Wellington resident Rob Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice to you) is back with a brand new invention. Well, it’s kind of brand new. And kind of his invention. Either way, this collaboration with the Irish pop duo Jedward (teenage twins named John and Edward) went to number two on the UK…
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…
It is with great pleasure — and a bellyful of hops — that we announce that Fort Lauderdale rock and soul masters Community Property will open up Beerfest 2010.As you may have heard, New Times Broward-Palm Beach teamed up with Revoution Live to host a Battle of the Bands on…
Another Winter Music Conference in the books, party people. And if you’re reading this, it means you survived, which is commendable in and of itself. One always comes out the other side a little worse for wear, but satisfied. This year was no different.Friday we passed by Bayfront Park to…
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…

Yesterday, Los Angeles-based event HARD finally made its Miami debut, something we expected them to do ages ago. But did HARD live up to the hype? No and yes. We would have liked to have experienced HARD as a full-fledged production instead of a daytime pool party, but with the…
Exhaustion is setting in, but we here at Crossfade are trying to keep up the pace. So we are going to make this quick so we can go back to bed in order to rest up for Day 1 of Ultra Music Festival.Here is a video we shot Wednesday at…
A couple of months ago, British electro-indie-art-rock-retro-pop guy Dan Black made his first trip to Miami to play Dirty Hairy at LIV. (Check out a video here.) That night, he sat down with the New Times to talk about emerging music genres, ex-bandmates, copyright squabbles with the bride of B.I.G.,…
Busted in Licking County, Ohio, Richard Finch, co-founder of KC and the Sunshine Band, is being held on a $250,000 bond after his arrest Tuesday on a charge of “gross sexual imposition.”In other words, the way he likes it is with underage boys. Finch acknowledged inappropriate contact with “several” boys…

Music journalism can veer (re: careen out of control) into some real douche-y environs and while their…
Don’t think for a second that this house throwdown has anything at all to do with the knuckleheads from that inexplicably popular show Jersey Shore; in fact the keen cats behind this action are about as far-removed from those dimwits as one could get and still be in the Garden…
Aquabooty is Miami’s longest-standing and most esteemed house music party and since 2000 they’ve remained a bastion of uncompromising musical quality and unpretentious good vibes running against the prevailing current of commercial nightlife in this city. Having hosted some of the most memorable and intimate WMC house music parties in…
If the Shelborne day party yesterday was populist, Nikki Beach was relaxed but still pretty elite. Here, servers in billowing white pans scurried back and forth constantly with bottles of Dom P. Of course, everything at Nikki Beach is about more: More differently configured VIP arrangements than you might initially…
When Ice Cream and crew invaded El Warehouse (a live-work rental in Little Haiti) last Friday, there was supposed to be a keg. Five bucks for unlimited beer. Well … No go. Instead, kids packed the trunks of their clunkers with Bud tallboys, High Life, and other cheap alcohol options…
Although we already discussed SunFest’s New Music Night offerings, it would be poor form to let the day’s other additions go unmentioned. For the youth contingent, 20-year-old Sean Kingston already has a wealth of Caribbean-flavored catchy melodies in his arsenal. “Fire Burning” is the one that raised Stephen Colbert’s ire…
