B More, Not Less

We’ve always been a little confused by Bart B More’s name. B More, whose real name is Bart van der Meer, is Dutch, but his DJ moniker suggests Baltimore, Maryland, specifically Baltimore club music. There is little, if any, “B More” influence in his music. Electro, techno, and house are...

We’ve always been a little confused by Bart B More’s name. B More, whose real name is Bart van der Meer, is Dutch, but his DJ moniker suggests Baltimore, Maryland, specifically Baltimore club music. There is little, if any, “B More” influence in his music. Electro, techno, and house are pretty much his go-to genres. However, for all the talent this Dutchman packs, we can forgive him for the misnomer. Pretty familiar with Miami’s nightlife, B More spins frequently at LIV at the Fontainebleau. But because his track selection tends to be what’s good, not necessarily what’s popular, he could easily fit in across the causeway at Miami’s more underground dance clubs. This time, LIV’s little sister, Arkadia will try to contain B More’s bass-heavy tendencies this Friday.
