DOWNLOAD: Miami Horror - Make You Mine

First off, let's clarify that Miami Horror is not from Miami (try Melbourne, Australia) and doesn't craft the sort of mask-wearing, ferocious banger Djing that you'd expect with a name like "Horror." Instead, this track "Make You Mine" incorporates exotic Congo drums, '80s flute effects, scintillating Italo disco beats, and a white-suited Miami Vice mood theme. Take the '80s shimmer of Giorgio Moroder, mix it with faster-paced Phil Oakley beats, and add a dash of Chromeo with their testosterone dialed way down. Did we mention the brains behind the project is 22 year old Benjamin Plant?  We'll be welcoming him with open arms in Austin this week, where he'll be gearing up with native Texan soundmaster Vega; after all, if this song is any indication, Miami Horror's jams will be essential to us surviving the week long taco and margarita hangovers.

Sounds like: Phil Oakley, Giorgio Moroder, Chromeo, Van She, Cut Copy, Kavinsky
