Sound Advice

The Engineer: He's Miami's go-to guy for drum 'n' bass and dubstep precision. Host of online's Thirdschool of Thought (Fridays from 4 to 6 p.m. on BassDrive.com) and college radio's The WVUM Underground (Fridays 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.), in addition to playing clubs and parties, The Engineer is on top of the latest as well as the classics.

Otiz F. Angel and the Jaava Punks: At last year's Ultra fest, he got the glowsticks churning and the sweat dripping. Angel, who used to operate pirate radio in London and now lives in Miami Beach, calls his flavor of electronic music "jaava," which appears to be a heady reinterpretation of old UK and Belgian hard-core techno, trance, and house.

DJ VButterfly: Miami's Vanessa Picart makes provocative and flavorful tribal beats — some even with freakily charged names such as "Fuck My Drumz" — and favors the same in her DJ sets. For many, that's the perfect formula for a caliente Saturday spent dancing outdoors.
