While still relatively unknown in the States, Portuguese DJ/producer Carlos Fauvrelle is renowned through the Iberian peninsula, a region increasingly associated with the tribal house genre (see Chus & Ceballos, Mastiksoul, etc.) Fauvrelle has been crafting his own percussive-driven brand of tech house since the early 2000s, releases of which…
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…
“I’m a Facebook prophet/ I told all the girls that I’d be the hot shit.” Thus sings Kid Cudi on “Soundtrack To My Life,” the uninflected voice of a generation that grew up staring at monitors for hours and spends nights cycling through social networking websites. Embodying the hipster-hop aesthetic,…
The Big Day Out Festival is one of those “some-day” trips to daydream about. An annual series of massive one-off fests throughout Australia and New Zealand, it’s like a Reading or Leeds done Down Under, with the world’s biggest festival draws ever. This year’s edition features seven dates from January…
Naughty By Nature, scheduled to perform at Revolution this past Saturday, had to postpone their show due to weather conditions in New York City.

The upcoming three weeks in South Florida are pretty much heaven on earth for “phans” and other chilled-out festival-loving types.

You wouldn’t immediately assume it from the traditional balladry of “Sundown,” but Gordon Lightfoot is a dark motherfucker. Like his most successful single, Lightfoot can seem out-of-date, boring, and stodgy until you spend a weekend with him. Then, it becomes obvious that dude’s just as oversexed, drunk, and angry as…
It’s been almost two years since jam juggernaut String Cheese Incident called it quits in 2007. Since then, things have slowed for some of the former members, while others have picked up the pace with new projects. The latter holds true for the String Cheese rhythm section of Jason Hann…
Who hasn’t been to a post-1998 wedding in which the couple danced to Edwin McCain? The saxophone-drenched ballad “I’ll Be,” in which McCain promises, in essence, never to be a douchebag, granted him the one commercial success he needed to live easy. He’s since dropped off the mainstream music radar,…
Anka on top, Valli belowA few years ago, the world of every Gen X-er and quasi-’90s kid was unpleasantly rocked when 68-year-old teenager Paul Anka decided it was a good idea to cover Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Sure, it’s easy to see where this smarmy, crooner take on grunge…

Understand though, the mass freakout didn’t start because the CD sucked; it was OK. The panic started…
Want to see Lady Gaga on NYE? It’s going to cost you — a lot.Let’s just put this out there first: Lady Gaga is a hack who thinks she’s doing the world a favor by making an “artistic statement.” Sorry, her music and performances are about as artistic as something…
Ambivalent is the moniker of NYC-based DJ/producer Kevin McHugh, of Richie Hawtin’s prestigious Minus label.

By the mid 2000s he became associated with the Minus family after sharing the…
Music is a science. It is like Geometry. It makes us feel really good, or really sad. Music is like Astronomy or gravity or electricity. You know it is there but you just can’t see it. It can give you life. It can kill you. I just drank a whole…
It’s hard to believe that at the end of the decade, any band once labeled “nu metal” is still going strong. So leave it to a band from South Florida, land of anomalies. In late 2009, Fort Lauderdale natives Nonpoint still enjoy am active touring career and a healthy, loyal…
If you’re not onto Afrobeta by now, this must be your first time here (and if it is, allow me to welcome you and thank you for the time you’ll spend perusing). Because here at Crossfade, we’re not exactly reserved in our appreciation for the Miami duo of Cuci Amador…
