A few week ago we issued a new trend alert for downtown Miami’s hipsterati being asked to host and promote parties at the usually uptight South Beach nightclubs. But this week we are uncovering an even newer trend, former Miami nightclubs moving north to Broward County.Remember crobar? The infamous Chicago…
Note to self: Valentine’s Day on the weekend sucks. At least we can avoid the shitty corporate holiday when it falls on a weekday, but it’s a little hard to do on a Saturday. The only thing we felt a couple of days ago was the urge to punch everyone…
Now that Ultra’s lineup has finally been unveiled, it’s time to move on the what the local clubs will be putting on. There are certain things we are concerned about for this year’s Winter Music Conference: Are there going to be enough people in town this year to support all…
So in addition to yesterday’s news of the unexplainable choice of booking the Black Eyed Peas for next month’s Ultra Music Festival, the final phase of the lineup has been announced. Notable additions include Rinton, Rye Rye, Surkin, Para One and Shiny Toy Guns to Day 1, and MSTRKRFT, BT…
There are some things in this world better left unexplained, but this is definitely not one of them. It’s been confirmed that the Black Eyed Peas (yes, the very same ones that created the weapon of mass destruction called “My Humps”) are set to perform at Ultra Music Festival next…
Really, we don’t know why are shocked anymore. It’s getting obvious that clubs are grasping anything in order to stay afloat. But during our daily Pitchfork read, we stumbled upon the news that M.I.A./Santogold producer/DJ Diplo would be spinning at LIV alongside Dave 1 of Chromeo Wednesday, March 4.LIV is…

If there are two prominent figures in South Florida’s small blogosphere, they are definitely former Stuck on the Palmetto, current South Florida Daily Blog blogger Rick, and Val Prieto and company at Babalu. And they couldn’t be more polar opposites: Rick is decisively liberal, while Babalu’s anti-Castro rhetoric keeps them on…
If there is one guide to Winter Music Conference (other than our own, of course), it’s definitely The List. It’s the official guide to everything WMC, and while it’s obviously still incomplete, there are a lot of interesting events already listed.Most of the list so far compromises the downtown clubs,…
Wanting to get in the mood for Valentine’s Day, our cameras ventured out Monday night for Dream’s Chat Noir party. If you haven’t been, you are missing out on one of the hottest parties on the beach that features sexy burlesque dancers and brave clubbers that still want to keep…
We definitely had a good weekend filled with penthouse parties and plenty of booze. Sadly, most talk was about whether we still had jobs. That made us wonder if this would be the newest pick-up line:”Hey, babe, do you still have a job? You do? Want to come back to…
We are hungover today for a reason. Good Clean Fun at Rokbar is what happens when you pair downtown party promoters Poplife and South Beach’s only rock lounge. We caught a few snapshots last night in hopes of remembering what happened. Our heads are throbbing, so please view in silence…
Last night, it was unusually cold for South Florida but things got hot over at Respectable Street in West Palm Beach where Designer Drugs spun at the venue’s Flaunt party. Our cameras made it out to catch half of the DJ duo in action…

Bottle service is surely going the way of the dinosaur, and the industry knows if it’s going to survive its got to find untapped market.Enter in the downtown hipster promoters.Often relegated…
The sudden closure of Circa 28 late last year came as a shock to us. However, after the bar parted ways with Sweat Records’ Lolo Reskin, Circa’s Saturday nights were never really the same. By the end, Safe promoter Diego Martinelli came in and booked acts like M.A.N.D.Y. to play,…
Apparently, people can’t pass up free food. This was the scene outside of Denny’s at 3600 Biscayne Boulevard, near our offices in Midtown. We also encountered plenty of traffic around the intersection due to people going in and out of the Denny’s parking lot. Unfortunately, we aren’t patient enough to…
There was a lot of talk this morning of Langerado 2009 being cancelled, but before we started spreading rumors we wanted to hear it directly from the source. Unfortunately, we found out that the rumors were indeed true. There are many probable factors as to why the festival got the…
The temperature dropped again this weekend, but we our counting our blessings because we aren’t freezing our asses off in the dark like some people in Kentucky. We’ll take post-hurricane humidity over freezing-cold any day.So while we warm up, here is what you missed over the weekend:Estelle and John Legend…

ZOMG, ya’ll! Did you watch last night’s Super Bowl edition of Top Chef? Poor Jeff McInnis got the boot. We feel for him. The chef from the DiLido Beach Club at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach couldn’t wrap his head around why the judges preferred season 2’s Josie Smith-Malave’s warm ceviche…

We’re two months away from the monstrosity known as Winter Music Conference. While we’re hearing of plenty of parties being scale back this year, we still know it’s going to be amazing. But again, that’s still two months away, so for now we are going to get excited about what…
