As exciting as electronic music can be, it can also get repetitive as shit. However, Dirtyphonics, the bass-heavy, Dim Mak-signed trio from Paris, embraces the unpredictable side of the genre. And it was pretty apparent when we interviewed crew member Charly that he and his mates are not about it…

Along with the terms “twerk” and “bougie,” the word “ratchet” falls into the hoodrat category and spans across all genres of music and subject matter. In case you don’t know what this means, please allow us to explain: It’s the trashy sense of fashion that some people think is classy…

Attention all you inked folks who have woman parts or identify as female: Screw chocolates and roses.

There’s no better time to profess or reconfirm your love with an obese teddy bear and a cardboard box of sickly sweet chocolates than on Valentine’s Day. Oddly, February 14 is also known as Singles Awareness Day, when many of the unloved find themselves wearing their exes’ sweaters, sobbing uncontrollably…

Astrea Corporation has long been lauded by New Times’ music writers. And you’ll get why this is once you’ve heard their songs and seen them live. Their fresh electronic feel is unforgettable.

One of the important life lessons, a cliché that’s oh-so-true, is that all good things must come to an end. Things that bring us delight and wonderment diminish all too quickly — like boy bands, Twinkies, or fanny packs. Just yesterday, though, a treasured Fort Lauderdale tradition announced it is…
