Guest james stratus Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Other than freestyle, there's really no electronic music tradition in Miami. As far as dance music, our "tradition" is still fairly recent in comparison to New York or Chicago.Not even Freestyle, that is still New York!!!!!!! And if anyone says Latin House is the Miami Sound they are an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xmuzik Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 I dont think miami really has a sound , its a little but of everything & the answer you get really depends on who you asking.Miami is in unique position for a american city because it takes sounds from all over the world and makes them cool , hip , trendy, & easily accessable to the mainstream masses. It does all that and still manages to keep its credibility with dj's & producers from around the world as a place that they can always keep their ear to the ground & they will find some new type of sonic hidden treasure.In my opinion thats way more tricky & a way better position to be in instead of being known for a particular synth lick or bassline wave that will burn out in 6 months to a year.Detroit , Chicago, & NY in the early part of the 21st century can't claim something like that mostly in my opinion because they don't have the beautiful beaches , women, etc. that miami has. .Miami is a place that woos people into the sound because people come to the city regardless of the music because its a beautiful place & they find great music becuase their minds are naturally open to it in such a place that is as close to paradise as many of us will know in this life.In short Miami is the city of the rockstars of 21st Century ... it is the pleasure & the pain , the agony & the ecstacy , it is heaven with a seedy underbelly that is hell.In many ways Miami has become a place that could literally morph for america electronic music into a mecca like what Seattle was for grunge , what L.A. was for glam rock, or what hip hop was for NY.The pieces all seem to be coming together , it really just needs some kind of spark to set it all off.If you don't believe me just look around one day or make a list of all the stuff going on Coojunkie , the clubs , A3 , Satellite radio , DJ's & Producers from all over the world , the record labels , etc. etc. etc.the list goes on & on , just like your favorite song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if anyone says Latin House is the Miami Sound they are an idiot.+1If you have DJ's saying ignorant shit like that, imagine what the clueless souls are saying. It really annoys me when Ivano says that the Miami sound has a latin "tribal" sound. WTF is that? That's bullshit. We all know where tribal came from. Miami dj's play house records from all over. Miami just adopted house music from other areas. The producers make the songs based on a successful pattern established by other producers. The only difference is that they are produced in Miami. And there is nothing wrong with that. But, there is no such thing as a Miami sound,well at least not when it comes to house music. I'm tired of people uttering this crap, and I'm even more flustered by the idiots who just repeat what they hear like a bunch of parrots.

Hell, even Freestyle comes out of Electro and early 80's synth pop. But who created Electro!? Kraftwerk? Afrika Bambaataa?Well that's like saying "What came first? The Chicken or the Egg?". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdFdOxpa7tc Now I want to Break Dance and watch Krush Groove ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alexis Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Do you guys think that is the reason why we get Djs from out of town like Eric Morillo, Sanchez, or any other big name djs here in Miami that have a common thread in music style? Which i think we can all agree is good house music with lots of vocals...Do you guys think if Pole Folder (as an example) would come here, people would take in his sound? It does come down to a universal approach to TAKE IN something either new or not heard here all the time...I have deep faith that WE as the people that support the culture, WILL...and expose a lot more great EDM music that is out there, and not being played here all the time except for WMC...again, just a thought guys, much love, always, A8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Philip Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 There is definitely a Miami sound. I just got off the phone with someone last night who is 500 miles away and we were discussing Twilo Miami. We were discussing the residents and the first thing out of her mouth was something to the effect of "us still pushing the Miami sound". I could ask just about anyone in the "who's who" of prog and get a very specific response on the "miami sound". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Philip Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Now I just read the article... Ivano has been DJ'ing here since you guys have been in diapers and you guys wanna disagree with him about this? :Put a post up on the GU forum and and see what the world thinks about a "Miami sound". I'm sure some dude in Australia can break it down for you natives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some dude in Australia can break it down for you natives.The miami sound is the mixtape that all the dj's are passing around and playing in south beach. They don't even need to bring their records and CDs. That's why every DJ sounds the same, and it seems to me like every DJ plays them in the same order.

CrzyC1414779017 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 The last two paragraphs are, basically, a slap at Buster. He's the one who was always saying they did surveys at 93.1 and they played exactly what people wanted to hear. Hmmm...I personally took every survey they sent to me and I NEVER voted for the cheese but instead the newer tracks they asked for an opinion on. But I may have been the minority that took them.

Guest Scratch-D Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Of course Miami has its own sound....Miami is the home of the Mother FcKn BASS!Also -To post the moniker of electro over your music is a slap in the face to those who have poured thier heart and soul into it for over 20 years. Electro House with actual electro elements fused in ok... but seriously to just call it electro is a bit Lame.yawn...my 2c;@)Scratch-Dwww.myspace.com/dynamixiiGreat article!!!I am curious to know why there is no 'Miami sound'. Take a genre like Reggae, for most part Reggae created in Jamaica has a different 'sound' or style than the reggae created in UK, New York or Brazil. One can expect that music created will be influenced/inspired by the local culture and other local music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some dude in Australia can break it down for you natives. I have to agree, I have always described it as "the Miami Sound". Maybe it's just ignorant but that's just what I hear. Of course, you have the Sfl breaks and some booty bass but the house has it too. As far as how this sound got here, duh, from everywhere! We have so much international diversity so it is bound to have many roots. Yes, mainly Latins so of course you are going to have more of that influence than you would in Berlin.
