DJ Baby Anne started her career as the Queen of Bass in, where else, Orlando, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t made a gazillion appearances in South Florida over the last 17 years. A major draw for the underground electronica community, the foxy producer belongs to the break beat generation…
via Flickr user Dark BotxyPlenty to hear in Broward and Palm Beach this weekend, no matter what you’re into. If you’re in the mood to see an iconic punk band, The Misfits are playing Culture Room tonight. Sure they’re minus Danzig, but Jerry Only is still around to blast out…
via Flickr user ChrontourageSeeing a Hasidic Jewish man on stage free styling and beat boxing between his hardcore reggae songs might seem off-putting at first but it shouldn’t. All that’s happening lyrically is reggae’s traditional Rastafarian religious views being replaced by Jewish teachings, the dreadlocks are replaced by payot, and…

via Flickr User Between a RockIt’s certainly no secret that jam bands are in love with visiting South Florida. In fact, it seems like every band with a nouveau-hippie following makes it down here at least once a year, so it’s rarely big news. This announcement though, it’ll make some…
Peter BetancourtLooking for something to do outside of the Basel grind? Did you lose interest now that the Stooges and the Dolls aren’t opening things up? Like metal, hardcore, punk, grind, thrash? Could you possibly give less of a fuck about a DJ set by a washed up group that…
Time for a cheesy joke about how Dre “forgot about Miami” or “forgot about Primary Flight” or something. Dr. Dre’s connection to the Primary Flight street art installation around Wynwood — more specifically its gallery version, Blue Print for Space, at the Art Center South Florida — was much hyped…

Somewhere along the line, Apple Computer Inc. started hiring staffers with a knack for searching out perfect pop songs. These employees have an acute sense for picking catchy, pop-driven songs to pimp their lines of iPods. More often than not, Apple catches lightning in a bottle with the songs, and…
Trying to track all of the random shows and parties connected to Art Basel can be exhausting — so here’s one damned good reason to get away from them all for one night. The Skinny Dip, at Kitchen 305, is a multiband celebration of life whose proceeds benefit the Melanoma…
In the mid-’90s, many considered the multimembered New York City act King Chango to be part of the larger constellation of ska revival acts flourishing in that city. But the band’s musical roots ran deeper than many of its peers’. Yes, the “Chango” in its name is indeed a nod…
South Florida of late seems to be a haven for jam bands. Hot new acts such as the Heavy Pets are making their mark, the Jam Cruise announced its biggest lineup yet, and when Langerado dropped the jam, the festival folded. The Perpetual Groove people are coming to cash in…
For a few years in the mid-’00s, it was good to be Adam Lazzara. The Taking Back Sunday frontman was the king of the burgeoning third-wave emo scene while being embroiled in a feud with scene mates Brand New, former bandmates Shaun Cooper and John Nolan, and pretty much every…
It’s not every day that you find a group of musicians who can straddle the line between the dreamy atmospheres of Ambient Works-era Aphex Twin and the soul-pop of Hall & Oates while striving for the arrangement sophistication of Steely Dan. But that’s precisely what this Massachusetts-via-Brooklyn quartet does well…
Innerpartysystem knows all about the DIY approach. Since its formation, the band has spent countless hours dissecting technology, transforming it to suit its needs. Its light show, for instance, aside from a few stock lasers, was all hand-built. Any fan who has seen the act more than once has also…

via myspace.com/bluetechmusicThe Hawaii-based producer Bluetech can be considered part of the extended constellation of the jam band scene, playing and collaborating with other hippies-gone-electronic like EOTO and Flying Lotus. Still, Bluetech is fiercely experimental, citing the likes of Brian Eno, the Orb, and even Erik Satie as influences. He performs…
