On Major Label Debut, Bomba Estéreo Never Loses Sight of its Roots

It was a typically dreary evening in the Colombian capital—cold and drizzling. Yet that didn’t stop thousands from coming out on May 17 when Colombian sensation Bomba Estéreo gave Bogotá a sneak peak of its new album Amanecer (“Daybreak,” in English) at a massive open-air, mountainside dance party on the…

Joe Maz and Dave Aude Tell Us How to Make The Perfect Remix

What is a remix? At its most basic definition, a remix is a new version of a song that already exists. However, the lines between remixing, sampling, making edits, mashups, white labels, and bootlegs have blurred. These days, it’s hard — maybe even impossible — to make something truly original…

DJ Adam Foster’s Favorite Tracks of May

It’s official: summer is upon us, and June is right around the corner. That doesn’t mean much for us South Floridians. It just goes from being pretty hot to really hot. For the rest of the country though, summer time is special. It means festival season, beach season, boat season. No…

Drawing on…

As Margaritaville Hollywood Resort Nears, We Seek to Understand the Parrotheads

We share this world with a variety of people of varying mental capacities and affectations including (but not limited to) airheads, cokeheads, deadheads, eggheads, hotheads, knuckleheads, metalheads, potheads, redheads, shitheads, turtleheads, warheads, soft baby heads, and of course, cheeseheads. But then, somewhere in the middle of that list, clutching a…

We Got the Beats Record Store Wants Everyone to Feel at Home

There’s a particular image we tend to conjure up when considering the typical indie record store. It’s so exact, in fact, we don’t feel the need to describe it in detail. But there’s also the antithesis of this, an indie record store that strives to be and anything but typical…

C&I Studios Opens New Recording Studio

Chances are, your favorite song wasn’t recorded in Fort Lauderdale. The city if known for a lot of things, but recording music isn’t one of them. This might change though thanks to Fort Lauderdale’s C&I Studios. The FAT Village idea agency is looking to expand the South Florida’s music scene…
