Turns out it's gonna be a full house on Friday night at the Electric
Pickle with Benno Blome booked to play the upstairs room while Sunshine
Jones and Pete Herbert play downstairs. Berlin-based DJ/producer and
Sender label owner Blome is a veteran of that city's underground

A natural progression into DJing followed, mak
Miami's true house music aficionados need not be reminded that South Beach is, for the most part, the last place one goes to find quality underground dance music.
