"Mid-tempo global bass."

Anyone heard/like this?

Sounds like pretentious nonsense to me.

 

[Morbyd]

Examples?

 

[hauskitten]

Is that the stuff thats meant to be like slowed down house or is that another thing?

 

[hauskitten]

Well thats what Annie Mac called it I heard it a couple of months back on her show, just the one tune - it was alright I suppose but I can't really judge from just one

 

[West London Shadow]

Yep... started off with house slowed to circa 108 bpm...

Lots of it on youtube... mostly sh*t edits.

Moombahton (pronounced /ˌmoombaˈtoʊn/) is a genre of electronic dance music that was created by American dj/producer Dave Nada [1] at a high school homecoming "skipping party" for his younger cousin in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 2009.[2] The specific event that stimulated NADA's development of the Moombahton genre was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song "Moombah" to 108 beats per minute. Because that tempo nears that of the reggaeton, Nada created the neologism "Moombahton" by combining the title of the track "Moombah" and the "ton" ending of the word "reggaeton" and applied it to his new genre.

DC spawned a genre!

I don't think that's happened since Go-Go or maybe harDCore.
