We strive to provide our listeners with a wide variety of artists that contributed to the scene as well as those that remain faithful ” Captain Juan Luv

Donny Benet " Konichiwa"

We “ exposed” our audiences to Donny Benet
at one of our shows here in Miami about a
year ago. We’ve discovered that when we present
new music to our audiences , it should be
audio only, as videos seem to taint and influence
negatively songs that otherwise would be well
received. “ Konichiwa” ( 2017) from Donny Benet’s LP
“ The Don ” was totally the opposite. The video
sparked an immediate interest in this Sydney
based solo recording artist, whose musical
inspirations are obvious in his unique
style , which borrows heavily from Italo Disco,
and R&B from the 80s.
“Konichiwa ” is an ultra-smooth track , sung in a
whisper style, over a 4 on the Floor Disco/Soul
beat, complete with a very sexy sax solo.
A perfect video to introduce you to Donny’s cool ,
underdog persona. The burning sax player is
my favorite aside from the suit.
And No, he’s not that
“porno guy”

Bad Business " Cadillac Villa"

There is no mistaking where the inspiration for their music comes from as you listen to Bad Business and their new track “ Cadillac Villa. On a secluded island or on the upper deck of your shiny new yacht sipping an ice cold Champale the vibe is smooth and classy. Reminiscent of such Yacht Rock Masters as Bill LaBounty and Marc Jordan .Bad Business delivers an expertly crafted track with all the elements Yacht Rock fans are familiar with.
“The bounce” the guitar solo and of course those smooth vocals complimented by Fantine adding the lady’s touch.
“ Cadillac Villa” steps back into sexy groove ,unlike my favorite“Sailor’s Delight” which funks you up from start to finish . But the “ Business” still delivers another winner.This is definitely a band to watch ( and hear)
Thankfully Yacht Rock Miami alwaysahead of the curve has placed several
of their tracks on rotation and the video for Cadillac Villa seems to be a crowd favorite at Yacht Rock Miami’s Live DJ Performances.
