The event features an array of hop-laden beverages ranging from mass-produced brands like Dos Equis and Budweiser to craft offerings from CerveTech and Florida Beer Company.In addition to all the beer…
Afrobeta has come a long way from the duo we first caught at venues such as Circa 28 and PS14. (Remember those?) After what seemed like several false starts, the band has finally gotten into a steady stride that saw it drop the 2010 EP Do You Party?, followed by…
Perhaps the third time’s the charm? When the Identity Festival set out on its inaugural summer tour across the United States last year, Miami was left out after the threat of a hurricane that never hit. Organizers tried to reschedule the show at a later date. But it proved too…
See Sweatstock 2012’s full lineup and set times and our guide to rockin’ out at Sweatstock 2012.Take a break from celebrating 4/20 and try to remember that tomorrow is Record Store Day! And of course, Sweat Records will be celebrating the event as well as its seventh anniversary with its…
A name like Thugfucker is bound to raise a few eyebrows. It’s also a risky moniker for a musician, being so provocative that it could distract from the mission one sets out to accomplish — make music. Luckily, the duo that has assumed the name has the talent to push…
Last night, the Corner brought together some of Miami’s best bartenders, er, mixologists for the first-ever Campari Best Aperitivo Cocktail Competition. Hosted by the United States Bartenders’ Guild, the event had the cocktail creators come up with their own unique take on the classic apéritif. Our cameras were there to…
Everyone seems to be questioning the Grind’s logic of having its burger battle event indoors. Obviously, grilling is done outdoors for a reason.But in an online statement, director Tony Albelo says months went into planning the event to ensure everything went smoothly, and they hired “HVAC contractors, fire equipment specialists,…
Read Crossfade’s recap of M83’s two-song set at Ultra 2012. Ultra Music Festival is over. But we’re still wondering about one thing: Will M83 be returning to Miami to make up for a ridiculously shortened Ultra set marred by technical difficulties? Well, in a contrite statement that we just received…
Read Crossfade’s post about Madonna’s Ultra Music Festival 2012 and watch the full six-minute and 52-second clip of Madonna’s Ultra appearance. UPDATE See Madonna’s response to the Mau5. It’s a cartoon of her wearing Mau5keteer ears. Uh-oh, Deadmau5 is pissed off again. The last time he unleashed his fury on…
Can’t say we’re surprised that Justice’s set at Ultra Music Festival was reminiscent of the duo’s sophomore effort, Audio, Video, Disco, an album of which we aren’t exactly a fan. And last night’s performance didn’t convince us either. But that’s not to say we didn’t enjoy it. A Justice show…
As the sun was setting, we looked around Bayfront Park’s Klipsch Amphitheater. And we got a little worried. It was only fifteen minutes till Metronomy was set to play Ultra Music Festival and the Live Stage area was looking pretty bare. We sat there, hoping attendees could peel themselves away…
Read M83’s official comment on its ridiculously shortened two-song set. I’ll admit, I was livid yesterday. But after having a chance to sleep on it, I’ve come to accept it. My hope of seeing M83 in concert wasn’t meant to be.Yes, the group performed two songs, but its rushed performance…
The collective celebration of electronic dance music (otherwise known as Ultra Music Festival) finally kicked off yesterday at Bayfront Park. And a few hiccups aside, everything seemed to go smoothly. We had gotten so used to the layout at Bicentennial Park that first thing we did was survey the lay…
Even though Winter Music Conference and Miami Music Week have turned into a nine days of EDM, we’ve keep it pretty low key. Until last night. First stop: The world premiere of Ultra Music Festival’s Can U Feel It concert documentary. Standing there on the red carpet was sort of…
It’s Saturday night, meaning you’re on day nine of a ten-day Winter Music Conference. You’ve probably already spent most of your life savings on boarding, booze, and event tickets. Wouldn’t it be nice to go to an all-night rager that won’t cost you a fortune? Well, you can’t get any…
Flip through your favorite gossip rag or the pages of Ocean Drive magazine. If you see a photo of a celebrity smiling at some Miami hotspot, Seth Browarnik probably had something to do with it.As the man behind World Red Eye, Browarnik has been shooting celebrities and local nightlife for…
Music Loves Fashion has been putting on events that combine music (duh!), fashion (duh!), beautiful people, celebrities, and great locations near Los Angeles and Montreal for a while now. It’s best known events are the ones at the Riviera Hotel in Palm Springs, California, which coincide with Coachella.Now the party…
Check out the full lineup and set times for Ultra 2012. Normally, in year’s past Ultra Music Festival’s organizers send us a photo version of the artist set times the day before the festival takes place. But in keeping with this year’s bigger-and-better approach, you don’t have wait until then…
This past September, the world of dance music lost Mehdi Favéris-Essadi, an amazing DJ and producer at the age of 34. Of course, Mehdi was no stranger to Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival, having made several Miami appearances. And 2012 will mark the first time in several years…
Are you still alive? Yes? Good. Because there are still six more days of partying. God help your liver.Today marks the official start of Miami Music Week (AKA Ultra Week), so that means big parties from here on out. Still, if you are looking for something a bit more underground,…
When we mentioned SBTRKT (pronounced subtract) in our list of of ten most exciting acts at Ultra Music Festival, we were being dead serious. The British musician is often pigeonholed as post-dubstep. But in reality, he carefully navigates EDM genres, splicing disparate styles and influences like a human supercomputer. That…
During WMC 2010, White Room (currently Eve) was the unofficial DJ VIP room. Except, it wasn’t really VIP. DJ and fans easily hung out side by side. It was the only place were the average partygoer could find him or herself talking with some of the best EDM and DJ…
