Biography

Maggotron have the distinction of being one of the very first groups to recognize the developing Miami bass scene and use its growing popularity to launch an underground movement. Beginning with the classic The Bass That Ate Miami, the group would go on to release countless more compilations and full albums for a variety of labels. They used a variety of names, from Sonarphonic to the Maggotron Crushing Crew, but remained the same group of like-minded musicians. Their battles with the Pandisc label made their recordings hard to find around the turn of the century, but they persisted with making music despite having one of their chief outlets taken from them.
