Moombaton production & DJ two-piece Sazon Booya made up of NYC natives Mr.Vega & DJ SAV, have been making substantial waves across the blogosphere with their original moombahton productions since the beginning of 2011, and they've received countless nods of respect from top tier tastemakers from around the globe ever since.Sazon Booya debuted their first track "IIuvia" via moombahton creator Dave Nada's soundcloud and website, to much success; instantly gaining play support from Munchi, Heartbreak, DJ Sabo, Obeyah, Skrillex, Boyfriend, Fellow and of course Dave Nada himself. Sazon Booya continued making news-worthy moves by dropping the first ever Moombahton video for their single "La Bomba" which no-less zealously premiered on their friend Skrillex's Facebook page shared by over 1.7 million fans. With over 17k views to the video, they followed up on July 4th, 2011 with their 7-track-deep debut EP titled "La Bomba". The "La Bomba" EP soared as far as #14 on Beatport's top 100, placing among the likes of Zedd, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, Feed Me, Crookers, Mord Fustang and more.

As of late, Sazon Booya have been furiously at work on their forthcoming EP featuring collaborations from Toxic Avenger (IHeartComix), Zuzuka Pondersa, Anna Yvette (Atlantic Records), and Amy Douglas (Top Billin). The EP is set to drop early 2012, while their eager readiness to drop their forthcoming releases corresponds conveniently well with their massive show with Nadastrom and Digitalism at Webster Hall on December 2nd. Their 3rd music video, "Cochinas" premiered at the beginning of October on globally renowned label/blog Mad Decent along with a brand new Sazon remix of Skylar Grey's Dance Without You to celebrate the debut.

Between countless marathon studio sessions and miscellaneous high-profile video projects, Sazon Booya have traveled the states and parts of Europe playing with top acts such as Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, Skrillex, Zedd, Nadastrom, Porter Robinson, Munchi and more; as well as on a majority of the Moombahton Massive dates, playing amongst every established name in the Moombah realm.

Fully amped to rack up some more frequent flyer miles, Sazon Booya have confirmed more than a dozen dates that they will be joining the North American cross continent bass-laden coup d'état that is the almighty MOTHERSHIP TOUR, spearheaded by Skrillex, and joined by industry heavy weights, 12th Planet, Foreign Beggars, Nadastrom, and more.

★ Biography ★

James Smith, aka High Maintenance, may appear a relative newcomer to the drum and bass world, but he did not need time to catch the attention of some of biggest names in the game. Shortly after releasing some digital tracks in 2009, this producer's producer began to hear his tunes on John B's podcasts; it wasn't long before he was sought after by a number of respected drum and bass labels. In early 2011, High Maintenance opted to sign onto Shimon's AudioPorn Records and DisasZt's Mainframe Recordings, kicking off with a tremendous remix of Ed Rush and Tali's "Dark Days," the lead track from Tali's forthcoming album.

High Maintenance began his ascent into music at the age of thirteen with the guitar. "I'd put on an album and learn it all in an hour." When this became banal, High Maintenance decided to pick up a new instrument: the drums. Soon the fifteen-year-old maverick and his newly formed band began playing events in his hometown of Haywards Heath, England. Writing tracks with the band gave him his first taste of his own musical abilities, but having to compromise on his aural vision proved frustrating. "I just wanted to compose a whole piece by myself without having to rely on other people," he says, "so I started producing."

High Maintenance soon became impressed with the sounds coming out of the electronic music scene, which lead to his first production: a remix of Daft Punk's "Harder Better Faster Stronger." The realization that he could turn his love of music into a career didn't come about until a number of years later though, when he produced a track entitled "Sun Flares" (forthcoming on DisasZt's Mainframe label). "It was the first track that I had produced through active monitor speakers. They definitely changed my life."

Aided by the support of YouTube channels such as SkankandBass and Neurofunkgrid, High Maintenance found that drum and bass DJs and aficionados quickly embraced his energetic and heady tunes. "I like to make loud and rowdy tracks with screamy bass, but that still use nice musical melodies," High Maintenance says. "It gives the music two kinds of emotions."

In spite of the rapidity with which his tunes have been embraced by the drum and bass world, High Maintenance is not content to simply make a big tune and rest on his laurels. Pushing to master all aspects of the music that he loves, he is educating himself in everything from mixing and mastering to live recording of bands to composition.
