Miami seemed to be in a post-Basel slump this weekend. Things were eerily quiet. Still, there was the Y100 Jingle Ball at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise. The annual holiday concert brought together a who’s who of chart-toppers including Katy Perry, Enrique Iglesias, Flo Rida, Train, Selana Gomez, Adam Lambert,…
While our sources at Ultra Music Festival have neither confirmed nor denied that Aussie electro-rock band Cut Copy is appearing at Ultra Music Festival 2011, sites like Festival Outlook are reporting that the band’s will be there. Evidence is pretty strong too, considering the band’s booking agency, Windish, says so…
With the holidays upon us, we’re feeling generous. What better way to thank our readers than with a giveaway? And talk about a stocking stuffer! We’re giving away a $50 gift certificate courtesy of Sushi Sake. (Nothing says “the holidays” like sushi.)The certificate can be used at any of Sushi…
When you book Lady Gaga to perform at your New Year’s Eve event, it’s going to be very hard to top. So excuse us if we aren’t as shocked by the news that Tiësto will be headlining this year’s Fontainebleau’s New Year’s Eve poolside party, along with San Francisco DJ…
Good ol’ Miss Yip. When you wanted somewhat-affordable Chinese food right off Lincoln Road, it was always there. And now, when you want somewhat-affordable Chinese food in downtown Miami, it will be there, too.We say somewhat because we’ve always found the place to be a dollar or two overpriced, considering…
If the U.S. techno scene has a leader, it might be Philly-native Josh Wink. The producer, remixer, and owner of Ovum Recordings keeps the genre in constant flux, never sounding outdated or irrelevant. Involved in the music scene since the early ’90s, Wink has worked with everyone from Trent Reznor…
La Roux performs at Mansion tonight. It’s a makeup date for the band’s South Beach show that was canceled back in August. Last month, when Elly Jackson and friends made-up their show at the Culture Room, the flame-maned singer’s vocals were somewhat lacking, according to New Times Broward-Palm Beach music…
Diplo has a lot to be grateful this year. The Mad Decent label head’s career shows no signs of slowing down. And his Major Lazer side project with Switch is still going strong following the release of a new EP, Lazers Never Die, and a mixtape with La Roux. Even…
Another Art Basel Miami Beach is in the books. And with that, we wanted to take some time to look back at who actually made big strides last week, and those who, despite their best intentions, just fell flat on their faces. Here are the winners and losers during this…
You’re drunk and hungry. There is always Taco Bell, but even though you are an incoherent mess, you’re still a foodie. So for you there is the Alibi, the small counter service inside South Beach’s Lost Weekend. The menu features Philly cheese steaks, po’ boys, pulled-pork sandwiches, and burgers –…
Panic Bomber has released his first-ever music video, and much like Mr. Haig’s live performances, it’s over the top, kitschy, and energetic. The video, directed by Robothands, features a mix of animation and live action sequences, with Panic Bomber surrounded by a bevy of dancers, including TM Sisters, Nicole Soden,…
As if the promise of a big hipster party out at sea isn’t reason enough to pack up your favorite American Apparel swimsuit and head to sunny Miami in February … Now the Bruise Cruise (the world’s first-ever hipster cruise?) is throwing a pre-party at Grand Central February 24.The lineup reads like Pitchfork porn…
Label this as the least surprising booking for Ultra Music Festival 2011, but our sources have confirmed Carl Cox will be returning for the next edition of the annual event. His return will mark the seventh installment of the Carl Cox & Friends Arena at the festival.Festival Outlook also points…
PeachesBally Love Private EventMoore Building, MiamiThursday, December 2, 2010Better than: Everything else happening at that very moment.Reporters sometimes get a bad wrap for diva behavior at events. These low-lifes use clout to get in or try to get an extra something. I personally try to keep that to a minimum,…
If we are a little sluggish this morning, we have Mark Ronson to thank. We stopped by LIV at the Fontainbleau Hotel last night after watching LCD Soundsystem play for a bunch of old, rich people at the Raleigh during MOCA Los Angeles’ party. (There is nothing quite like the…
You came for the art. But art can’t scratch that itch. You can’t spoon with art. And you definitely can’t fuck art. But you know what you can screw around with? Hoity toity Basel, er, “beaver,” and there will be plenty of it this week.But these highly-literate, ego-driven creatures won’t…
Art Basel’s best bands and DJs
We were sort of jealous when local art collective FriendsWithYou put on its interactive display “Rainbow City” at Toronto’s Queen’s Park during the Luminato Festival. Sam Borkson and Arturo “Tury” Sandoval really haven’t done an interactive display in Miami since “Fun House” debuted at Scope Art Fair in 2008. So…
David Guetta at Mansion for Art Basel December 4
The Art Basel issue doesn’t hit newsstands until Thursday, but the complete issue is now available online, including our feature story on artist Bert Rodriguez, who in 2006 was reading bedtime stories to handful of people during Basel and now sells art, sight-unseen, to prominent collectors around the world. Monday,…
Well, that was easy. We weren’t entirely sure we’d be able to sneak our camera into the ultra-exclusive pop-up nightclub, Le Baron, at the Florida Room. But our photog, Ciara Osorio, snapped a few shots last night for Clubchaser.com. Here is a sample. Try not to think about “Look at…
If you’re a collector or a just plain art aficionado without the purchasing power and you’ve never attended O.H.W.O.W.’s It Ain’t Fair, you’re missing out on one of the week’s best satellite fairs. It’s not really much of a fair, though, as there’s only one gallery represented. But the curated…
