Now at the tender age of three and at a critical point in the genre’s development, one of moombahton’s most beloved producers has taken things to another level to keep the global sound’s winning ways alive. Formerly known as Mr. Vega of the now defunct Sazon Booya, the newly re-christened Ricky Vaughn is bringing the heat as he boldly prepares to take the reigns in the increasingly mainstreaming game of electronic dance music. Vaughn’s debut release, “The Sazon Archives” – not unlike his character namesake – is a major league compilation of sounds that is, indeed, a very wild thing.

While a member of Sazon Booya, Vaughn’s work as a production mastermind developed and evolved into one of moombahton’s signature sounds. Boisterious, sensual and large enough to overpower the underground and keep festivals like New York City’s Electric Daisy Carnival thirsting for more. The nine tracks included in this compilation reflect the passion that Vaughn has for the sound, as well as an idea of the depth and scope of his future plans. Aware of the issues surrounding the end of his previous partnership, the “Sazon Archives” is a bold step ahead into a future that remembers the incredible parties of the past while fully aware of the peak-hour mayhem to come.

Searing poly-rhythmic melodies combine with intense basslines meant to turn hips into pendulums on tracks like the hip-hop sampling “AutoCannonz” and bass bin destroyer with a hint of Latin flair “Raggaton Spice.” Names hot on the tongues of festival and EDM fanatics like ETC! ETC!, Kid Cedek and :DFACE alongside Vaughn’s frequent co-conspirators Otis Clapp and ATC make their presence known in top-shelf collaborative efforts. Furthermore, the trance-meets-rave style of an oft-mentioned moombahton don even gets an homage along the way on arena filler “Frillon Dancis.”

Just like the movie-icon baseball pitcher for which he’s named, with the “Sazon Archives,” Ricky Vaughn slams the door and seals the deal on not just the potential for excellence in moombahton’s future, but as to if his commitment to excellence and desire to maintain a spot at the forefront of global bass music’s most pop friendly revolution were in question. Bringing the heat with these jams with an expectation of many more wild things to come, Ricky Vaughn’s major league talent has arrived!

One of the most giving producers in the EDM world, Mr. Vega just keeps on with it by releasing his trap ep titled “Trap For The First Time”.  He describes his EP and the reason behind the name on his soundcloud, heres an excerpt from it;

‘Trap For The First Time is a title i chose as a play on Ludacris’s first industry album “Back For The First Time”. The album wasn’t his first but it was a reintroduction to the scene on a higher level. This EP isnt my first EP or my first attempt at “Trap” as i started making hip hop music 15 yrs ago and was semi-successful in that scene for years. Trap For The First Time is my reintroduction into this scene with the right people supporting the project.

The EP features my friend David Heartbreak on “Thai”, Otis Clapp, Kepstar, Dell Harris & KO-Lition on “I’m Livin’” and Jay Romance (my vocal alter-ego) on every track doing hooks and vocal cuts. I felt the one thing trap as a genre is missing is vocals to make them more songs instead of “hip hop instrumentals”. There’s a few people doing this but not enough, so i hope this project will push more people to follow suit.’

With support from top blogs like Mad Decent, TrapMusic.Net, The Dankles, Do Androids Dance + more, this EP is sure to make rounds and garner support from top DJ’s/Producers everywhere!  Soundcloud Link below + Video for Thai featuring David Heartbreak!

Mr. Vega has been known for constantly bringing heat and this track is no different.  Hitting you hard with a heavy bass, dirty dutch electro style synth, and a vocal chop saying Humans For Dinner has you feeling like your running away from zombies in the jungle.  On top of releasing this today on Beatport, hes generous enough to let it go for a free download on his soundcloud!  Make sure you stop by his Facebook page and tell him thank you!

Need I say more?

The following except is from the original article on MTV.com

Premiering right here and now, short film “Mayhem & Moombah” takes fans of Moombahton, an electronic mélange of EDM, reggaeton and hip-hop, through the first chapter of New York-based collective Sazon Booya’s career.

In just two years, what began as an experimental project between producers SAV and Mr. Vega has throttled into three EPs. With the addition of hypeman Mystereo, they’ve gained support from the likes ofSkrillex and Dillon Francis, and developed a full-blown touring schedule.

With a slower BPM (typically between 108 and 115) and a sexy latin-infused bouquet of sounds, Moombahton, and in particular Sazon Booya, underscores the “dance” in dance music, and the steady rise of this lesser-known form of EDM bubbled up in a big way last year.

The film was roughly shot over a year and was directed by SAV’s longtime filmmaker friend, Robert Dume. Sandwiched between cinematic performance moments lies a compelling narrative that charts the origins of the group and their name, the arrival of the frenzy inducing Lucha Libre mask donning Mystereo, and the future that lies before them.

In the film, we learn that the bind that initially connected the two SB members and Mystereo was, in fact, Skrillex: Vega was a producing friend, Mystereo was a Skrillex hype opener, and SAV was formerly Sonny Moore’s videographer.

“I got to experience so many things with him,” SAV says of Skrillex in the film. “Everything I learned from being alongside Skrillex, I applied to what we are doing now. That’s why I think a lot of success comes from those experiences, with him.”

Fans will learn that after loving the group’s first track, “Lluvia,” Moombahton creator Dave Nada wanted to add the song to his SoundCloud page , and urged SAV & Vega for a band name — and Sazon Booya was born.

Sazon Booya released the third EP Oye Mami via Rot10 Musik on Thursday (January 24) and the gents sent over an exclusive stream of their new collaboration with Mad Major Melvin, “Major Booyahton,” for all you fans to enjoy.

One of the most anticipated releases of the new year has finally dropped on our label today.  Vocalist/Producer The R.O.A.R brings you banging Moombahton with Rock type vocals on his Touchdown title track.  Along with the original, Mr. Vega brings you a Dutch-Electro style remix to the table (which is free on his soundcloud),  Aire Atlantica brings you a Big Room Electro style remix which is catching the eyes and ears of every blog imaginable, Kid Cedek brings you a dark but hyped Trap remix which clocks in at 165bpms for all the cool kids out their, and lastly Worm giving you a Progressive touch with his remix.  This EP screams for attention with all the unique sounds being brought to you.  So make sure you go support this today!

Lately I’ve made a point to write about things that are truly interesting in the moombahton world.   With all honesty,  larger blogs that cover a larger swath of genres have swooped in and now are able to entice moombahton artists to give them big exclusives, without having contributed to the movement or without any real understanding of it’s goals.   However, I’m not upset because moombahton doesn’t want a blog post, it wants the world. Today’s article is dedicated to two artists who are co-ordinating the worldwide takeover in their own, massively talented ways.

Steve Narvaez is one half of the talented indie group, The Fire and Reason. Both Steve and the lead singer for the Fire and Reason, Bella, have both provided lyrics for moombahton songs you are likely familiar with.  In their former lives however, they were really making some noise, winning awards like the NewNowNext “Brink of Fame” award which had previously gone to Lady Gaga (other nominees included Sam Sparrow, Lykke Li and LMFAO).  Larry T has done remixes for the Fire and Reason.  Are you starting to see why I am getting excited?

Well, that was then and this is now and Steve Narvaez is now working on a project called The R.O.A.R.  He first showed up on our radar at Moomba+ when we featured the massively infectious track entitled The R.O.A.R. “Emotion 32″ Chooky Remix.   Here is a link to that article. http://www.moombaplus.com/2012/12/11/the-r-o-a-r-emotion-32-chooky-remix-free-download/

The point of today’s article is to begin previewing The R.O.A.R.’s “Touchdown” release and do we have a treat for the Moomba+ readers.   This weekend, Steve and the incredibly talented videographer, Ellen Frances (www.ellenfrances.com), were on site shooting the video for “Touchdown” and we have an exclusive teaser for you.   Check T ROAR the Lion and get excited for this massive release on Rot10 Musik. I’m here to tell you your feet won’t touch the ground.
