When Luca Venezia began his career as a musician, he dabbled mostly in experimental breakcore and drum ‘n’ bass, releasing music under Kid 606’s label Tigerbeat6.

When Luca Venezia first started his career a musician, he dabbled mostly in experimental breakcore and drum’n’bass, releasing music under Kid 606’s label Tigerbeat6. But later, under the moniker Drop the Lime, his fame grew as he embraced more current popular styles like electro-house and dubstep. But don’t accuse him…
Mr. Oizo Lamb’s Anger (Ed Banger) “You are about to hear a collection of some recorded stuff. Some are good. Some are bad. Some are just okay,” admits the robotic vocals a minute into the opening track of Mr. Oizo’s Lambs Anger album, “Hun.” She doesn’t tell you which fall…
As a frequent patron of White Room on Saturday nights, I definitely have seen my fair share of odd things. But this past Saturday, I probably spotted the oddest thing yet: A-list actor Matt Damon sitting at the outdoor patio bar with an entourage of people who didn’t exactly look…
We’re hoping the current cold snap disappears this weekend. We don’t know if we can handle another night of freezing temperatures. Why? Because Miami’s nightlife scene isn’t equipped to handle cold patrons. Clubs lack coat checks, so if you bundle up to keep warm outside, you’re most likely going to…
Scion House Party with The Juan MacLean, Still Going, Induce and Jessica Who?Wednesday, January 21, 2009The Vagabond, MiamiBetter than: Crouching near your heater for warmth.People huddled at the entrance of The Vagabond Wednesday night with a sense of urgency to get inside. Maybe it was the dip in temperature or…
Yo! Majesty was schedule to perform at White Room around 10:30 p.m. but didn’t show up until midnight. The promoters weren’t too happy and told Yo! Majesty that the gig was off. Needless to say, Yo! Majesty wasn’t happy either. Not sure if they eventually did go on since I…
We know today isn’t a national holiday, but it sure feels like one. So just in case you are stuck at work, rather than freezing your ass off in Washington D.C., Hulu is streaming the presidential inauguration live. So sit back, relax and press play. Just make sure to turn…
It’s been a while since The Juan MacLean has had a stop in Miami, and while he won’t exactly be playing live, we are still excited to hear him spin. Since his last release, 2005’s Less Than Human, we’ve only had a handful of tracks and remixes to hold us…
We aren’t exactly a fan of the cold weather. Every time someone says, “I love when Miami gets chilly,” we resist the urge to hurt them. We don’t live in Miami because of the cold weather — in fact, that’s why we live in Miami, because it doesn’t get cold…
Funniest. SNL. Skit. Ever. Favorite part, when actress Rosario Dawson, who plays a Cuban lady, says she bought a Rumsfeld portrait not knowing who it was. It looked like her “Tio Pepe.”…
There are few places in South Florida that have a more devoted following than Royal Castle. Its fans are so faithful that original mini-burger joint White Castle never found success here. Naturally, it was a grim day for many folks when Wayne Arnold’s Royal Castle was forced to close down…
At times I forget that Michigan native Iggy Pop now calls the Magic City home. In fact, last I heard he lived in the Village of El Portal, a small municipality located between Miami and Miami Shores — which also happens to be the area I grew up in.Well, Pop’s…
Should we be worrying, ya’ll? Economy is going to shit. Let’s hope Obama fixes things soon after he gives Bush the boot from the White House next week. Until then, there shall be more drinking and partying to forget we are on the verge of going broke.Here is what you’ll…
There hasn’t been much word going around about this, but Spank Rock DJ XXXChange will be spinning tomorrow at PS14 for the bar’s Happy House party. Also on the bill are resident DJs Jonathan Brody, Carlos Llanos, C. Mora and Benton.If you either love or hate the current wave of…
When Plum TV execs asked us to appear on their new show, Juice, I asked the producer if she was sure. See, Plum is a classy affair, and we aren’t 944 (not that we’d want to be that hot mess of a magazine) or Ocean Drive; we write about stripper murders…
It’s often the complaint of many that South Beach has become stale, particularly its DJs, who seem completely content with spinning the usual Top 40/hip-hop mess that really is no different than you just turning on your car’s stereo. But if there is one DJ that is try to walk…
We think the downturn in the economy is finally having a widespread effect on Miami. We’re beginning to notice some low attendance at events we think should have performed better. It also seems every conversation we have with people is whether they are still employed. Let’s hope we get out…
Saturday night, wandering the urban wasteland known as Wywnood, I stopped by the Bombay Saphire lounge behind the David Castillo Gallery. As I drank some gin, club soda and lemonade concoction, MAP Magazine publisher Michael Sheehan greeted me and nonchalantly told me “I’m closing MAP.” Mouth agape, I asked him…
The effects of the economy are being felt in every industry imaginable, most of all the ones that entertain and nourish us. The restaurant industry, from celebrity chefs right on to busboys, dishwashers, and even food producers and farmers are more than feeling the pinch. Fine establishments in Coral Gables…
So despite what other whiny sports journalists have to say, someone will be going home a winner tonight at Dolphin Stadium. Our sister blog, The Juice, will be live blogging the whole thing directly from the press box at the stadium. So if you are looking for some refreshing online…
Happy New Year, ya’ll! It’s 2009 and with the economy going south, everyone seems to be looking for answers at the bottom of a bottle — and that means more parties! And January is already gearing up to be spectacular. But let us not get ahead of ourselves, because here…
