The Latest Evidence That South Beach continues to attract great talent from around the world comes in the form of a dance track with the racy title "Bitch Beware" created by Israeli native DJ/Producer Oren Nizri, experienced music producer Pawel Bartoszek and performer superstar Ebonee Excell.

As the track clearly demonstrates, Nizri is not content only playing other people's music, and Excell is not satisfied simply singing to other people's songs. So these two artists got together and created a musical attitude all their own.
