Munchi unites a movement with the Summer of Moombahton compilation


It's customary to receive gifts on your birthday. On his cumpleaños, moombahton pioneer Munchi flipped the script, releasing Summer of Moombahton, a compilation of the greatest hits of a genre still in it's infancy.

The comp is split into two discs: "Past" and "Future," a concept that is a little preposterous for a style that is less than a year old. However, with the fervor that moombahton has captured the zeitgeist of the electronic music scene, it's not totally inappropriate. We're already seeing the sound evolve, with producers introducing elements of cumbia, Baltimore club, and hardcore.

Summer of Moombahton hits the touchstones of the genre, and its perfect for newbies and completists alike. Most of these songs are available elsewhere, but it's great to see all of these DJs working on a free project and coalescing the movement. TGRIOnline declared this the summer of moombahton, and this mix only confirms it.
