Every year for the past few years has been heralded as the year Moombahton comes back. And every year some Moombahton records make waves but ultimately the genre never fully re-ignites. It looks as though Dillon Francis may be trying to change that with his new release ‘Ven’. The track blends Dillon’s Moombahton roots with the continually growing Latin Trap sound. Arcangel & Quimico Ultra Mega come through to drop Spanish rap bars over a hypnotizingly slapping mid-tempo beat. “You don’t have to understand a word of the verses, because that drop is like the universal New York anthem-whether you’re American or Dominican. You could hear it on the dance floor and just not give a fuck what anyone thinks,” says Dillon Francis. It’s hard to disagree. I don’t understand one word but this is the most excited I’ve been for a Dillon Francis song in a few years. Making the release even sweeter is news that this is the first single off his upcoming Spanish Language/Moombahton album. If this track has the impact I expect, Moombahton just might return as big as ever for 2018.
