Dubstep seems to be in everyone’s heads these days, and it’s no different here at Sweat Records. Here’s an update of some great stuff we carry.
There’s the new Miami Dubstep shirts designed by Adam “Munkz” Pascale. They’re only $15 and they look like this:
Be sure to check out the Soul Jazz Records “Singles 2008-2009″ CD featuring cuts by Ramadanman, Kode9, Digital Mystikz and more. We also have some stellar 12″ vinyl releases from Basshead including 12th Planet ft. Emu “Control (Skreamix)” + Otto von Schirach’s “Bass Low.”
Gracing the purpled-out front cover of this month’s XLR8R is the newly crowned Bass King, Joker, who came to Get Low last month and blew our minds.
It’s a perfect night to visit Sweat before heading to The Vagabond for Miami’s best monthly dubstep party, Get Low.

By now you’ve all heard about the fact that we’ve got West Palm Beach’s SURFER BLOOD at Fridays at The Vagabond tomorrow, that they’ve been featured in the New York Times, by Rolling Stone, a recent lead story for the Broward New Times, and that scrooge-y old Pitchfork made their single “Swim” number 37 on their list of the top tracks of the year.
What you haven’t heard, is that Sweat and The Vagabond have teamed up with IronForge Press to make a sick silk-screened limited edition poster for the show!

After literally years of waiting, we can all now swoon and rejoice because Miami songsters RAFFA AND RAINER have a brand new album out right now!
Sweat has sold hundreds of copies of “Stolen Coal”- their lovely, hand-stitched debut – and this week their sophomore effort “No Mercy” is available in green-tastic eco-friendly packaging. Click the cover for a little taste of their tunes:
Not only that, but they’re having a huge party to celebrate on Friday evening at the Wynwood Social Club. Raffa is making her famous and amazing vegan chili, there will be live performances by Jesse Jackson and Danielle Steele, and R&R will be performing live with their full band, which is always excellent.
Buy the CD at Sweat and get in free, or buy it at the door and the same deal applies. Starts at 8pm at 2501 NW 2nd Ave.

Prepare thyselves! Panic Bomber‘s new album is coming out and there’s going to be an insane show this Saturday night to celebrate the release. He’s performing live with all the bells and whistles at the White Room – horn section, special effects, perhaps a few new covers planned… – along with DJ sets by Damaged Goods, Troy Kurtz and Juan Basshead. All denizens of the dancefloor will be thoroughly satisfied.
Panic Bomber’s new full-length “Getting On My Mind” drops next Tuesday but Sweat’s got the CD available right here right now for you to obtain! It’s $7, less than the cost of a drink at most clubs, but you’ll get 12 tracks (eight originals and four different remixes) that you can listen to on repeat to your heart’s content. In other words, it’s a great deal for a really damn good CD.
(PB’s female alter-ego, she’s fierce.)
Also, leave a comment below for your chance win one of two Panic Bomber Prize Packs! Each pack includes a free copy of the new album, admission for two to the event on Saturday, and holographic PB stickers! All other commenters will be added to Sweat’s $5 reduced list so make sure to leave your full names.
This giveaway is for one of the “12 Days of Panic Bomber” that Mr. Bomber is going through on his site so make sure to check in to win stuff, download free remixes and more.
RSVP on Facebook if you like, flier after the jump! See you Saturday.

Black Friday is upon us, the busiest shopping day of the year when people wake up before dawn, and literally risk their lives in the name of a discount on…stuff.
At Sweat, we offer you an alternative. We open at noon, offer you a wide variety of already reasonably priced unique gifts and music, and promise that absolutely no one will be trampled to death. We do know the lure of a good sale though so EVERYTHING will be 10% off. No ifs, ands or buts, just an across-the-board discount on all of our awesome LPs, CDs, books, movies, toys and treats.
In this same spirit, we’d like to introduce you to a concept we think is pretty neat – THE 3/50 PROJECT:
The basic premise is (more…)

More new local music! The Electric Bunnies have been hopping around Miami for a few years now, playing their psychedelic tunes to appreciative audiences. They’ve released a few 7″s but their full length LP is finally here and it’s a beauty. Through the Magical Door is a gorgeous gatefold LP designed by Lucha Workshop and along with the perforated inserts it becomes a whole board game! Very awesome.
