsos</strong> of <strong>Gang Gang Dance</strong>. So it's a win on bonafides alone. Also, it occasioned Moombahton's <a href="http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/15266-releaserpm-ft-gang-gang-dances-lizzie-bougatsos-nadastrom-moombaton-remix/" >first (I think!) mention on Pitchfork</a>.</p>
<p><strong><em>The Winter of Moombahton</em> mixtape</strong></p>
<p>Oh snap. This <a href="http://generationbass.com/2011/01/07/winter-moombahton/" >mixtape</a> assembled by <strong>DJ Melo</strong> has almost 30 Moombahton cuts (and some Moombahcore, and some Cumbahcore, and probably some other sub-subgenres), including tracks by every DJ spinning at UHall tonight, plus other D.C. names like <strong>Cam Jus</strong> and <strong>Obeyah</strong>.</p>
<p><em>Moombahton Massive II starts at 10 p.m. at U Street Music Hall, 1115 U St. NW. $10 ($5 with <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHFRbkVoRUNBN09ycl9iR0ZycE1hemc6MQ&amp;theme=0AX42CRMsmRFbUy1iY2E5ZGYyZi1iZTJhLTQ2ODUtYWZmNS04ZWFiZTRkNzk4NjA&amp;ifq" >RSVP</a>).</em></p>
