The Winter Music Conference blows into town tomorrow, and its going to tantalize you with a flurry of sights and sounds, and then it will leave you alone and shaking in the gutter, fiending for more. Were totally looking forward to that feeling, but you may be into something with a bit more longevity. Like Murkd, a party that will love you tonight and every Thursday to come. Were trying to do something different because Miami doesnt have a really good hip-hop party, said Javier Ordonez, one of the nights organizers. On the whole South Beach scene, they play little jiggy rap that you hear on the radio, but thats it. He promises more. Like $3 tequila shots, a video installation from YouTube celeb Flipper, and DJ sets where Madame Turk and DJ Icue show off their turntable skills instead of just their extensive iPod collections. Sure, Nas said that hip-hop is dead, but from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. at PS14 (28 NE 14th St., Miami) youll realize that it didnt get totally murkd out. Admission is $5. Visit www.mysapce.com/murkdmiami.
