It’s been said that all boats rise with the tide. And right now, Dusky is catching a serious wave. The London-based duo has found success as part of the groove-based house music resurgence. Of course, the Disclosure bros may be the darlings, but they’re not the only ones putting four-to-the-floor…

Maayan Nidam may be a celebrated house and techno DJ, but that’s only scratching at the surface of her musical interests and talents. For one thing, she’s always kept a soft spot for live musicianship. “As a teenager, I listened to a lot of rock — all sorts of rock:…
Next time you hit the streets for a dirty beat, get that shit with a side of Mustard. He’s the chart-topping L.A. studio maestro behind “Rack City,” “I’m Different,” “R.I.P.,” and “Show Me” — basically your entire summer soundtrack.

Dutch producer Martyn Deykers already boasts releases on groundbreaking electronic music labels like Brainfeeder, Otsgut Ton, and his own 3024.

It wasn’t long ago that DJ Drastic X turned his “It’s All Gravy” show on FIU’s WRGP Radiate FM into the vehicle by which artists like Pitbull, Rick Ross, Flo Rida, and DJ Khaled saw some of their first college radio airplay. And today, he continues to break new ground…
“We’re going to need a bigger boat!” Oh, that’s just the captain of the All Gone to Sea cruise. And he’s a tad panicked because his ship, the Carnival Victory, is about to be overrun by the inimitable Mr. Pete Tong and his 50 closest DJ friends. Sailing from Miami…

Some know him as Roach. But the Miami Beach Police Department prefers the name Glenn Thor Larsen. Once a Miami punk rocker who played drums in hardcore bands like U.F.C. and Sound4Sound, Larsen also served as a sound guy at Churchill’s Pub during the 2000s. But yesterday, the 34-year-old man…
The 305’s nightlife scene is notoriously fickle.
