EDM is the biggest thing on the planet and everyone loves a joke. So when you put your favorite DJs together with five-second rounds of Photoshop, everyone wins! Hell, you could even use MS Paint. Let’s be real, we’re all just button-pushers at the end of the day. We here…
Wow, it’s the weekend already? What the hell even happened these last few days? We here at Crossfade still feel kinda drunk from last Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But that’s just how it goes. Like they say, the best cure for a hangover is another four days full of…
About four years after Jimmy Brooks graduated from Degrassi Community School, Aubrey Drake Graham can finally say he’s got a high school diploma. Without it, the Canadian superstar managed to have a successful child-acting and rap career. ‘Cause you don’t need basic algebra to hang with Lil Wayne, and you…
The Flight Facilities dudes make funky, chilled-out disco for a hip, EDM-loving generation. That’s what we know about them for sure. Everything else — where they’re from, who they are, how they got their name — is subject to change depending on who you ask. That’s because they’re more interested…
Congorock at Mansion October 19
Kim Kardashian has all but moved into her $10-million Miami mansion with Kanye West. The two have been spotted all around the MIA, fighting photographers and touching each other’s asses, though generally escaping the grabby hands of mere peons. But if you’re the kind of “mere peon” who can afford…
UPDATE Ultra Music Festival 2013’s General-Admission Passes on Sale! Right Effing Now! For $574.95! Damn, where’d you find those Ultra tickets? The Internets are on fire with happy, sad, and just plain confused partiers who may or may not have nabbed early-bird passes to the 15th anniversary edition of Ultra…
It’s been more than a decade since Mystikal had a hit, but he can still hit it from the back. At least, that’s what porn star Pinky said when she heard the out-of-jail rapper would choose her to take his XXX virginity. Basically, if Mystikal can’t make another hit record…
Music fans can be really devoted. But it takes a special breed to join a crazy fan cult. And yet, music has exactly that kind of power over some people. It’s a fine line between in love and psychopathically obsessed. But whose fans are the freakiest? Who is the government…
Scott Storch has been making hot beats for over a decade. His skills once made him a wanted man by hip-hop and R&B acts. But now his dead-beat ways have got him wanted by the cops. And that’s not exactly the kind of hot drop you want as a big-time…
Everyone is beat-freaking the fuck out, trying to guess what the big announcement coming from Ultra HQ is gonna be. The official teaser statement is all “We’re gearing up to make global EDM history, and do something that NO electronic music festival has EVER done.” That’s a lot of caps…
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are getting into some pretty freaky sex practices. You know, watching each other’s sex tapes. And now, public paparazzi beating. How much kink can Kimye take? At least, it seems to be getting Ms. Kardashian off. Just check the cut to see the grin on…
Sorry, Admiral Ackbar. It’s too late for your warnings. The kids cannot escape. America’s youth is addicted to the drug-dealing music. And they ain’t fina stop twerkin’ till they dead. Or in jail. OK, it’s not that serious. But Friday’s performance by Flosstradamus at Grand Central proved that trappin’ is…
Justin Bieber is a fucking cock tease. Remember when we here at Crossfade totally called the impending leak of sexy-time pics and vids following the news of Justin Bieber’s stolen laptop? Well, we were 100-percent right. But it’s just gotten even more complicated and convoluted. Yesterday, after some alleged Bieber…
While the rest of the country has been putting on hoodies and celebrating the first cold-fronts of autumn, we’ve been down here slaving away through the endless summer of our SoFla lives. Isn’t it time we got a little refreshment? Well, it’s the beat-freakin’ weekend. And we’re about to have…
Pop stars are losing it. Specifically their lunch, all over themselves and in front of their fans. Princess RiRi recently blew chunks in the middle of “What’s My Name?” in Portugal, but she didn’t have the guts to barf on stage. Nay, it takes a truly exhibitionist soul to let…
Cat Power at Grand Central October 11
Ferry Corsten at Space Miami October 13
With arms wide open, jumping off the balcony. In 2006, Creed singer Scott Stapp was broken and bloody, hanging six-feet from the edge at the Delano Hotel on Miami Beach. But then T.I. swooped in to save the suicidal alt-rocker. No, this isn’t bullshit. It’s fact. And while the rapper…
You keep running up that hill. And if you get to the end early enough, you might get to some free beer. But you’re definitely going to get an earful of sweet art-pop sounds and enough chill, lo-fi grooves to settle your rambling soul. Join Sweat Records during Art Basel…
Get ready, everyone. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are house-hunting for $10-million Miami mansions. The fashionable, ego-centric couple was spotted wandering the MIA’s rainy streets yesterday, stopping to check out lots of properties, and grabbing each other’s delicious butt cheeks. Oh, to be rich, popular, and in love. But is…
EDM has America by the throat. But how did it get to be this way? Well, we can’t say definitively. Although, it kinda started with blogging hipsters in 2006. Hell, some of the DJs making waves on the scene today started out as bloggers, like Italian electro badass Congorock. He…
