Moombah what? Moombahton!
We here at Crossfade have been geeking over this quirky style of tropical bass music all year. And locals like DJ-producer SomeJerk and the good folks at (((SHAKE))) are giving us plenty of reason to with their monthly Moombahton Over Miami party at the Vagabond.
Plus, the moombah scene is getting big enough that it earned its own heavyweight WMC party last March, Miami Moombahton Massive, with none other than Diplo and his label Mad Decent as co-sponsors.
As the foremost local producer of the genre, SomeJerk is definitely an authority on moombahton. So we decided to pick his brain and find out what exactly this sound is all about ahead of his Friday debut performance at Space with 12th Planet, DJ Laz, Juan Basshead and others.
