Back in August, Head Spins gave you the goods on WDNA DJ Gene De Souza, whose Café Brasil show has been heating up the local radio waves every Sunday for the past seven years. But De Souza’s show is not the only hot action coming out of the true-blue independent…
Head Spins: DJ Edwin Adams takes up residence in midtown
Long before South Beach became a hotbed of mediocrity, there lurked a contingent of sound and vision aficionados known as the Deep House Movement. DHM’s core consisted of Omar Suardy, from New York, Stephen Flynn, from Ireland, and Edwin Adams, a Florida boy who had little in common with those…
Old-school South Beach DJ Ruben Pagan returns as King Domino
When New Times featured Music is a Weapon over the summer, the Magic City hustlers were giddy with go after a 7-day Netherlands stand that saw the band treated like the rock stars they’re destined to become. You could see the sparkling stars in their eyes, refracting back from the…

Tomas Ceddia spins at Aquabooty’s annual Fuck Art, Let’s Dance throwdown
You can’t buy it anymore, so don’t even bother trying. Not only has EMI Records prevented it from being officially released to the public, but a site-specific offering of book and (blank) CD-R sold out before the grouchy label heads could even sic their mouthpieces on the culprits. And while…
The Rolling StonesGet Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! 40th Anniversary Edition (ABKCO)In rock and roll, 1969 was perhaps the most historic year of the 20th Century. Of course both The Isle of Wight and Woodstock went down that year. Black Sabbath and The Doobie Brothers were formed. And, yes, the Beatles broke…

Head Spins: DJ Meta 4, Club Space’s hip-hop heavyweight

The girls came in numbers fit for a rock star — droves, from East and West and North and South and points beyond what any mere compass could position. And they were draped in shades no rainbow ever even fathomed. Think all the colors of all the rarest tropical fish…
Unmitigated cool never goes outta style. Ever. Especially when said cool comes from one of the originators. See then it’s something at once insidious and divine, a thing in and of itself, unexplainable, indefinable and blessed beyond belief.That kinda cool also tends to be highly emulated. And no one was…
Head Spins: DJ Todd Stylez, the Bahamas’ number one export
Nassau’s gone funky and Nassau’s got soul. Just ask The Beginning of the End, the band that sang all about just that in the classic “Funky Nassau.” In fact, contrary to hum-drum, steel drum clichés, the Bahamian capital always has swung to a relatively citified beat.So it only makes sense…
Caribbean beats may be in Miami’s blood, and when you track the rhythms back to Africa, their enduring presence does make a sort of sense. But of all the beats in all the world, wouldn’t it make just as much sense for us to embrace the rhythms of East as…
