Dynamix II

Dynamix II is a foundational pillar of the Miami bass and electro scenes, formed in 1986 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Originally comprised of David 'Scratch D' Noller and Lon Alonzo (later replaced by Scott Weiser), the group achieved massive commercial success with their debut single 'Just Give The DJ A Break,' which sold over 600,000 copies.

Their sound identity is inextricably linked to the Roland TR-808, specifically the long-decay kick drum that would become the hallmark of Southern hip-hop and global bass music. They were among the first to move Miami bass toward a more complex, multi-tonal melodic structure rather than simple rhythmic thumps. Their influence is vast, cited by big beat pioneers like The Chemical Brothers and maintaining a cult following in the UK electro and Rephlex-style 'braindance' circles. Critically, they are viewed as the bridge between the electro-funk of Afrika Bambaataa and the more aggressive, club-focused Florida breaks of the 1990s. Their catalog remains a primary resource for crate-diggers and producers seeking authentic analog grit and foundational sub-bass techniques.
