    Maggotron/DXJ/Basstech DXJ, et al, have been throwing down the Super Ultra Heavy Intergalactic Electro Funk n' Bass Jams from 1982 to the present day. Maggotron's musical vision and original, unique approach to Electro style music stands on its own while at the same time building upon South Florida's long and rich history of creating music that makes people around the world feel as if they too were in Miami enjoying the tropical sunshine, or dancing in some dimly lit club and steeped in various influences; the music of Maggotron and the entire Miami Bass Mob can be enjoyed on various levels! .. Internationally known, Miami Bass, Electro or Street Music has influenced and is the forerunner of Breakbeat, Crunk, Ghetto-Tech and other genres of music.

Source: Allmusic.com Please Note!: It has come to the attention of my self and others in this genre that at times in print and other media sources that I Maggotron /DXJ/ James MCCauley Invented the genre of Miami Bass - do not get it twisted - No one purely of their own accord "invented it" especially not me, the "Miami Street Music/Electro /Bass" scene has had many talented people involved in it as it progressed through the various styles and flavors of the artists and producers, if I had to name a ground zero though for the genre - I would defiantly state that Amos Larkins is that ground zero - NOT Pretty Tony, NOT Luke, Not any one else that many try to mention. The Miami music Tree ( in terms of the recording business - Record Labels etc) is very simple: Henry Stone's contributions are absolute historical fact. Amos Larkins was part of Henry's Empire . Also, Amos Larkins credited or un-credted was on so many of the Early Releases of the Genre in one form or another it is not even close, if there is a ground zero Amos is it. But I digress.... ****************
