Back in my days over at Miami Nights, I liked to close out the year by looking back at all the music I discovered where I spend most of my time -- in nightclubs. It's always interesting to see what makes it big the following year, because downtown club in particular tend to be ahead of the curve. So ... More >>
Ultra Music Festival released the second phase of its lineup, and while the biggest names in the list offer no big surprises, a number of other, smaller acts added to the bill demonstrate more of the festival's forward-thinking approach this year.

Justin NamonBoys Noize being a little shy at Louis.Yes, I'm not going to be very popular by saying this, but Day 1 of Ultra Music Festival sucked.

The Golden FilterWe're about a month away from Art Basel Miami Beach, and yes, the art tends to be the bigger focus, but a great bonus is usually the influx of musical performers during the week. Last year alone, we saw performances by Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, Panda Bear, The Gossip, MS ... More >>
The Golden Filter's take on late-'70s downtown glitz has taken Manhattan's club scene (and the blogosphere) by storm. Consisting of record producer Stephen and vocalist Penelope, the duo is notable for its chilly arpeggios, pulsating beats, and plush vocals -- as well as their elusive personas. (N ... More >>
If you're a fan of Cut Copy, you'll love Miami Beach incarnation Crystal Cadillac.

Afrobeta needs little introduction to Crossfade readers, but the band is finally and deservedly gaining some serious international traction.

Everything looks so much nicer through their Golden FilterSometimes we like to think of how much nicer life would be if we viewed everything through rose-colored glasses -- or through the Golden Filter.

If you're old enough to remember vinyl LPs, then you know that album design used to be an art unto itself.

Art-pop maestros !!! (pronounced Chk Chk Chk) are a rowdy, snarky blast, punctuated by rippling bass sweeps, woozy synth codas, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
