This album, like the rest of the albums by Longshore, are the alter-ego of Mike Dion, using ideas, samples, loops and other musicians mostly from Europe.

‍The name Longshore stems from his upbringing in Philadelphia.  Longshore is the street where he was raised.

The original notion came from Art Johnson, Mike's partner at ITI, and Mike to record other forms of music that could include jazz but would be based on international cultures and musical concepts.  To this end, ITI has released Religious, Arabian, Dance, Hip Hop, Bollywood, Christmas, Viking, Chill, Reggae, Classical, Soundtrack, Meditation, and Thematic albums in the past.

Reggaeton became a modern style of popular and electronic music, originating in Panama during the late 1980s, becoming more prominent in the late 1990s and 2000s, through mainly Puerto Rican musicians. It evolved from the dancehalls of Jamaica, encompassing hip hop from the U.S. , Latin American, and Caribbean music.  Vocals included rapping and singing in Spanish.  It's signature beat is called “dem bow” and sung in Spanish.

The music moved into Miami and followed its way into the Southwest of the United States, including Los Angeles Mexican and Spanish Communities.

Part of this family of music is Moombahton, which is an electronic dance music genre,  that  derived from house music and reggaeton, and was created by American DJ and producer Dave Nada in Washington, D.C.
