  • Speaker Terror Upper: When Bass Tapes Shook the Streets

    Speaker Terror Upper: When Bass Tapes Shook the Streets
    Feb 5 2025
    In the late '80s and early '90s, a seismic subculture shook the streets… literally. “Boom Cars,” decked out with custom sound systems, roamed neighborhoods blasting the bassiest music ever recorded. But where did this movement come from, and why did it fade away? In this episode, we dive into the world of Miami Bass, dB Drag Racing, and the infamous tapes that could shred your subwoofers. Featuring journalist Jesse Serwer and Bass Music pioneer DJ Magic Mike. Explore the all new Defacto Sound website, and click the Contact Form to get in touch.

In this episode, we explore the history of radio ID jingles, and pack in so many earworms, you’re going to need an exterminator.
