Filmmakers Bryan Lorenzo and Jose Luis Martinez on Nochebuena
When Bryan Lorenzo graduated from the University of Miami film program, he already had his next project in mind. As a transplant from Maryland, Lorenzo, though half-Dominican, had initially felt like a gringo fish out of water in Miami’s multi-culti seas. That was a feeling only amplified when he stared…
Designer Drugs Talk Hardcore/Softcore, Sex Cult, and the Dark Art of Remixing
Last week, Crossfade urged you to gobble some Designer Drugs and dance till death at the Fillmore Miami Beach’s July edition of the more-or-less monthly Honeymoon Series. So … Did you heed that advice? Did you cop a dose? Did you snag tix? Well, if not, here’s our second attempt…
12th Planet Talks Dubstep, Brostep, and Why Skrillex is the Future
Tomorrow marks dubstep ambassador 12th Planet’s much-anticipated return to Miami, when he’ll headline an evening at Grand Central rounded out by Juan Basshead, MC Jumanji, Animal Krackerz, and Mike Deuce. We reached him recently to chat about the past and current state of heavy bass. But there was too much…

Dance Till Death With Designer Drugs at the Fillmore Miami Beach July 23
Electronic music producers Michael Vincent Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, better known as Designer Drugs, represent the grimy underground club scene of the New York-Philly axis. Don’t expect to ever find them there, though. Almost as soon as Patrick and Nelson began the project, halfway through the last decade, they…
12th Planet Talks Pop Production, DJ Craze, and Hardcore
When 12th Planet (AKA John Dadzie) talks, the world of bass music listens. That’s because, as we explain in last week’s mini-feature on the DJ, producer, and label co-founder, the man has been hardcore since (electronic) hardcore was a new genre. Though it’s as a dubstep producer that he’s gained…
12th Planet Brings That Brutal Bass to Grand Central July 16
John Dadzie, better known as 12th Planet, is one of the reigning kings of American dubstep. He vividly remembers the first time he was smacked upside the head with heavy bass. It was the ’90s. He was a teenager in Los Angeles. And after years of deep house domination, the…
Break Up, Throw Down
Old electronic music genres don’t die — they just go back underground. Such is the story with breakbeats, the syncopated, synth-filled electro offshoot that ruled the Florida subterranean party scene until about a decade ago. (We even had our own special subgenre known as “Florida breaks.”) As the new millennium…

Shabba Ranks at Revolution July 2
The annual Flashback Night has revived classic Caribbean sounds in South Florida for the past five years. After a packed edition last year at Café Iguana Pines, the event returns this year even bigger and better at Revolution in downtown Fort Lauderdale. A true coup for the night’s promoters is…
Arboles Libres at Transit Lounge June 30
The guys of Miami-based Arboles Libres have become darlings of a wide swath of the South Florida scene thanks to their geographically inclusive musical approach. The rock en español crowd loves the group for its frequent foray into Spanish lyrics. That’s only a little piece of Arboles’ musical mosaic, though…

David Guetta Releases New Video With Flo Rida, Talks Hip-Pop Crossover
Turn on any Top 40 or urban radio station these days and it’s clear there’s been a massive sonic sea change. Gone from the biggest hits are the old trunk-rattling, snare-heavy, often Middle Eastern-inspired beats that dominated the mid 2000s. In their place is unabashed, anthemic, synth-heavy dance music propelled…
Jorge Moreno Talks Winning the International Songwriting Competition
Jorge Moreno’s “Thank You” is a gently unfolding, deceptive pop-rock paean to life’s simple pleasures. Its earworm tendencies come on slowly. The more you play the track, the more it reveals new flourishes — a roots-rock guitar lick here, a Beatles-esque wall of backing voices there. It also pays off…
Shabba Ranks Rides Dem Riddims and Sets Off Flashbacks at Revolution July 2

No Wave Riche
The so-called No Wave period of artistic expression, which flourished in ’70s and ’80s New York, was one of the last times artistic subcultures truly intermingled. It was a time when starving artists were really starving — not playing at trust-fund stuff — and the city was teeming with rats…
