Out this week, the latest installment in the Generation Bass moombah EP series, this time from Balkan electro kings Shazalakazoo. Balkan music is a natural bedfellow for Moombahton - Balkan club tunes have been hovering around 100bpm dembow territory for years. Shazalakazoo are the perfect guys to push the combination forward - as a pair they've been at the forefront of electronic Balkan music for the last 5 years or so, without relying on the same tired old brass samples, and of course on his own Neki Stranac, one half of Shazalakazoo, is one of the biggest names in the Moombahton scene.

With this EP Shazalakazoo bring us 4 solid original moombalkan bangers. Title track Bang! deftly twists Balkan brass into Dutch pitchbending, and is probably the stand out tune of the set. Balkan sounds aren't all that's thrown into the Moombah mix here though; MC Gi lends some Baile Funk style vocals to Danca Do Facao, whilst Neki's Tune follows a more straight up Moombahton template. Rojo Rubi, with vocals from MishMish, sticks fairly close to a pre-Moombah Balkan sound - this is basically vintage Shazalakazoo, with a few extra synth stabs & pitch bends thrown in - an excellent vehicle to take you from the Balkans to Moombahland.

On remix duties: SaBBo puts Danca Do Facao through his Deepaton filter (grab this one below) and Bert On Beats pitches Bang! up into Kuduro territory to fairly devastating effect.

Cripes: 2 mixes from me in 2 weeks, that's got to be a record. This time around it's global bass with the focus shifted away from the organic and traditional to the futuristic and digital. Well mostly. A Moombah-Afro-Kwaito-Funky-Grimey-Kudurave adventure.

Heartbreak gave away the stems to his Moombah classic Blaze Up the other day and you know I had to hop on that bandwagon... so here's my remix. I figured everyone was gonna do a moombah mix so I went off on a bit of a random one:

Heartbreak & Toddla T - Blaze Up (andykisaragi remix) by andykisaragi

This is amazing. From 50 seconds into Pyramid, an enormous, oppressive wall of kuduro-trance, you just know this EP is gonna be epic. 6 tracks of "deep and grim Post-Kuduro excellence" as Hat & Hoodie described it... who are you to resist it eh?

FUCK YEAH. she's still the fucking coolest.

Out now! Including my kuduro-funky-dub-trance mix, plus dub, dubstep and electro mixes from Zion Train, Steela and Polcari.

Rockin (as always) new mix from the R8 crew full of their unique Sheffield wobble... Some 4x4/funky/dubstep/kuduro action with authentic Yorkshire vocals from Walker & Dubzee, packed with exclusive dubs from R8 as well as big tunes from Buraka, Caspa & Rusko & more... (update...) I wrote this before getting to track 18 (which is freakin awesome, incidentally, insanely organ-wobble-tastic) which spins back into TKR's Polar, and the mix then continues off into blissful, chilled out dub/step territory, unexpected but amazing... check it out!!

Download it here, and check out Deadman's blog for more R8 action.
