Keeping this short: Everyone’s favorite South Florida band, Surfer Blood, premiered its first-ever music via Pitchfork today. The video has the same surreal feeling as the track itself. From what we can tell it wasn’t filmed in South Florida, which is rather disappointing, but there are some the state references…
When electroclash reached the height of popularity circa 2001, there was perhaps no icon bigger than Ladytron. With hits such as “Seventeen” and “Playgirl,” the Liverpool quartet had everyone dancing to icy beats aided by droned vocals. It’s a formula that has also helped acts such as Mount Sims, Miss…
British house music label and booking agency Milk’n’2 Sugars has been contributing to the dance music scene for 15 years. So it’s only fitting that they celebrate the milestone during the biggest gathering devoted to electronic music, Winter Music Conference.The agency will take over Klutch nightclub (136 Collins Avenue, Miami…
Hard has been bring electro-house to the masses in Los Angeles ever since blog-house exploded over the scene. Sometimes the events can go down as epic, but the event’s organizers have had a few blemishes too. We’ve got to say, we wondered when the organizers would expand the party to…
We’re keeping it simple today. Here is everything you missed across South Florida over the weekend:Stonefox’s Final Show at 1921We still don’t understand why one of South Florida’s most promising bands, Stonefox, has decided to call it a day, but we hope they all find success wherever this new path…
If there is one thing Germans do right, its electronic music. Some of the best consistently comes out Deutschland, Berlin in particular. Why? I’m not sure. But D.I.M. is definitely not an exception. The Boys Noize Records DJ/producer has found plenty of success behind the decks with tracks like “It’s…
Snobby, indie music site Pitchfork awarded Surfer Blood’s debut album, Astro Coast, an 8.2 rating, also tagging as “Best New Music.” However, if you’ve followed the bands meteoric rise, thanks in large part to Pitchfork, this doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise. The site has shown its love for the…
Looking to score $500? Are you handy with a camera? Do you enjoy local music? Well, Sweat Records has got a contest for you. The Little Haiti record store is calling for aspiring music video directors to act, animate or whatever Rachel Goodrich’s track “Light Bulb,” which as we know…
Yep, another Tamara Sky post. I’m not going to say much except she’s spinning at Louis tomorrow night for its Misfit party. She’ll loved my other post about the Sloppy Seconds event at White Room that she took of part of that she gave me a big hug when she…
Remember when her milkshakes brought all the boys to the yard? When she reminded you she was the first girl to scream on a track? If there is anyone who has been totally misunderstood by her peers, it’s R&B singer Kelis. She never truly found superstar success, but album after…
Don’t let anyone tell you DJing isn’t an art form. Being able to control a crowd of people — most who are probably drugged out of their minds — takes skill. Not everybody can DJing, no matter what W Magazine says. So why not prove your prowess on the decks…
Miami New Times is looking for bloggers with some professional writing experience and interest in food/drinks/restaurants to contribute to our award-winning coverage. Please email Chuck.Strouse@miaminewtimes.com with a resumé and three or four of your best clips. No phone calls please…
South Beach should be worried — very worried. As the years pass, the area is becoming more homogeneous, with little difference from venue to venue. Opium Group keeps gobbling up every property that goes up for sale with the same focus on bottle service and VIP experience. Not that there…
New Times and Gibson Musical Instruments are pleased to announce that we’ve put up for auction a Special Edition Reverse Flying V Gibson Guitar designed by South Florida artist Lebo. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction will go toward Partners in Health’s relief efforts in Haiti. Bidding…
With the cold weather long gone, South Florida came out of hibernation and in full force. Plenty of events keep the area busy with activity as the high season seems to finally be in full swing.Wolf + Lamb at Electric PickleNYC label Wolf + Lamb took over Electric Pickle Friday…
We reported yesterday about the tax documents uncovered by The Smoking Gun that made Haitian-born musician and producer Wyclef Jean’s NGO, Yéle Haiti, seem a bit self-serving. While Yéle Haiti has probably done plenty of good for the impoverish nation, the numbers and circumstances still raises a lot of red…
If there is one party that never fails to attract the masses during Winter Music Conference, it’s Juicy Beach. The event, spearheaded by house DJ/producer Robbie Rivera, takes over Nikki Beach (1 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach) for over 16 hours of non-stop partying , and this year it will be…
I’m perhaps not Dim Mak founder and DJ Steve Aoki’s biggest fan. He puts on too much of a show not enough interest in the music for my taste, but I understand why people like him. He’s charismatic and his DJ sets are more akin to a mosh pit at…
Okay, so I’ll admit this post is really just about posting another hot-as-fuck picture of DJ/model Tamara Sky. So sue me. I’ve already publicly admitted my love for her. So sorry that from time to time I want to look at something pretty.That being said, despite her astonishing good looks,…
Let us tell you about the situation, brah. The situation is that you spent good money to get that perfect orange, radioactive-like glow. The situation is that your blowout is looking hella good tonight. The situation is that you’re so juiced up that the only way you are going to…
We’ve been a little quiet lately on LIV’s Wednesday night party Dirty Hairy. Partly because the acts that have been booked lately are more gimmicky than actually, er, talented. Nothing wrong with gimmick — a mega-club of LIV’s size needs to make money — but let’s not sit here and…
Warning: Kesha-bashing post to follow.I almost threw up in my mouth when New York Times wrote a piece of trashy pop star Kesha and made comparisons to Philly MC Amanda Blank. Yea, they are both white and they rap, but Blank has been doing it for years and has plenty…
