For the past few years, two massives have bookended our annual season: Magical Maydaze in May, and Candyland in December. Before the latest edition of Candyland gets underway on December 26, Culture Productions is throwing a preparty at downtown Miami’s Players, a sports bar/nightclub that seems an odd fit for hundreds of unreconstructed raver kids. New York’s DB is widely credited with cultivating an American drum-and-bass scene via his Breakbeat Science parties and record label. More impressively, his DJ sets emphasize the music’s melodic and rhythmic elements without ignoring its pummeling, hardcore roots. Joining DB is another old-school hero, Monk from Rabbit in the Moon, along with Inner Realm and a host of local mix masters.
