i find that description unsatisfying. this is the sound of satanic lust pouring forth at midnight. the secret rhythms of santeria and voodoo. pagan drums and feeble screams emanating from little haiti and little havana. though there is nothing small about this.
miami is an interstitial space with a crossroads culture. it strides the gulf between the united states and latin america, europe and africa. where all the good drugs come from. its that somewhere between bogota, new york, amsterdam and LA. the end of the fucking earth. summed up in its sex, violence and otherness. miami isnt like florida. hell it isnt even like America. its devoutly catholic in the bible belt. jazz in a klan state. hard fucking on extacy in a state which outlawed sodomy. this aint orlando: always antiseptic with rolly coasters and happy, friendly yet never fucking rodents; miami is all fuck, all the fucking time.
enclosed is a cover of the greatest songs that the genre has produced. visually it is me being unable to figure out my camera. that is why its sideways. i may have been drinking.
