Hipster girls flashing their tits and a DJ with a French touch — what could be better? Well, the fact that it’s happening during the week of Art Basel is a bonus. And it’s all going down at Louis (2325 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach) December 4.If you aren’t familiar with…
What makes a party America’s Best Party? We’re not entirely sure, but if you have a strong desire to give show some hometown love, Miami’s own Poplife is nominated for the title in Paper Magazine’s Fifth Annual Nightlife Awards. The uber-hipster publication has pitted the party against other hipster nights…
We were more excited this weekend about the upcoming long weekend plus all the Basel fun that will follow. Still there were a few things that caught our attention. So here is what you missed over the weekend:Vivid Video Porn Star Ball at CameoVivid Video sure gets around within the…
Mark this as a must: Annie, who is best known for her tracks “Chewing Gum” and “I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me,” will be making a quick stop at LIV in Miami Beach November 25 for a DJ set alongside Ross One and Contra. We’d really like for this to…

The ’80s brought Reaganomics, Rubik’s Cube, New Coke, Madonna, the end of the Cold War, high-tops, Swatches, and teased hair. They’re all awesome, so it’s no wonder that local indie record store Sweat Records holds an annual ode to the decade with its ’80s Prom. Already in its seventh year,…
We’re just going to come out and say it: The only reason OK Go has enjoyed any kind of popularity is because of that darn “quirky” music video. Their songs are okay at best, so we’re a little shocked that they’ve been tapped by forward-thinking fair Design Miami/ for a…

Logistically it doesn’t…
Weekends are so busy there is bound to be stuff we’ve forgotten to highlight. But here are two high-profile events you might just want to check out:First up, Samanthan Ronson, who’s better known as Lindsay Lohan’s on-again/off-again girlfriend than for her DJ skills, will be helping Louis at the Gansevoort…
You probably know Samantha Ronson better for her tabloid magazines and gossip site notoriety than for her skills as a DJ. For a while, even we played a game of is-she-or-is-she-not when her seemingly 24/7 companion, fallen starlet Lindsay Lohan, fueled speculation the two were romantically involved. And when the…
Yes, you read it correctly. Just in time for Art Basel Miami Beach, Mansion is bringing French electrohouse duo Justice to Miami Friday, December 4.The pair haven’t really played a proper club set since Winter Music Conference 2007 when they spun at the Fixed/Ed Banger party at Studio A. They’ve…
With the high season in full swing, the events just keep rolling into South Florida. It was a busy weekend that even with a case of the post-Halloween doldrums that almost kept us at home, there was just too much to do and see. So here is what you missed…
The Art Basel Miami Beach music news just keeps coming. This time we’ve received word that the Vivian Girls, Exene Cervenka and the Blow will be performing at Pulse Miami Art Fair, which moves to Ice Palace Studios this year. Their performances are part of the fair’s Pulse Miami Performance…

Earlier today, freelancer writer Riki Altman posted an emailed Q&A she did with chef Jacques Pépin. What was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek interview was blown way out of proportion. Pépin answer that he had “hooked up” with 10,000 people he had previously worked with read as an obvious misunderstanding…
If there is one guarantee in life is that Ultra Music Festival’s lineup is always one of the best in the country. Need proof? Early-bird, two-day tickets to the festival, which sold for $99.95, are gone. What’s impressive is that it happened without a single act being announced for the…
Good news Miami! Food site Eater has deemed us worthy enough of our very own section on its site. Helmed by Miami Herald gossip columnist Lesley Abravanel, the Miami section of Eater is sure to keep us in the loop of the Magic City’s foodie scene. Plenty of local blogs…
Last time Santigold (a.k.a., Santi White, formerly Santogold) was in Miami, she played at Ultra Music Festival back in March. Unfortunately, she was relegated to an early slot on the first day of the festival, so she played to a sparse crowd. We missed her set all together because it…
If you kissed a girl and liked it, you’re probably well aware of Rainbow Kisses at Nocturnal on Sunday nights. The week-old party is only one of a handful of lesbian nights in Miami. Maybe this marks a gayelle renaissance, probably set to the tune of something written by the…
You already know Sander Kleinenberg’s music, although you might not be aware of that fact. You probably first heard it at a certain Park West nightclub at 8 a.m. while rolling so hard you thought you were in Ibiza. But you weren’t in Ibiza — Kleinenberg’s track came on to…
If you spent the earlier part of the decade at places like Piccadilly Garden, Soho Lounge or I/O Lounge–all now deceased venues–you are familiar with Peaches. Along with acts like Felix Da Housecat, Miss Kittin, Larry Tee and Tommie Sunshine, she’s is pretty much responsible for ushering in the electroclash…
