That’s what electro pop darling Little Boots sounds like drenched in purple. The producer who remixed this song goes by the name of Joker. His soulful, synthy, Sega style comes from a purple picture he sees in his head before creating the music. At only 20 he’s already made a huge impact in the underground music scene, being named “2008 Producer of the Year” by none other than Pitchfork.
Tomorrow night the Bristol native comes to Miami for the first time to play Shake! Whether you’ve been to them all or you somehow haven’t attended yet, this is the Get Low you’ve been waiting for.

Hard to believe it’s been a whole year since the little hip-hop-party-that-could was born. I know many people didn’t think we’d make it this far. Most parties don’t. A year in club life is an eternity in the real world. There’s a million people to thank for this. From The Vagabond and their staff to all of our amazing guests and organizations we’ve worked with. Extra special thanks to the people of Miami for coming out every week to support. You know who you are… and so do we.
Much love to the whole (((SHAKE))) crew from our awesome Resident DJs to our door lovelies and especially the Sweat Records and Que Pasa M.I.A. families. Lolo brought us together and these guys have become brothers. It is a great honor for me (Man Kitten) to work with Slim Biscayne, Jose el Rey and AHOLSNIFFSGLUE in bringing the 305 the party they needed so badly. Here’s to a long and prosperous reign. Join us for our Birthday tonight with a live performance by The Beatnuts.

They’re bringing the Tropical Bass flavors to Miami with a range of ass-shaking styles like Mambo Violento, Digital Cumbia, UK Funky, Kuduro, Dubstep + Funana.

An event of epic proportions can only be described thus:
“The year 2,000,000 B.C., the time: the future, the place: Miami. Armed with swords and glory the Miami Bass Warriors have crash landed to save us from danger. Otto Von Schirach, José el Rey, Debbie D (from Avenue D) and El Tigre, come together like bistec y papa fritas and satisfy your instinctual needs. From the Little Havana Anthem “Going Back to Calle Ocho” to the pop locking “Breakfire” they were born for Bass. Low. Loud. Lovely.”
