Photo by Nicole CussellPlease don’t stand on the decks Mr. Aoki.I’m perhaps not Dim Mak founder and DJ Steve Aoki’s biggest fan. He puts on too much of a show not enough interest in the music for my taste, but I understand why people like him. He’s charismatic and his…
Photo by Rony AlwinDj Tamara SkyOkay, so I’ll admit this post is really just about posting another hot-as-fuck picture of DJ/model Tamara Sky. So sue me. I’ve already publicly admitted my love for her. So sorry that from time to time I want to look at something pretty.That being said,…
Calvin Harris performs at LIV Febrary 24.We’ve been a little quiet lately on LIV’s Wednesday night party Dirty Hairy. Partly because the acts that have been booked lately are more gimmicky than actually, er, talented. Nothing wrong with gimmick — a mega-club of LIV’s size needs to make money –…

We barely survived the freezing temperatures that blasted through South Florida over the weekend. Our 1920s apartment building isn’t equipped with central heating, and our local Target sold out of space heaters. Well, let’s just get to everything you missed over the weekend, because our fingers feel like they are…

You have to remember nothing is concrete even on the day of the festival (Bloc Party canceled last year at the last minute). According to an official press release from Ultra’s organizers, indie-rock band Passion Pit has been added…
Hercules & Love Affair, Andy Butler (center).Hercules & Love Affair perhaps single-handedly ushered in the nu-disco era that South Florida’s hipsterati current find themselves dancing to. Their self-titled debut album was a breakthrough filled with glittery gems including tracks like “Blind” and “Hercules Theme.” While we wait for a follow-up,…
James HusbandLast time Of Montreal came to South Florida, the band stopped at Revolution in Fort Lauderdale. While they aren’t planning to return in the near future, guitarist James Huggins III side-project James Husband will come to South Florida on March 13.Huggins released his debut album, A Parallax I, in…
A few weeks ago, we announced that we’d be going glossy. Well, that day has arrived. Newsstands today will carry our first glossy issue, which is also nicely trimmed and stapled.The premiere glossy issue features Tim Elfrink’s story “Homesick,” which delves into the Chinese drywall issue affecting South Florida homeowners…
I’m in love, y’all! She’s gorgeous. She’s got this awesome hairstyle that is a cross between Amy Winehouse and some atrocity created with Bumpits. Her skin glows of fake orange tanner that one can only assume she was dipped in Tang. Some asshole thought it was okay to hit her…
I rarely ever take flier handouts while walking at night around South Beach, but for some reason as I was leaving Klutch I took an Ultra flier from a guy. Honestly, the first thing I felt was exhaustion because I don’t know if I can handle the fact that Winter…

Vacation is over, South Florida. After two weeks of back-to-back long weekends, we are finally returning to our same ol’ routine for a while at least. In case you were elsewhere visiting ungrateful relatives, here is what you missed over the weekend:Phish at American Airlines ArenaPhoto by Ben ThackerThe Vermont…
LA RiotsWe’ve talked about DJ/production duo LA Riots plenty on this blog. And how can you blame us? It seems like they are in town every chance they get. Recently, they spun at Fort Lauderdale’s Exit 66 only to return soon there after to take over the decks at LIV…
Lazaro Casanova: Don’t let the baby face fool you.Local DJs like Oscar G and Cedric Gervais may get all the glory on a national level, but they better watch out for Lazaro Casanova. The young musician has gone from obscure indie-party DJ to legit techno/house producer. He even paired up…
Another year in the books. It is just us or did 2009 seemed to rush by like it was in overdrive? Still, 2009 was another stellar year for clubland, music and all. The economic recession didn’t prove to be the wet blanket many had predicted it would be. The nightclubs…
You just spent Christmas Day opening presents, and instead of that sweet MacBook you wanted, your parents got you a Dell, a poor person’s P.C. Why do they hate you so much? Don’t they understand the status symbol of a Mac evokes greatness as you pretend to write the next…
Face it. You waited until the last minute to buy Christmas gifts. You could take the easy route and just get everyone gift cards, but a piece of plastic hardly says you put in any thought. That’s where everyone’s favorite local independent music store comes in. Tonight, Sweat Records is…
Paris-via-South Florida singer Uffie has been quiet for the last few years. However, late this year she finally released a video for her track “Pop The Glock” — almost 4 years after it was released. Ed Banger head honcho Pedro Winter, a.k.a. Busy P, explained that the odd move was…
Photo by Lex HernandezHere is a bit of weekend leftovers that we didn’t get around to posting until late. If you missed dubstep master Rusko at White Room on Saturday you perhaps missed the most energetic DJ set you’d probably ever witness. The Brit isn’t just content playing to a…
