Few people have perfected the art of the party like Julieanna Goddard, AKA YesJulz. The 25-year-old has already built a small empire on showing people a good time, and now is the self-proclaimed Director of Vibes at Yes Julz Agency, her own blossoming group of media-savvy women who dabble in everything…
Ask the world to close its eyes and say the first thing that comes to mind when it thinks of Miami nightlife. Chances are you’ll get a lot of Scarface, boobs, EDM, bottle service, and the occasional naked, ketchup-covered woman twerking at a Johnny Rockets. All of these things are technically…
“He was quiet.” Imagine that. Of all the words in all the land one could use to describe DJ Khaled, Gary Holzenthal chose “quiet.” It would have been less jarring to learn that his best friend was a llama. “We have had our fair share of characters, but as far…
Perhaps you’ve been wondering why we haven’t really been covering DJ Khaled’s spectacular rise from zany hip-hop character to national icon. He’s a Miami-based artist.

Madonna has the unique distinction of creating both the best and worst musical moments of the last three decades. Let’s start with the good: “Like a Prayer.” It’s one of the greatest pop songs ever written, a saintly anthem that squeezes and releases at all the right moments like a…
On June 26 and 27, the Cure will perform two back-to-back shows at Miami’s Bayfront Park. But chances are they won’t cover themselves in fake blood and take an evil doo-doo onstage. Luckily, there’s a brave soul out there who will. Miami’s Notorious Nastie, the Miami parody artist who brought…
In 2000, when Eddie Vedder was in Miami, he got drunk and recorded one of the most legendary jam sessions this city’s ever seen. 16 years later, Vedder’s older, wiser, and bringing his band, Pearl Jam, to Miami once again. One can only hope he downs a dozen Bud Lights…
It’s a sad day for Miami music. It’s a sad day for all music. Yesterday afternoon on Blowfly’s Facebook page, a message was posted declaring Clarence Reid, also known by the stage name Blowfly, had entered hospice care after suffering organ failure as a result of terminal liver cancer. Dear Blowfly…

Steve Aoki founded his independent record label Dim Mak in 1996, at the tender age of 19. His aim was to sign the best names in punk, indie, and electronic. 20 years later, it’s hard to imagine, sitting in his UCSB college apartment, he ever saw it getting this big…
Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign is not going smoothly. Unless the heads of all the dictionaries in America get together to change the definition of “smoothly” to mean: when one’s house explodes in a fiery spurt of diarrhea. If they do that, then, yes, Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign is…
Since the United States began its diplomatic thaw with Cuba in December 2014, we’ve seen a gradual exchange of culture between the two countries. Some developments were small, like when Netflix became available in Cuba. Or when the famous Havana cabaret, El Tropicana de Cuba, performed its first stateside show…
Asses of America, stop what you’re doing and listen. Rick Ross has offered up $10,000 to the best booty-shaking, ass-quaking, poop-making rear end on Instagram.

Few artists have ever burst onto the scene with the intensity of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. The beat of the duo’s 2012 smash single “Thrift Shop” — which sounds somewhat like a funky door hinge that could use a bit of oil — is forever ingrained in our minds. Even stranger,…
We’re strange creatures, us humans. Each time our planet completes another circle around the sun, we put on sparkly clothes, drink too much champagne, and try to find someone to connect lips with. Is it a ritual that makes sense? Not really. But it’s a tradition, and there’s no place…
Growing up, my family celebrated both Hanukkah and Christmas. My father, a Jew, helped us light the Menorah. My mother, a catholic, decorated the Christmas tree. And me, a greedy little materialistic boy with a sweet tooth, ate cake and opened presents until I passed out upon on a pile…
It’s easy to shove Miami music into a corner. Perhaps you think it’s all Latin rhythms or DJs in big, loud clubs. But the music in Miami, like the city itself, is stunningly diverse. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the best songs Miami musicians have released this year…
What a time to be in Miami. New Year’s Eve in the Magic City is always a big deal, and this year is no different. Pitbull, Questlove, and the Weeknd are but a slice of the artists coming to town on December 31, but the biggest name on the 2016 marquee…
Corey Jones called his older brother to let him know he’d be late. His SUV had broken down near the southbound I-95 exit ramp to PGA Boulevard. It was 2:52 a.m., and Corey had pulled onto the shoulder to wait for help. His older brother, Clinton Jr., would call back…
If you’ve been following Stitches lately, you probably know two things: One, the human race is heading in an interesting direction, and, two, he’s no fan of the Game. Stitches, who we profiled a year ago, has never been shy about speaking his mind and one of his biggest and…
Life and Death isn’t a label known for playing by the rules. Founded by Manfredi Romano (DJ Tennis) and Greg Oreck (50% of New York’s Thugfucker), the label has a reputation for producing dark, psychedelic tunes, tracks that take time to burrow deep inside your brain, to foreign regions dance music rarely…
