At NOW’s NXNE showcase, Toronto DJ Lucie Tic’s featuring her moombahton collection and not her usual eclectic house sound.

Moombah-what? The barely year-old style lives primarily on the internet, but a recently released compilation on Mad Decent by sound creator Dave Nada gave it a big boost.

Moombahton is electro house slowed down to reggaeton speed and mixed with elements of Latin dance music. The drastically slower tempo completely changes familiar tracks and tends to sensualize club bangers.

“I’m into percussive, organic dance music, and the 95-to-112-BPM range really gets me going,” Tic says.

“It’s basically the only really North American genre since disco, and it’s already being played globally after only one year.”
