Six years is nothing to scoff at in clubland. It’s a world where things come and go quicker than that Swedish tourist you slept with last week, or the burning sensation in your jock a few days later. Places that are hot one day, quickly become yesterday’s news. It’s a…

We are sort of stretching this since Winter Music Conference wrapped up Sunday, but it just took a while to finally sit down and process everything we did over the course of last week. But here it is, our final call on all the great and not-so-great things that we…
We somehow survived the onslaught of Winter Music Conference events last week, and we look forward not having to party six days straight for a while. Right now we are taking a daily vitamin regiment in order to avoid the dreaded post-WMC flu, which considering the amount of unhealthy substances…
It’s over. Jesus Christ! It’s over! We are sad and glad at the same time. Sad because we have to wait another year for the next Ultra Music Festival. Glad because our city can return to some kind of normalcy, and we can finally go to bed at a decent…

Crossfade would like to bestow the best performance at this year’s Ultra Music Festival to Major Lazer — hands down the most engaging and energetic set we witnessed in the span of two days. The album, Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, was easily the most ambitious and progressive dance…

We will save our review for Ultra Music Festival Day 1 for another post, but we just quickly wanted to post video of Little Boots and Passion Pit’s performances on the main stage of the festival. We actually left right after Passion Pit’s turn because the days were a bit…
