Thursday, December 3rd (((SHAKE))) welcomes the Art Basel visitors to Miami BASSel.
Get down to the sounds of New Orleans Bounce with a live performance by one of the first to do it, BIG FREEDIA (http://www.myspace.com/bigfreedia) and her DJ RUSTY LAZER! If you don't know, here's Wikipedia help...
"Bounce music is an energetic style of New Orleans hip hop music characterized by call and response style party and Mardi Gras Indian chants and dance call-outs that are frequently hypersexual."
We've also brought back DIRTY FINGER (Dance!! Attack!! - Brooklyn) who had every ass shaking last Basel (it will also be DIRTY FINGER's BIRTHDAY this night, so bring him gifts and cake). Our boy DS joins the out-of-towners in the big room for the bass insanity.
Hey all at Sweat Records, hope you & your family/friends are having a Happy Thanksgiving. We’ve got fabulous plans for the new year & hope you keep us posted on your plans too!
Drop a line & catch up soon,

With the silky smooth angelic vocals of Tiff Lacey any songs feels like a mystical experience and intimacy is not going to be any different; Tiff Lacey sounds like an Angel. Produced by Russia's Ex-plosion and Killing Remix by Uruguay's Gabriel Robella It's on TOP for TIFF LACEY and this track is very supported for big names worldwide. This remix have a cool melody keyboards created by Gabriel with a creative European drums & big groove lines on it. So, make a test for yourself and destroy the dancefloor.
BOUNCE! with us this Friday and every Friday after! Your resident bass selectors George Young, Methodus and somejerk will be playing the best in house, dubstep, electro and BASS all night long. No cover, drink specials and awesome music all night.

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
