Popping up randomly on MySpace, on blogs, or in person behind turntables, the Netherlands-based Dj and producer is quite the mysterious act. His work has infiltrated many scenes, from underground to mainstream, as he recently worked with the likes of M.I.A and Skrillex.&nbsp; But still, his early work experimenting with moombahton and other niche genres can be hard to find.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=723349453\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=19470655\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com\/album\/i-love-mambo-mixtape-mambo-detonao-ep\">I Love Mambo Mixtape + Mambo Detonao EP by Munchi<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in October 2010, this musical innovator unveiled on Quam\u2019s site the <em>I Love Mambo Mixtape<\/em>, a one-hour curiosity of Dominican mambo with a spin. The mix takes on the frantic rhythms of the Caribbean and infuses it with raunchy reggaeton vocals and the artificial touch of daw-generated accents, topped with impeccable transitions for a one-of-a-kind result. Twelve years later, Nyege Nyege Tapes and Munchi himself dug into his archives and the <em>I Love Mambo Mixtape <\/em>is getting a new release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release will take the shape of a double opus including new material from the genre-bending DJ: <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com\/album\/i-love-mambo-mixtape-mambo-detonao-ep\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com\/album\/i-love-mambo-mixtape-mambo-detonao-ep\" target=\"_blank\">I Love Mambo Mixtape + Mambo Detonao EP<\/a><\/em>. The second part, an unheard-of extended play, \u201c<em>is a collection of unreleased material recorded in Rotterdam between 2008 and 2010, and is among the most experimental, minimal and uptempo material Munchi has put his name to. Here he purposefully approximates the kind of jerky, plasticated speed dance that used to dominate the Dominican scene, offering his own spin on the mambo sound. Each track is unsettlingly clean, assembled from detuned toybox pianos, radio sting voices and cheap, groggy horns<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 Early fans and newcomers will get to enjoy Munchi\u2019s early creations via <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/tag\/nyege-nyege\/\">Nyege Nyege Tapes<\/a> on December 2nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1010\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-1010x1010.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-1010x1010.jpeg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-759x759.jpeg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-661x661.jpeg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-465x465.jpeg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-375x375.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-200x200.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-85x85.jpeg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi-73x73.jpeg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/I-Love-Mambo-Munchi.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netherlands-based DJ Munchi is giving his early work a fresh release.
