I know it’s been awhile since you BYOBed -– like in high school, back when you used to sneak-sip Special Brews on some public beach on Key Biscayne while discussing the ever-important topic of whether to get a belly-ring, a fairy tattooed on your lower back, or just blow all…
DJ Behrouz, the San Francisco native and now Miami Beach transplant, will be spinning live tomorrow night at Mansion to celebrate the release party of his two-disc mix CD Pure Behrouz. We sat down to talk with him about how the album came about, as well about his new label…
It’s Chrome-o-o-o-o-oh! Oh Chromeo. We remember seeing you play at Circa 28 during Winter Music Conference 2007. Back then, you had released your debut album She’s In Control, which was filled with syrupy synthetic beats and Prince-like melodies — in other words, it was sex on a platter served via…
Hey Pitbull, we sincerely hope you read this post. Not because we want to bash you. In fact, you sort of like you. When you commanded us to shake our “culo” we gladly obliged, and when you teamed up with the Ying Yang Twins to simply command us to “shake”…
In this week’s issue of the New Times, writer Francisco Alvarado looks into the history of Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart and their probable exit as U.S. congressmen after years of strong support from their districts. It’s a reality facing many Republican candidates as a wave of anti-Republican sentiment is sweeping…
Everyone rejoice! The loud continuous thump of the bass all over Miami is only a few months away. Yes, every March the dance music community congregates in Miami for Winter Music Conference, bringing with it superstar DJs and parties galore. But it’s easy to forget that despite all the debauchery…
Treasure Fingers: the man with the magic fingers. Tonight, Fool’s Gold Records invades White Room to celebrate the release of its two-disc Scion A/V compilation Fool’s Gold Remixed. Last time the Fool’s Gold DJs — Nick Catchdubs, Nacho Lovers, Treasure Fingers and Jokers Of The Scene — gave the decks…
Tiffany Rainey MIA Skatepark’s Matt Cantor quizzing some kids on their multiplication tables (seriously). DJ Z-Trip at the Habitat Skateboard Demo Saturday, October 8, 2008 MIA Skatepark, Doral Better Than: Lurking on Lincoln Road Z-Trip who? Though sponsor Fuji Film probably shelled out a pretty penny to get the King…
We don’t know what’s better: the zero humidity or the temperature starting to cool down. We are glad to see that our version of “fall” is finally starting. Some complain that Miami’s lack of seasonal change is a negative, but we fail to see the fun of driving on icy…

Meat Loaf Saturday, October 18, 2008 Pompano Beach Amphitheatre, Pompano Beach Better Than: Mashed Potatoes If you believe rocker Meat Loaf’s songs and his stage antics, the guy…
Tony Vargas Our cameras stopped by Set last night to scope out the scene. What did we find? Plenty of beautiful people there to catch San Francisco DJ Miguel Migs. Click here to view the full slideshow…
Dwayne Nelson The Hip-Hop Live Tour Featuring: B.O.B., David Banner, Talib Kweli Thursday, October 16, 2008 Revolution, Fort Lauderdale Better than: MP3s, CD’s and DAT Machines Last night’s hip-hop buffet at Revolution offered fans a lot of quality “elements” to enjoy.

So Ike never came but still managed to rain on our parade forcing us to push back our Iron Fork event. Finally, with no hurricane in sight, Iron Fork comes to the Miami Science Museum October 30. Five chefs will be competing for the title including Mark Liderman of Forte…
We feel it. It’s going to to be one of those weekends — you know, the ones where you see the sunrise every night. Why? Because there is so much to do this weekend that we had a hard time condensing it to this list. Tonight, all the way from…
All the way from Italy comes the Crookers, a DJ duo who basically put its nation on the electro-house map. For a country who loves its traditional house, it’s refreshing to see someone actually breaking the mold and the Crookers have no problem doing so. So when they stop by…
Justin Namon GrandMarnier, Julie Budet (a.k.a. Yelle) and Tepr. When French electro-pop trio Yelle’s C’est La Amerique tour stopped at the Magic City last Friday, we decided it was a good opportunity to meet with the group face-to-face. We originally hoped to spend the day with Yelle, getting to know…
Ah, Uffie, the Ed Banger artist who claims she is from Miami originally but whose story doesn’t exactly add up. What we know is true is that Uffie at one point attended Nova High School in Davie, but she has admitted to moving around a lot as a child, so…
Ugh, we can’t believe it’s coming already. Our bodies were just starting to recover from the havoc known as Winter Music Conference. But lo and behold! Ultra Music Festival organizers have announced via a newly redesigned Web site that UMF tickets go on sale this month. For how much? We…
The Miami Dolphins dropped to 2-3 after a frustrating 29-28 loss to the Texans yesterday. When the Fins defense caught two early interceptions and Patrick Cobbs scored a 53-yard and an 80-yard touchdown, and it seemed like Joey Porter was going to turn Texans left tackle Duane Brown into his…
Kamelot Saturday, October 10, 2008 Culture Room, Fort Lauderdale Better Than: Sweating through two layers of leather in the Fort Lauderdale humidity. Friday night, Culture Room was packed full of long-haired, black-clad melodic metal fans (you know, the people death metal fans beat up and steal lunch money from) and…
The wet weekend streak continues. Not that we don’t enjoy the cooler temperatures, but we can’t exactly drink our economic sorrows away at the city’s many outdoor lounges when the skies open up. The dry season will be here soon though and with it comes brown lawns and tougher water…
Daft Punk tried to warn us. With the U.S. economy tanking, we can’t help but to feel a little pessimistic about our future. We reverted to our inner 15-year-old, which happened to grow up in the go-go ’90s of excess and wealth (a.k.a. the Clinton years), and decide to make…
