After a very successful ELECTROPICO event during WMC 2011, Fabrika & Heineken pair up once again to repeat the uplifting experience of showcasing the new sounds of Latin electronica once again.
Miami will have the chance to see top acts merge their sound under one roof to share what they are working on and the way they adopt technology and mix it with their roots as a rebirth of a new sound that uplifts the Latin culture.
El Freaky is Bogota’s hottest DJ/VJ collective that has been throwing parties for over a year showcasing acts like ChocQuibTown, ZZK, Bomba Estereo, Sabo, Uproot Andy and has shared the stage with artists like Calle 13 and Sean Paul.
Their sound mixes Dancehall, Cumbia, Reggae, Tropical Bass and Hip Hop Latino.
Mr. Pauer is one of the hardest working DJ/Producer from Miami. His recent release “Soundtrack” has taken him to cities like Bogota, Cali, Medellin, Manizales, Caracas, Brooklyn, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Atlanta in less than 2 months. His song “Cumbión Del Sur” was selected as “Download of the Week” by iTunes USA & Mexico. He will be representing Miami at Central Park Summer Stage this year along with Novalima, Jarabe de Palo and Ely Guerra.
Afro Kumbe is the DJ project for Latin Grammy Nomenees’ Locos Por Juana. This mashup band is taking over the city mixing an array of Latin American rhythms with a more electronic groove.
Elastic Bond is Miami’s own Latin Lounge gem. Their style represents a sexy and seductive city where the rhythm of Bossa, Salsa, Electro, Trip Hop and House blends with Sofi’s silky voice creating a rich and danceable atmosphere. They will also be performing at this year’s LAMC in New York the week of July 6-9.
Minimal is synonimous of evolution. This band has known each other since high school and evolved from doing Latin Rock to understanding and adopting the new sounds of rock mixing electronic beats, computers, controllers and sequenced keys with live drums, guitars and bass improving their sound to the next level. They will be releasing “Antibalas Corazon” in the next months promising a groundbreaking point for this band that deserves international exposure.
