Kwest love!

The fact that Justin Bieber is allegedly featuring dubstep on his new album provides a cloudless view of the inevitable backlash sitting, arms-crossed and biding it's time on the not so distant horizon. So it's easy to image the ever creeping sound of Moombahton, a cross between Dutch house and reggaeton which emerged from the imagination of Dave Nada in 2009, in a Rocky training montage as it prepares for its shot at the crown.

Since it's WMC time, we have an exclusive 'Winter Moombah Conference' compilation from DC-based Jon Kwest. With Kwest picking out 15 tracks from key-players like Pickster & Melo, Cam Jus, Boyfriend and Apt One, plus a handful of his own productions, it's an eye-opener to the breadth of the sound which takes in dubstep, Latin cumbia, soul, bashment and hip-hop, and is curently making it's way into Europe from its US roots. So go slow and get low.
