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.
“Dirty Filthy,” “Wowie Zowie,” “Sugar”: the world of London-based producer Tom “Superchumbo” Stephan is big and booming, as fat (as in the old-school slang phat) as the megasize club speakers that broadcast his tracks. Unabashedly enraptured with tribal funk, Stephan tries to make his tracks as deep as possible: One single, “This Beat Is,” is all skittering percussion, bulbous bass, and Will Brett’s chanting “this beat is all over my body” in a guttural voice. Stephan’s debut disc, Wowie Zowie, is scheduled for a July 12 release on Twisted Records, but it doesn’t compare to the sensation of sweating along as he spins a panoply of sounds in the wee afterhours.
