Tips for creating the ultimate banging moombah beat? Also fucking loving this type of lead and would love to know how to make it http://soundcloud.com/elcucorecordings/ ... go-el-cuco (the kinda stab at the drop) and the diplo sounding stab after the growls at the drop Everyone feeling this genre as much as i do?

sorry for posting skrillex btw :L

moombah is shit, its even worse than brostep

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMt-XjzNTUE how can you say this is shit? :O entitled to your opinion though..

I love mumbatron!

it's cool and it's so slow you can really try to dance to it

mate that is just slow, shit, electro house, with brostep sounds, maybe its called moombah though i dunno, but i got the impression that moombah had a strict guidline of 108bpm with a reggaton beat, and some shit electro wobblefest noises over the top, this tune is just a slow 4 to the floor beat.

moombahs just slowed down house, theirs no strict guidelines and yeah it just makes you wanna fucking dance

haha, no, that is far from anything house, that tune has no raw groove to it at all

moombahCORE however is slowed down brostep

moombahs fucking jokes, the guy that made the first 'moombah' tune came up with the name himself, hes just begging it trying to start his own genre.

Why Moombahcore and not Moombahstep? When did that get voted on?

Hate it or love it it's always good to try something new.

Working on a "moombahcore" or whatever track right now.

I got some Hardmoombahcore sounds simmering.

couldn't agree more. so many people call things "house" who have NO IDEA what good house is supposed to feel like.

that j. rabbit track sounds like it was made for kids with ADHD drinking rockstars and playing call of duty

house is a soul thang.

one of my biggest pet peeves is when people call grooveless straight 16th electro bangerz, "House music," when honestly that style takes waaay more influence from trance than it does house.. why isn't it called electro trance?

-------------------
but i digress. in a big way. when moombah came out i hated it, but actually i've heard some people doing cool things with it lately. the moombahsoul 'movement' is particularly intriguing. still, i do find brostep-influenced moombah to be absolute trash, i'd rather claw out my eyes than listen to a whole set of it.

Good point. Actually though, the use of "electro" in there is also misleading inasmuch as the classic, 30-year-old meaning of electro is uptempo syncopated 808 beats and Afrofuturism, a.k.a. electrofunk, i.e. basically the syncopated forerunner of Detroit techno - nothing inherently to do with the saturated-synths sound of electro house - does anyone know how the latter term came about? From electroclash maybe, I feel like I read somewhere that that was so? I like to call the more discoey side of the electro-house realm, such as Ed Banger stuff, "power disco," a silly yet I think accurate name - I think it more clearly reflects the sonic influence of hard rock on the sound.

(So as not to go completely off post topic) "moombahton" is sillier though. As far as silly terms for slow house styles go I prefer Andy Stott's "knackered house."

Electro and house, with their original meanings, are both soulful and machine-funky genres. Electro house is more like a latter-day electronic body music or something, or trance as you said - the harder stuff is definitely more in that European quasi-martial dance continuum (Eurodisco, industrial/EBM, trance) than the American 4x4 tradition (disco, house and techno). Although to be fair some electro house tracks are quite funky - it's not a purely aggro style - when it combines metalism with soul or funk (which may be unknown in current electro house, I haven't really listened to the genre in about 4 years) it can be intriguing.

I'm not really an enthusiast of any of the hard dance styles, of which brostep (or moombahcore, now?) is the latest mutation, because of their lack of funkiness. I think dark garage may in that sense be their polar opposite, thank goodness Sully's around to spread that funky spirit.

Oh and curiously enough I've been working on a 108bpm house track today, before seeing this thread - but I think it's more slowed-down 4x4 garage than moombahton. (I think.)

Can't you just appreciate both sides of the genre(s)? Its the same thing thats going on with brostep nd dubstep, why not appreciate both? Listen to what you like, not what you thinks going to gain you rep. I can just as easily listen to a mala or synkro tune just as much as I can a flux pavillion tune

Lol this thread didn't get de-railed at all...


Anyway, OP, I find a nice way to get inspired while still working within the confines of a certain genre--in this case that 110bpm sound that's been popular lateley--pop that track on a separate mixer channel and map out transitions, where certain instruments come in an out, etc.
Try recreating some of the drum beats, synth stabs, etc in whatever synth your using--trying to recreate the whole song isn't a bad exercise to be honest. In the process you'll figure out your own way to make those sounds and they probably won't sound identical anyway (which is probably a good thing)

Then go open up a new song and try out what you learned, but without copying the song again, simply the song structure.

My two cents.

Great advice. I've been trying to do this recently, i love all this moombah stuff it's awesome. I've come up with some pretty interesting sounds along the way too so i'd recommend it.
