South Beach loves to glamorize social decay, so it isn’t surprising that Amsterdam’s red-light district, De Wallen, has gotten the SoBe spit-polish treatment. The area, arguably a cesspool of criminal gang activity and human trafficking, is brought to life — minus any actual prostitution — when De Wallen Rouge brings…
Since 2006, Josh Young and Curt Cameruci have been making crowds dance their asses off from coast to coast, as well as overseas. As Flosstradamus, they’ve given the remix treatment to huge indie acts such as Matt & Kim and Mates of State. Meanwhile, their own original output has been…
I’m a little late to game on this, but last month ANR released a new music video for its track “The Endless Field of Mercury,” a very bold number that starts out slow but turn into sort of call-to-action after about a minute. Personally, I’ve always been sort of “meh”…
Got to give it to Afrobeta. After performing at this year’s Ultra Music Festival — and nabbing a Best of Miami award for “Best Band” along the way — the PR machine has been working nonstop to keep the forward momentum. The duo just got back from playing several European…

If you know me, you know how I feel about Lady Gaga and how she’s running the biggest pop scam since Milli Vanilli. But I can put aside my feelings aside for a moment to bring you a snapshot from this year’s Lollapalooza in Chicago courtesy of our sister paper,…

It wasn’t long ago that Toronto duo AutoErotique was known as VNDLSM, which closely resembles the name of another vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo. Perhaps it was because they signed to the Dim Mak label — also home to that other vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo — that the pair changed its…

I love Sasha Grey. Not in the creepy guy-who-stalks-porn-stars kind of way. I truly think she’s becoming a post-modern feminist icon. Some may disagree because pornography is often considered inherently misogynistic. But I’m not always sure Grey does porn because she wants to get men off, as much as she…
As you may have heard, M.I.A. has a new album out. She also performed a string of North American tour dates before jetting off to Europe for the summer festival circuit. Part of that schedule originally included a set at Hard Summer Festival in Los Angeles and New York.Unfortunately, for…
