Weekends are so busy there is bound to be stuff we’ve forgotten to highlight. But here are two high-profile events you might just want to check out:First up, Samanthan Ronson, who’s better known as Lindsay Lohan’s on-again/off-again girlfriend than for her DJ skills, will be helping Louis at the Gansevoort…
Peaches is anything but subtle. And as soon as the curtains parted at Revolution this past Friday, she instantly led the audience into her surreal, hyper-sexual world. Draped in a woolly coat, she and her band, Sweet Machine, kicked things off with “Mud,” off her latest release, I Feel Cream…
JusticeYes, you read it correctly. Just in time for Art Basel Miami Beach, Mansion is bringing French electrohouse duo Justice to Miami Friday, December 4.The pair haven’t really played a proper club set since Winter Music Conference 2007 when they spun at the Fixed/Ed Banger party at Studio A. They’ve…
With the high season in full swing, the events just keep rolling into South Florida. It was a busy weekend that even with a case of the post-Halloween doldrums that almost kept us at home, there was just too much to do and see. So here is what you missed…

Early-bird, two-day tickets to the festival, which sold for $99.95, are gone. What’s impressive is that it happened…
Santigold: She’s a lady.Last time Santigold (a.k.a., Santi White, formerly Santogold) was in Miami, she played at Ultra Music Festival back in March. Unfortunately, she was relegated to an early slot on the first day of the festival, so she played to a sparse crowd. We missed her set all…
You already know Sander Kleinenberg’s music, although you may not be aware of that fact. You probably first heard it at a certain Park West nightclub at 8 a.m. while rolling so hard that you actually thought you were in Ibiza. But you weren’t in Ibiza — Kleinenberg’s track came…
If websites like Hipster Runoff have taught us anything, it’s that when the alt community comes together for a “meaningful” experience, it can be a beautiful thing. It seemed like all of hipsterdom, both local and foreign, was at one of two related places Halloween night: OHWOW, or Our House…
If you spent the earlier part of the decade at places like Piccadilly Garden, Soho Lounge or I/O Lounge–all now deceased venues–you are familiar with Peaches. Along with acts like Felix Da Housecat, Miss Kittin, Larry Tee and Tommie Sunshine, she’s is pretty much responsible for ushering in the electroclash…

We skipped dressing up for Halloween this year, but people wouldn’t stop bothering us as to why we weren’t in costume. Being an overworked, underpaid writer is a full-time job and is the scariest costume we could come up with.But enough about us — here is what you missed over…
Miami has Poplife and Fort Lauderdale has Heater. But for a while the Broward party seemed to have all but disappeared. But I have good news for the 954’s indie-dance scene: the party is coming back! November 6 to be exact. The resurrection is happening at the Exit 66 space…
Oooooohhh! This is the ghost of nightlife past coming to haunt your dreams of weekend debauchery. It’s been a while since I’ve recapped all there is to do across the Magic City, but let’s hope I can revive the column from the dead for what’s left of 2009.If you’ve been…
We’re sure Jesse Rose will be playing on something a bit more, er, advance.Let us know when you’re sick of hearing the words Art Basel, because you’ll be hearing it plenty until the end of the first week of December.In more Art Basel music news, British DJ Jesse Rose will…
Earlier this summer, ¡MAYDAY! released its Technology EP, which is available free for download via Bandcamp. Off that release, the guys have decided to release a video for the track “Red Carpet Affair.” The video features Brooklyn musician and artist Andrew Strasser, a.k.a. Bad Brilliance, who was in town during…
It’s about time that someone take back the synth-pop sound back to the Magic City. Joseph Espinoza, a.k.a. Jesp, seems to be doing exactly that. With sound that something of cross between Chromeo and Jan Hammer, Jesp will drop his debut album, Heart Rhythm, November 3 via Sweat Records’ website…
Ed Hardy must die.The Ed Hardy T-shirt. Nothing is a bigger symbol of douchebaggery in clubland than it. It’s a faux-tattoo armor for those too wimpy to get real ones. Bedazzled and they achieve a whole another level of douchiness. Oh, and if you’re wearing Affliction you have two strikes…
When disco revivalists Glass Candy performed at the Vagabond back in September we were told they were surprised by the turnout and audience response. But with sweet hooks and silky production, how can you not fall in love with the duo? Well, while surfing the web this weekend, we stumbled…
We kept it low-key this weekend, saving up our energy for the chaos of what is to be Halloween this week. With it falling on a Saturday, you know South Florida is going to be one big celebration.So in case you rested up as well, here is what you missed…
