Christmas is coming this weekend and a lot of producers and dj’s are dropping freebies so here’s a little roundup of the things you MUST get before closing the 2011 chapter.

1. Bombaman – Some Swell view VIP [for the ravers]

dl link HERE

Bombaman drops some other free tracks on his soundcloud but this one is the most powerful, the original version was already sick but this vip version adds a little unexpected twist to it.

2. J-Wow – Diva (W.OW. mix) [for the kuduro heads]

J-Wow from Buraka som Sistema and founder ot the much loved Enchufada records share this bootleg of Beyonce he did a couple of years ago: for the kuduro heads!

3. The Weeknd – Echoes of Silence [for the lovers]

The über hyped future rnb outfit the Weeknd share a free album containing great refixes of tracks by Michael Jackson or even April March!

Get the free album on their site http://the-weeknd.com/

4. Akwaaba – Sem Transporte compilation [another one for the kuduro heads]

Akwaaba’s manager was complaining yesterdayon twitter about the thing that 9 outta 10 tweets about kuduro were refering to Danza kuduro, and to fix this (but also for Christmas) they take us back to the roots of kuduro with some of the roughest tunes coming straight  from Angola on this great compilation. Name your price on bandcamp or get for free if you’re already broke 

5. Spoek Mathambo – Nombolo One

South-African stakhanovist/hyperactive dj/rapper/producer/fashion icon Spoek Mathambo shares with us his latest project Nombolo One. This project goes back to the original south-african kwaito sound.

Name your price or get for free:

6. Jumping Back Slash – 2 freebies [afrotronical kwaito]

To conclude this post we stay in South_Africa with one of my favorite producers around: jumping Back Slash. He shares with us two tracks to thank everyone who pushed his music forward in 2011. The first one is a dubby kwaito tune and the second pushes the bpm higher with a catchy kwaito bassline.

Everybody is doing it now but it doesn’t mean i have to stop spreadind the moombah vibes i like ain’t it? So here a few bangers i found out lately.

Let’s start with two “classic” moombahton tunes to warm you up:

Firstly we got Photo Romance from France who is releasing on Cocobass records soon:

Secondly we got Dany F that you may know for his famous cumbia tunes:

And now that you’re in shape to get your ass kicked with bass let’s get to the point of this post with these two huge moombahcore bangers.

One from Neki Stranac who has refixed Chuckie in a badass way:

And finally a newcomer (for me at least) named Victims, with a huge edit of Spitfire:

I don’t have much words to say about this release excepted that it’s amazingly good and it’s free!

Some of the most delicate moombahton editsand og’s around at the moment get it below on soundcloud: Phi Unit & Cousin Culo – SO EMOTIONAL

Random selection of downloadable tracks on soundcloud that fit perfectly for a Sunday morning.

And finally some tribal guarachero!

ps: be sure to follow 5kinAndBone5 they are going to get huge!

The inventors of moombahton aka Dave Nada and his partner in crime Matt Nordstrom under their outfit nadastrom are releasing for free a massive Ep courtesy of Scion A/V. You can grab it here. It contains two enormous bangers: I!! and Say my Name with Munchi!

Check the very cool video for I!!

And the infamous Neki Stranac, who always seems unhappy with the original speeds of any new track, did a house refix of I!! which is pretty rad too:

This blog is not dead yet, i had a lot of troubles lately, (computer got stolen and shit) but i will be back on track and update this blog like before.

The Subs were supposed to play this Saturday at Pukkelpop which was cancelled by the tragedy we all know. I arrived there on Thursday just after the storm with some friends and it was really crazy, the scene was apocalyptic with people that seemed to be lost without any means of communication (cell phone network was on overcapacity)…  Anyways the Subs recorded this mix dedicated to the Pukkelpop audience here is what they have to say about it:

Pukkelpop. After being there on thursday and seeing it all happen, we felt like giving something to you. So Instead of a concert today, we give you a mix, with slowed down versions of our current favourite tracks. It is dedicated to the Pukkelpop audience and everybody involved in this drama. Our thoughts are with you. We still can’t believe this happened.
