Listen/download: Afrobeta – “As Long As You Like”
Afrobeta, comprised of lead singer Cuci and producer extraordinaire Smurphio, are arguably the king & queen of Miami’s dance scene, as evidenced by the Miami New Times. Their diverse & unique sound transcends genres- Cuci’s rapid-fire delivery, combined with Smurphio’s funky synths and head-bopping basslines, will keep you moving from start to finish on Under The Streets. You can head over to Afrobeta’s soundcloud page to check out a bunch of original tracks and remixes, including Larry Tee’s rework of “Play House.” The band also released an awesomely futuristic video of the track, which you can check out here.
