'MAKE YOU MINE'
HERE
Many might be a little baffled by who
or what Miami Horror
actually is; a band? DJ? production
wizard? Well, the answer is actually all
of the above. The brainchild of 22 year
old Benjamin Plant who has earned
his stance as one of the most talked
about artists and definite one to watch
for in 2009. After putting himself on
the map by DJing various high profile
events in his native Melbourne,
Australia and remixing and writing tons
of killer tunes, he's now setting his
sights Stateside and will be spinning in
the US and at SXSW this spring before
returning back into the studio to finish
the recording of the Miami Horror
debut album, set for release later
this year.
Hell-bent on discovering new talent and
collaborating with artists from all
corners of the globe, Ben's first pick
was Texan former front man of
Ghosthustler, Alan Palomo aka
VEGA, who showcases his lush pop
songwriting whilst bringing the
unabashed romance back to production and
live performance.
Make You Mine is clearly
influenced by the spacey evocations of
Giorgio Moroder, the high school
heartbreak of Keith Forsey, whilst
ushering in a fresh aesthetic that'll
have you making way for that dance floor
in no time. Fans must also eagerly await
the Miami Horror live set up
which will feature a full 4-piece band,
including DJ / Producer Ooh-Ee on
the drums and Josh Moriarty
(Young & Restless/Peacocks) on guitar
and vocals.
