98. MIAMI HORROR

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

miami horror blasts back into action with his "moon theory" single. when i first heard miami horror, it was just some dude mixing some perfect 80s influenced electro jams and doing some solid remixes for PNAU, stardust, the presets (and many more). lots of synths and electric guitars, sunglasses and red corvettes. now, miami horror plays live with a four piece band and the tracks he puts together in the studio have dynamic vocals that follow a similar aesthetic. if you go back you'll find some older miami horror that's a little less produced and has no vocals. he has definitely grown a lot as an artist, but don't forget the old stuff - it's good too!

everything off of his last ep, bravado, is fantastic. check out "make you mine" and "sometimes." they are some of the best summer jams - on par with bands like the similou.

what's coming next is a full length miami horror lp that i can't find any details on other then it's expected release is sometime later this year. "moon theory" is basically a combination of the 80s synth aesthetic and some epic western gun fight with clint eastwood feeling extremely lucky. i'm not sure why (probably because of the occasional twang), but it feels like sepia and neon, and it works well. vocally, it sounds a little bit like hercules and love affair. you will enjoy it!

nice! thanks for sharing i hadn't heard this yet

miami horror is one of my favorite remixers ever. Particularly the remixes of Faker, Grafton Primary, and Midnight Juggernauts. oh and The Dirty Secrets was awesome and Codebreaker! basically every remix he's done

i think his sound on his own work is noticeably lighter than on his remixes but yea super pumped for the debut album!
