Here’s a great video I found on the internet from the Downtown Miami Grave Rave at PS14. It’s performance footage from Outbreak and D-Murder’s set. This video is the first I ever heard of these guys and I gotta say they have a real good stage presence. Music aint about…
I found an e-flyer for an all-you-can-drink warehouse party in Kendall featuring live music and art, so as a member of the media it’s my responsibility to share that information with the world.
