Porter Robinson Worlds Tour With Giraffage and Lemaitre Fillmore Miami Beach Saturday, October 17, 2014 Better Than: The hazing we went through growing up because we liked Sailor Moon and Mario Bros. more than whatever it is “cool” kids do. “Say my name and you can say it with honor.”…
It’s tough to say what the greatest show at Bardot has been over the past five years, but that time Dwayne Wade rented out the Wynwood lounge in 2012 for Gabrielle Union’s 40th-birthday pajama jam was one for the books. “Doug E. Fresh played,” recalls David Sinopoli, the guy responsible…
Zoo Miami is not quite like other zoos. These are some party animals, and Halloween season is no different. They’re calling all witches, vampires, and ghouls to hang with the tigers, turtles, and kangaroos for a very special Monster Masquerade. The event boasts creepy fun along the zoo paths. You…
The electronic dance music world wasn’t always so obsessed with the age of its DJs. But Chapel Hill, North Carolina native Porter Robinson, who hit the international scene at 17, may have started an industry-wide mania for the so-called “prodigy.” Even tweens are getting record deals in 2014. But how…
Serious props to III Points. The fest has done an impeccable job of booking world-class musicians and DJs alongside local favorites. But no doubt, one of the biggest names to grace the Mainframe stage this past weekend at Soho Studios was London house hero Duke Dumont. He’s a Grammy-nominated producer…
We want to give a big fat congrats to everyone who participated in this year’s second-annual III Points music, art, and technology festival. It was a wild few days and nights, and there were a lot of great strides made between this year and the last, one of those being…
Fashion isn’t an official thematic prong of the III Points music, art, and technology festival, but it is something to be taken seriously when on festival grounds. Every hipster, scenester, freak, geek, and beauty queen is out to impress, or maybe just to get as weird as possible. We saw…
The world only gets one Everglades. Let’s appreciate it whenever possible.III Points is over. Did you make it out alive? Even if you weren’t taking part in the massive Wynwood music, art, and technology fest, chances are you went and spent a load of cash trying to forget the work…
There aren’t too many musicians left like Kaytranada, not in the big leagues, anyway. His sound is hard to classify as anything more than head-knockin’, and he loves to break the rules. He makes headlines for his noiseless drops, like the Whatever project, when he just dumped a file of…
Goop junkies, your time is nigh. The Life in Color Festival is back and bigger than ever, threatening a full two days’ worth of paint-splattering, beat-dropping madness. The fest has been slowly revealing its 2014 lineup with a neat series of live-painting portraits by L.A.-based artist David Garibaldi And what…
Cancer sucks, and laughter is the best medicine. The self-billed “breast show you’ll see all year” is set to combine the fight against the deadly disease with top-quality laughs and beer — basically the best idea ever. Drink for a good cause this Saturday at Artistic Vibes Studio (12986 SW…
Are you tired of the same old ignant party scene? Do you long for more intelligent conversation while you blast back the brew? Do you dream of the day you can spark up a bar conversation about advancements in biotech with someone who actually gets it? We’re not ashamed to…
Someone once said, “You go to New York to become someone, you go to L.A. when you are someone, and you go to Miami when you want to be someone else.” We like to think we’re somebody, but it would totally make sense if we found out we had been…
Mansion just launched its new Cocktails & Dreams bar. And sure, hand-crafted cocktails aren’t what the South Beach megaclub built its reputation on. But the Opium Group establishment is willing to bet the VIPs are gonna appreciate the attention to detail and use of fresh, local ingredients. Here’s a sneak…
We’ve kissed September goodbye. Fall is well upon us, which means for Miamians nothing but some obnoxious posts on Facebook and less-than-sweltering heat. We should celebrate our independence from seasonal life by carrying on as per usual, and that means seeking out the free ways to have fun in the…
What makes a timeless classic? It’s got to be honest, it’s got to be made with passion, and it has to bring something to the table that’s never been done. It’s a daunting task, and sometimes, it’s better done when you’re not really trying. Nas was able to do it…
A “dark room full of crazy people.” That’s how AC Slater describes his monthly Night Bass parties out in L.A., and that’s what he’s bringing to our own loud and crazy scene Sunday, Oct. 5, at the Grand Central’s Garret upstairs loft. Backed by bass master Hannah Wants and Jack…
Ever get the feeling you’re haunted by Aztecs? No? Do you want to know what that feels like? Of course you do, and Jungle Island (1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, Miami) is giving you that sixth sense just in time for the Halloween season. For 20 nights, the family-friendly ecological park…
When you think South Beach megaclub, you think excess, sexy dancers, hand-crafted cocktails … Wait, do you? This weekend, SoBe’s Mansion will unveil the Cocktails & Dreams bar as part of its new weekly Mansion Made Me Do It party. The bar is all ’80s wham and glam. And yes,…
AC Slater is about to take you back to a time before fancy light rigs and Jesus-posing DJs, when dance parties were messy, dark, personal affairs and nothing mattered but the bass. Maybe some of you remember those times fondly, and perhaps some of you are tired of hearing about…
We here at Cultist looooooove libraries, but we’d be lying if we said we stepped foot in one more than once in the past year. Because we are learned, we can identify that as a problem. We’re not really alone. Of the 2,496,435 people in Miami-Dade, only 1,084,841 are registered…
On your mark. Get set. Go score some rave tix. Ultra Music Festival 2015 tickets are officially on sale. So for all those party people who qualify under UMF’s new 18-and-over policy, it’s time to camp in front of the computer and secure a spot at America’s longest-running dance fest…
