There was a moment last year where Gucci Mane, the Atlanta-born hip-hop superstar, became not just a celebrity, but a role model. It was in an interview with Vogue magazine, a pairing of publication and subject that would have been unthinkable just three years before, when he was convicted for…

I have a confession: I’ve never done drugs. I’ve never snorted blow or dropped acid or even lit up a joint. I’m not straight-edge or anything, and I’ll happily have a drink at the right time and place. But anything beyond that has never really appealed to me, not even…

On the surface, the city of Miami is the polar opposite of Wasilla, Alaska, hometown of the alternative-rock band Portugal. The Man. The two cities are across a continent from each other, and Wasilla sees as many snowy days as Miami sees sunny ones. Alaska has vast forests and grand…

Any dance music fan worth her weight in vinyl recognizes Chicago and Detroit as the birthplaces of house and techno, respectively. Some of the pioneers, such as house godfather Frankie Knuckles and James Stinson of the undersea-themed techno group Drexciya, have passed on. But many others have become veterans in…

Less than three months from now, thousands of EDM-crazed festivalgoers will descend upon Bayfront Park for Ultra’s 2017 run. If you’re hoping to join the party, you need to act quickly. Tickets are almost sold out.
