This Saturday we welcome The Bladerunners. They are from Boston but even if you’re a die-hard Yankees fan, we discourage you from throwing batteries at them when they man the turntables. If you’re a big rap nerd like I am then you remember ‘Runners member DJ 7L from the boom-bap duo 7L and Esoteric; the Bladerunners channels that type of energy and focus into 80s-style razor blade tape edits (think Latin Rascals). Nothing escapes their blade. Witness the dopeness that is their Super 7 Mix:

Best of Munchi Mix by Dirty South Joe (right click “save target as”)
In the spring of 2010, an unknown kid from the Netherlands named Munchi sent Dave Nada a handful of Moombahton tracks, which he passed around to his friends. Since then, Munchi has gone from being a few DJs’ best kept secret to a highly sought-after producer. He’s been cranking out monthly promo EPs all year, and when Tittsworth and I reached out to him about doing an EP on T&A, he sent us everything from Baltimore Club, Kuduro, Baile Funk and Cumbia to House, Breakcore and deep Dubstep. But genre labels do Munchi a disservice, as every track combines elements from different styles and influences. A Dominican kid living in Rotterdam, he has been making reggaeton with Dutch influences since way before Dave coined Moombahton, and all sorts of weird shit before “Tropical” became a blanket term for the global bass movement. Simply put, he’s our favorite new producer and his tracks are fucking insane. Dirty South Joe agrees, so he whipped up a live mix of Munchi favorites, including a bunch of tracks off Munchi’s Murda Sound EP (out Nov 2) and as-yet untitled album coming on T&A this winter.
Munchi will be making his debut in DC and LA this week: catch him at Moombahton Massive on Oct 27 at U Street Music Hall and Friday, Oct 29 at the Dance Right x Mad Decent party at the Standard in LA.
