Sexy, modern, and sleek are all words that would appropriately describe the lounge inside Tempo Miami, the hotel located within the Marquis building in downtown Miami. If you haven’t heard about it, don’t worry, you aren’t alone. While Tempo is technically open, they are still putting some finishing touches, so…
Panic BomberDiscipline EPYYZ RecordsSince naming Panic Bomber the Best New Electronica Artist last year, lot has changed for Richard Haig. He’s toured through the U.S., U.K., and Canada, and had a successful showcase during last month’s SXSW. And after two self-released albums, Calling in Threats and Getting on My Mind,…
Normally we’d be the first ones to turn our noses up at pop music, but there is just something about Rihanna that is so likable. Maybe it’s her seemingly down-to-earth attitude, or that she went through the whole Chris Brown scandal with class and dignity — even if the press…
We probably promised a few posts back that we wouldn’t talk about Winter Music Conference or Ultra Music Festival anymore, but we just stumbled across this great video of Afrobeta performing live at last month’s festival. The duo got an awesome late-evening slot on the Bayfront Live Stage, which sources…
Old money, posh hotels, and high-end shops are the norm in the 25 mph, sleepy Village of Bal Harbour. It’s the last place you’d think a so-hip-it-hurts music festival would take place. But the town will hold its inaugural Ten-in-One Music Festival at the One Bal Harbour Resort & Spa…
This past Winter Music Conference, the W South Beach held a private party in the penthouse of the hotel which featured a live performance by the Golden Filter (a personal favorite) and celebrated the release of Symmetry, a CD compilation curated by music director of the W brand, Michaelangelo L’Acqua.We…
When are we going to finally be able to get our post-WMC rest? It seems like things aren’t slowing down despite the colossal music event that finished a little more than a week ago. LIV’s Wednesday night party Dirty Hairy might have taken a break this week from booking a…
When you get two of the South’s best DJs in one room you know something special is going to happen. Klever and Craze are both known for bringing the bass — hard. Klever has been an ALT godsend, whose championship DMC titles, among others, are endless. Craze, of course, is…

If you’ve partied on South Beach, you’ve heard of Johnny the Boy or at least have heard him spin. The man is everywhere: Rokbar, Shore Club, Florida Room, Mokai — really we could go on forever. He got his start in Miami’s underground dance scene at parties like Revolver and…

If you aren’t aware of DiscoTech, the production trio is compromised of Midwesterns Joe Maz (who relocated here recently) and Gigamesh, along with local boy Danny Daze. Together they’ve produced remixed from Classixx, Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lykke Li, and more.Well now the group is also releasing their own material,…
Six years is nothing to scoff at in clubland. It’s a world where things come and go quicker than that Swedish tourist you slept with last week, or the burning sensation in your jock a few days later. Places that are hot one day, quickly become yesterday’s news. It’s a…
Need an excuse to keep partying well after the weekend is over? Leave it to the Opium Group and Mokai to give you a solution to your problem with Ransom, the Monday-night party at the recently renovated Collins Park lounge. The party, hosted by Mark Lehmkuhl, sort of takes now-defunct…
South Beach isn’t shy about separating the haves from the have-nots. In fact, it relishes in its power to make things inaccessible to most. Take, for example, the Florida Room at the Delano, the Lenny Kravitz-designed space that transformed the hotel’s basement into old Florida glamour with a modern twist…
We are sort of stretching this since Winter Music Conference wrapped up Sunday, but it just took a while to finally sit down and process everything we did over the course of last week. But here it is, our final call on all the great and not-so-great things that we…
Earlier, we let you know that Sub Pop’s No Age was scheduled to perform at this year’s Record Store Day at Sweat Records, also known as Sweatstock, but more details have finally been released. The all-ages events, taking place Saturday, April 17, will feature performances by Awesome New Republic, The…
We somehow survived the onslaught of Winter Music Conference events last week, and we look forward not having to party six days straight for a while. Right now we are taking a daily vitamin regiment in order to avoid the dreaded post-WMC flu, which considering the amount of unhealthy substances…
It’s over. Jesus Christ! It’s over! We are sad and glad at the same time. Sad because we have to wait another year for the next Ultra Music Festival. Glad because our city can return to some kind of normalcy, and we can finally go to bed at a decent…
Major LazerUltra Music Festival at Bicentennial Park, MiamiSaturday, March 27, 2009Better than: Ninety-nine percent of the acts at Ultra.Making fun, party music is a difficult thing to do. No, seriously. You can either go the obviously route and create straight-up track about partying (i.e. most of LMFAO’s catalog), but where’s…

Crossfade would like to bestow the best performance at this year’s Ultra Music Festival to Major Lazer — hands down the most engaging and energetic set we witnessed in the span of two days. The album, Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, was easily the most ambitious and progressive dance…
