Populous - Moonbatons

Originally released digitally as two separate volumes in 2022, Wonderwheel is happy to present a 12 release of Populous' Moonbahtons - a collection of dark reggaeton and moonbahton style dance floor tracks influenced by the magic & mystery of the zodiac. Cuts inspired by the zodiac, magic, and mystery of the universe. Things kick off with Flauta Magica, focusing around the clave and a brooding synth line and a dembow style beat interweaving itself with the flute & a little bit of acid vibes for good measure, while Sapo, a distant, foreboding track with a monster of a beat & bassline complimenting a childlike fairy tale melody on top. On the flip, Glass Dubplate is a percussive track with emotive pads, a melody reminiscent of finger piano and synth bleeps, while Berlinese Dubplate goes into tougher, late night territory with deep bass, roiling percussion and dubby electronics.
