DC music video of the day! We’re taking a break from the traditional music videos today to teach you a thing or two about Moombahton. To educate the nation about the hottest new trend in underground dance music, the fine folks at Mad Decent have produced a video to introduce you to DJ Dave Nada and his musical love child. As part of its two year anniversary week madness, the U Street Music Hall hosts Moombahton Massive XIII tonight with Dave Nada himself and his counterpart Matt Nordstrom (Nadastrom), Sabo and Toddla T. You can see from this video how sick this party will be, so don’t miss it!
