Folcore

Tradition and family run deep in the Moombahton scene. The seasonal Moombahton compilations started by Munchi in the Summer of 2010 kicked off a tradition. As the seasons change a different Moombahtonista curates a compilation that takes a snap shot of the scene and the producers making noise at that time. David Heartbreak followed with the Fall Of Moombahton in 2010, DJ Melo with the Winter Of Moombahton in 2010, Lightning Eyez with the Spring Of Moombahton in 2011, and Munchi with Verano Del Moombahton in the summer of 2011. Pickster from Phoenix, Arizona has taken the baton and put together the Fall compilation for 2011.

The Rise Of Moombahton “Today We Were Kings”. Everybody is a king or queen for at least one day in their own world. Whether you’re on top of the game or just coming up and hitting that first milestone, were all kings or queens for a day. With that said, the comp showcases some OG Moombahtonistas that have been there from the beginning, as well as some young up and comers. Pickster, not feeling the name The Fall Of Moombahton, instead called the Fall compilation The Rise Of Moombahton, feeling it to be a better fit for this rising genre.

Lurking between the sharp thorns of a cactus plant and 300 feet high clouds of dust in a sandstorm lies the AZ Gunslingaz. A group of young Moombahtonistas from Phoenix Arizona. In an effort to put a southwest stamp on the fast rising Moombahton Scene, DJ/Producer Pickster compiled an EP of edgy and contemporary Moombahton/Moombacore tunes from DJ Melo, Mendez, Sluggo, Riot Earp, and himself.

Each producer brings their own Arizona vibe and style to the table, DJ Melo with his latin percussion bass, Mendez and Sluggo with their DNB-Dubstep influenced El Cuco Recordings, Riot Earp with his jump up in your face style, and Pickster with his heavy drum, synthy, big room sound. This is just a snapshot of what's going on in Phoenix right now. Other Moombahtonistas are popping up all over the Arizona scene as you read this. In an effort to kick up dust and bass bins at the same time the Gunslingaz EP presents a Southwestern, desert, gun shootout, party theme.

Instead of bullets they use sharp synth lines and deep bass tones in an effort to help define a unique Arizona Moombahton sound. Maybe in the near future you'll see lowriders in Phoenix cruising by bumping bass filled Moombahton tunes instead of oldies, you never know.
