With New York, London, and Milan out of the way, it’s time for the real star of the fashion-week show: Miami. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but that doesn’t mean Funkshion Miami Fashion Week is anything to scoff at. The week begins with a colorful bang courtesy of former Heatherette designer Richie…
It wasn’t too long ago that N.E.R.D performed like at the somewhat dysfunctional Future Classic Festival. But that didn’t stop them from giving Miami a weekend full of alt hip-hop (arguably N.E.R.D are the original hipster-hoppers).But this past weekend’s performances, both at the W South Beach and Kia Soul Collective…
When Cameo opened in 2007, it marked Louis Puig’s first venture in South Beach. After success with Space in Miami’s Park West district, it only made sense that Puig would be able to do it again across the causeway. Well, that didn’t exactly turn out to be true as rumors…

South Beach’s Rokbar (1905 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach) is sort of a misnomer for the lounge. It’s neither a rock ‘n’ roll club or bar. Instead the lounge focuses on bringing together beautiful people with a knack for bottle service and plenty of attitude.Still, the venue has always made a…
When Kanye West and Lady Gaga announced they’d be touring together we can’t say we were all that excited. Both represent many of the things wrong with pop music. West can’t keep his ego in check, and Gaga thinks the more eccentric she acts the more authentic she is. Word…
If anyone has had an amazing year, its definitely been the quirky electronic duo from Portland YACHT. After being relegated to relative obscurity since its inception in 2003, their breakthrough came after Claire Evans joined Jona Bechtolt in 2008 transforming the solo act into a duo.Evans contributes much of YACHT’s…

We aren’t ones to brag about hanging out with quasi-famous people, but on Halloween 2006, the Sounds played a secret show at the now-defunct Studio A. Afterward, they spun at the Redroom at Skybar located inside the Shore Club. There couldn’t have been more than 50 people there, and we…
Lamborghini, Maybach, Ferrari, Kia. Yes, Kia. You don’t know it yet, but the South Korean car might be the next thing you’ll rollin’ down the street on 22s. Auto companies making their brand appealing to young adults through free events isn’t exactly new — Scion has been doing it for…
You read correctly: former Daft Punk manager and Ed Banger head honcho Pedro Winter (a.k.a. Busy P) is coming to Miami. This will be his first DJ set in the Magic City since Ed Banger took over Studio A for its Fixed WMC party in 2007.Busy P’s appearance is part…
Far up north, Toronto’s Mod Club hosts a Friday night party called Arcade. Produced by Embrace, a local production company, it books some of the most amazing dance music acts all year long. But it seems the company wants to making itself known in Miami — perhaps just in time…
Last time indie-electro outfit Junior Boys played in the Magic City it was during Winter Music Conference 2007 at Poplife’s awkward temporary venue Post, a restaurant/lounge located on the edge of Brickell directly on Coral Way. The duo was no stranger to the city’s indie set after it had easily…

Despite us bashing PETA for its excessive use of sex to sell its point, we admit we were a bit intrigued that the group was planning to stage a “lie-in” at Bayfront Park while posing as “naked fish.” Can’t blame us for getting excited about any kind of disturbance in…
Everybody’s favorite (ironic?) Miami bass/freestyle/electro quartet Miami Bass Warriors are finally getting around to celebrating the release of their 12″ EP.

Dutch DJ/producer Laidback Luke cut his teeth on the European house scene in the mid-’90s, and since then, he’s been one of the world’s top DJs. The guy holds the number 46 position on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list. It’s easy to see why he’s achieved such accolades by…
Dylan Eiland, better known as Le Castle Vania, is a product of the mid-decade electro-house scene — or blog-house — which produced superstars like Justice, MSTRKRFT and Steve Aoki. While many proclaimed the genre was here to stay, it didn’t last. Instead, it evolved and quickly replaced by nu-disco, progressive…
