Villa Diamante - ZZK Records Mixtape (MP3)

You might have caught a whiff of the ZZK Records stank thats been going around for a month or so. With a crucial nod from Diplo the Argentinian sound is poised to become next year's Baile Funk - stay tuned for a genre name! But regardless of the hype - peep the game they've got going on down under! A mix-up of the some Aregntine representative cuts from Villa Diamante as well as other gems from the ZZK catalog. The sound is hard to describe - a reggaeton beat is at the base of most of it - but then there is a def. Cumbia Digital sound as well as your standard crunked up sound that is moving the floor worldwide. Check it out - for future reference!

Genres: argentina, cumbia digital, hip-hop, reggaeton

La Ola De Calor - Blogariddims 23 (MP3)

A pinch of latin flavor heats up this badass set from the UK's Heatwave DJs (La Ola de Calor). And don't worry it is not a Reggaeton only mix! That seems to be the fatal flaw to most reggaeton/dancehall DJs. Last time I was in Puerto Rico it was great to hear all kinds of Reggaeton pumping out of every store, car, bar, etc. But then on Day 5 it started to take on the form of torture! Every song has the exact same "bum badum bup" beat! Well this is NOT the case in this dope mix. Heatwave takes us all around the latin reggae landscape with cuts from Ini Kamoze en espanol to the definition of contemporary Reggaeton Pitbull. A must listen!

Genres: dancehall, latin, reggae, reggaeton

Wayneandwax - Reggaeton "Dem Bow" mix (MP3)

Back in the 90's Armand van Helden's remix of Tori Amos' "Prof. Widow" can be seen as the DNA of Speed Garage (which led to today's Grime/dubstep/etc). The Winstons "Amen" break was the backbone to the sound of drum and bass. And now Shabba Ranks "Dem Bow" riddim (which was a refix to begin with) can be cited as the cornerstone of Reggaeton as we know it. Check out this mix citing the impact through dancehall and "reggae-tawn" of the Dem Bow riddim. A fascinating listen as well as a groovy set filled with some floorfilling PR jams.

Genres: dancehall, reggae, reggaeton
