Miami and Las Vegas are different worlds, but the two cities do have some things in common. Both are hot. Like, unbearably, ridiculously ice cream cone-evaporating hot. Both cities can get weird when the sun goes down. And Miami and Vegas both share a massive love of dance music. There…
Summer festival season isn’t off to the best start for Ten Walls, AKA Marijus Adomaitis.

Speaking of which, Chris Carrabba and his old bandmates reunited on stage after a…
Free concerts are a rare thing. Any time we hear about one, we think: Sure, but what’s the catch? We want to see free live music just as much as the next guy, but we don’t want to have to give away our social security number in the process. Well suspicious…

Art Basel, WMC, III Points. That’s the holy trifecta as the III Points camp would have you believe, and with two successful Octobers behind them, they’re not far off. The music, art, and technology fest has emerged from Wynwood’s streets as something of a show-stopper, and this year, organizers promise…
DJ Irie’s hyping up the crowd has become as much a fixture of Miami Heat games as Pat Riley or Burnie the mascot, so it’s hard to believe when he was first offered the job to be the team’s official inhouse DJ he turned it down. “When the Heat moved…
Halloween is the last time DJ Erick Morillo remembers playing Miami’s Club Space. He started on the turntables at 2 a.m. and played for 12 hours — straight. That next afternoon, he saw a guy there dressed like Jesus, his hands raised in the air, looking up at the sky…

It was set for 24 North American cities…

Looking back on the past 50 years, there are many indelible iconic images of David Crosby that come to mind. There’s the beaming young man in a cape with the mischievous look in his eyes who gazed with a kind of beatific innocence from the covers of those early Byrds…
You know you’ve had a legit night out in the Magic City when your party bender ends with the sunrise on the beach. But what really makes your night quintessentially Miami isn’t so much staying up till daybreak — it’s what you did in between those late hours. And if…
