"The Sound of Miami Indie" captures the diverse, sun-soaked spirit of South Florida’s alternative scene. This playlist gathers tracks from artists shaping the local indie landscape—from jangly pop grooves like Mustard Service’s "The Dominoes" and the slick funk of Magic City Hippies’ "Queen," to the dreamy textures of Moonlight Sunrise and Cannibal Kids. There’s a coastal breeze running through many of these songs, even as they draw influence from surf rock, funk, synthpop, and grungier alt-rock.
The roster leans heavy on bands who’ve built their reputations playing small clubs, DIY venues, and backyard shows across Miami neighborhoods. You’ll find nostalgic bedroom pop from Common Luck, aggressive fuzz from Palomino Blond, bilingual funk and experimental pulses from Spam Allstars and Suénalo, and genre-hopping energy from acts like Games We Play and Jacuzzi Boys. It's the kind of playlist that gives you a feel for the city’s indie roots while showcasing where the next wave is heading.
