​Anyone who has swung through Miami's Design District on any given Tuesday over the last two years would have noticed a fair bit of bedlam. Not that there have been riots -- but there has been the kind of heavy traffic that comes about when something successful is going down. In this case though, "successful" barely even begins to describe the mad action that takes place each week. The "it" in question is a party called Lavish, the hosts are the renowned Headliner Marketing Group, and the bash

The Andalusians are not from Spain; they are from Washington, D.C. They are not horses, either; they are nice white kids. Basla Andolsun is the lady in charge of the act, and to further stamp her über-coolness, her outfit's got a seven-inch out on Dischord Records (for the uninitiated, that's a a D.C. powerhouse of punk and indie music). Her sound is sweet blend of funky soul and indie rock, a nice musical amalgam from her days playing with Del Cielo and DC's bizarro Edie Sedgwick Band.However,

​DJ Brad Strickland, or Strickly B, as Miami clubland knows him, has been making his mark on the East Coast EDM scene for well over a decade now.

That little sweating cartoon guy logo was ubiquitous in the late '90s and early '00s, but the label refuses to stay mired in the past and remains one of the biggest brands in dance music.

Last year, his moody, slow-burning jam "Mauri's Dream" scored an "essential tune of the week" nod on Pete Tong's BBC One radio show for almost a month running. With that coronation, the track soon became the big-room, tech-house anthem of conference. And though this affable Frenchman is seemingly unflappable, even he admits to feeling some pressure. "I have so many tracks, and I don't know which one to push!" h
