Best Clubs For Moombahton In LA

When electronic dance music guru Dave Nada fathered moombahton in 2009, the Los Angeles resident gave rise to an explosive music sub-genre that has swept the world's dance clubs like a monstrous firestorm.

"There are lots of cumbia and hip-hop mixes these days," said west coast turntablist DJ Shapeshifter. "That's what I play." While the sexy sounds of this nouveau trend continue to transmogrify into what has become a colorful coat of many arms, here is a select list of where to hear this music as it develops.
