Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Charissa “DJ Rap” Saverio is a familiar face in Miami; not only did she live here for a time, but also she usually plays at crobar a few times a year, in addition to appearing during Winter Music Conference. One of a handful of stars to emerge from England during jungle’s brief heyday in the late Nineties, DJ Rap still produces lots of drum and bass. But when she appears here, she spins what the grownups like — progressive house. Oh well — at least those inspired by her can check out Bulletproof, a new album that finds her mixing both styles via original tracks, remixes, and cuts by other artists. Amsterdam producer Junkie XL is another matter entirely. He sticks to hot and heavy breakbeat, and his set should satisfy listeners who like a little rock and roll in their dance music.
DJ Rap and Junkie XL perform at 10:00 p.m. Friday, May 20, at crobar, 1445 Washington Ave, Miami Beach. Tickets cost $15. Call 305-672-8084.
