Halloween’s a holiday that seems concocted by the pagan gods just for Miami: a dash of exhibitionism, a touch of erotica, and a hint of danger. And what better place to celebrate than at that temple of Miami luxury and old-world opulence Vizcaya Museum and Gardens? For the 23rd year…
It’s hard to avoid science, in fact, it’s impossible. And now that your creep-o high school isn’t forcing you to remember the entire periodic table, you can actually relax and enjoy this thing called science. And the Miami Science Museum’s Young Patrons are trying to make sure that you can…
Brooklyn’s Drop the Lime has been nothing if not prescient. Those last few years, while everyone was running around to overly processed, overly happy so-called “blog house,” the DJ/producer born Luca Venezia carefully stuck to his own thing. In the face of all that neon glare, Venezia and his Trouble…
Ever wondered what screamo-lectro dudes do to unwind after a particularly strenuous hipster bikini dance party? Well, apparently, if the dudes in question are Daniel Werb and Paul Banwatt of Toronto synth-and-drum duo Woodhands, then it’s all about a nice, relaxing, man-on-man bubble bath. Why the bubbles? Why the bath?…

Pete Tong is hardly a man who needs introduction. The hardworking and ubiquitous British DJ, radio personality, label head and perennial host of legendary BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix is one of the most highly-regarded tastemakers in the world of electronic dance music.

Maybe it’s bad taste to get on some kind of eulogy bender before the corpse is even cold, but the diagnosis is terminal and it’s only a matter of time … Your favorite hipster bar, PS14, is dying. So say goodbye, Miami, and make amends for all the wrongs you’ve…
South Florida’s elite graffiti crew MSG might have lost one of its most prolific taggers, as reported here last week, but it looks like the remaining artistes are picking up the slack. And while Riptide, for legal reasons, remains firmly against vandalizing other people’s property, this still wins our heart as…
It’s not often you get to see a curated show featuring the likes of Richard Prince, Jules de Balincourt, Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, and KAWS, but it’s not often that Lance Armstrong comes calling on the art world. Armstrong’s Livestrong foundation and Nike asked 25 top artists to donate pieces to a…

Opa-locka is unique. There’s outlandish Arabian-style architecture. Gunfights take place in the open.

Now a couple of South Florida entrepreneurs have patented a pants design aimed at skirting the measure,…

Fashion weeks are like assholes — nearly every city has them. And while the offerings from New York, Paris, and Milan are hands down the most influential, it’s hard to ignore our Funkshion and Rock Fashion when they are capable of resurrecting Pam Anderson’s iconic Baywatch suit and showing Dennis…
Word on the street — well, if the street you happen to be on is Calle Ocho — is that Hollywood is full of a bunch of Hugo Chávez-loving socialists. Well, maybe you didn’t see last night’s Parks & Recreation on NBC, and judging from the ratings, we guess you…
