Mixpak FM: DJ Sabo

fm11_021-2fm11_021-2

Mixpak 021 is brought to you by Sabo, DJ, producer and head of Sol Selectas records. The now LA-based triple threat is well known for his inspired mix of genres, from Cumbia to Miami Bass but along with Dave Nada, Sabo was one of the pioneering producers behind Moombahton, responsible for the Moombahton Massive parties and the accompanying 4 EPs that helped showcase their creation to the world. He’s transformed House of Pain, Benga & Coki and Jamie XX into 108bpm moombahton club hits, created originals that are now genre staples, and his rework of Dennis Ferrer’s ‘Hey Hey’ made it onto Mad Decent’s ‘Blow Your Head’ compilation last year.

His Mixpak FM mix is made up entirely of releases from his respected Moombahton Massive EPs, 55 minutes of originals and remixes which are all available for free download over on his soundcloud.

You can subscribe to Mixpak FM via iTunes, subscribe with an RSS reader from the Mixpak FM site or download this mix directly.

Vintage Video: SL2

SL2’s video for “On A Ragga Tip” is a serious jungle blast from the past. This track and other early Break-Beat and Hardcore tunes (including an early Prodigy cut) can be found on XL Recordings’ sixth Chapter Compilation, The American Chapter which was released in 1993.
