Drum & Bass is programmed on request rather than sitting on the fixed calendar. A member or a host proposes a date, and SplitClub sources the vessel, the crew and the sound around it — the cost of the day is then split across the group that claims the places.
The sound
Breakbeats at double tempo over a half-time sub-bass, so it reads as both extremely fast and quite slow at once. Liquid drum and bass is the melodic, vocal end of it; jungle is the rawer original form.
Drum & Bass in Miami
Drum and bass has a small, committed Miami following concentrated in the downtown and Wynwood rooms, and it appears reliably on III Points lineups. It is a scene rather than a mainstream sound in this city.
How the club programs it
Programmed on request. Runs late and loud, and the liquid end of the genre works considerably better on open water than jungle does.
Every SplitClub day works the same way underneath the music. The club arranges one vessel for one date, with its captain and crew, and programs the route, the hours and the sound. Members claim single places rather than hiring a boat. Contributions are held through our state-of-the-art payment processing system until the day is fully funded — if it does not fill, it does not sail and nobody is charged.
