CULTURED IN INTERNATIONAL MUSIC JARGON?

In english… When a dj can’t beatmatch 2 songs together we conveniently call it a TRAINWRECK!  Properly suited towards the action I presume!   I’m proud to say I’ve officially bumped trainwreck out of my vocab and replaced it with a much more suitable descriptive.  While in Panama having dinner aIndigo I learned their descriptive word for trainwreck is PATACONES!  Thanks to Ivan Escala, trusted party promoter and sweetheart from Panama City/Reload Nightlife — Smash that plantain/banana, then fry it up!

Patacones aka Smashed n Fried Bananas

Although some tend to say patacones are an untasty traditional dish… much like a trainwreck can be untasty,  i beg to differ.  I love fried plantains, and I also don’t mind hearing a dj patacone a mix!  Call it ironic, but I find it tastefully refreshing.

Wondering what the people in Iceland use to describe a patacones?
