19Remember Merck Records’ Machinedrum?
posted by JsinMACHINEDRUM performs live at (((SHAKE))) for GET LOW this Thursday night at The Vagabond!
After helping launch Miami’s awesome (but now defunct) Merck Records, Travis Stewart aka Machinedrum made his way to New York. He’s been blowing up over there with his label Normrex. Check out this video from the album “Want to 1 2?” he put out last year.
Years before Glitch Hop became it’s own hot genre, this guy was creating it as an experiment, so it’ll be exciting to see where he’s at now. Download this mixtape he did for Lucky Me where he takes his style to some old school Miami bass.Also performing at (((SHAKE))) GET LOW are Schematic Records founder Romulo Del Castillo, Afro Monk, Gooddroid, Bunnyfuzz, and of course Juan BassHead. MCs Jumanji + The Nome hype the action, while VJ Munkz provides the visual stimulation. RSVP to shake305@gmail.com for reduced cover before 11. Do your job.

19SWELL SEASON Giveaway(s)!
posted by LoloThis week we are giving you not one but TWO chances to win tickets to Monday night’s Swell Season show at the Fillmore!
If you haven’t heard the Swell Season, they are Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. In the Academy Award-winning film ONCE they play “Guy” and “Girl” – two musicians who meet in Dublin and bond as they create beautiful music together. It’s a wonderful film, highly recommended!
Anyway, you can win tickets to see them live by commenting below – we’ll choose a winner at random Friday at noon – or you can come to Can You Rock A Little Softer? Thursday night at Sweat and we’ll be doing a live drawing for a second pair.
Thanks much to NBCMiami and LiveNation, and of course you can always buy tickets right here. Good luck!

14Buy A Shirt, Help A Doggie
posted by LoloOur friends over at WALLOVE.com have a new shirt out for a good cause and we had to pass it along. If you love animals, check it out:
“Limited Edition “Save Sonny” T-shirt. 100% Cotton. FREE SHIPPING! Shirt will be delivered within 12 business days.
This design is inspired by Sonny the Bullmastiff that was rescued from the streets. He is only three years old, and comes from a neglectful past, however he’s become a valued employee of the Wallove team. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with grade 2 cancer and all proceeds from the sales of this shirt go towards his recovery. Please help Sonny get better!”
