For ten years, Gainesville indie-rock outfit Holopaw has been putting out music, first through the perennial indie label Sub Pop and more recently via Misra Records. The band dropped Academy Songs, Volume I earlier this year, which is an oddity in the era of the single track. It follows a…
“Hey, hey, hey, you don’t need no papers.” Just some free tix, baby. This Labor Day weekend, debonair pop dudes Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams will be bringing those “Blurred Lines” to the Fontainebleau Miami Beach for a mid-afternoon Bleau Live concert bash. And yes, we’ve got some gratis passes…
For 22 years, Uncle Sam’s Music has been one of the best record stores in South Florida, a place where you can buy a used CD, a new record, and a bag of incense, a pipe, and a t-shirt to go with it. After nearly a quarter century, though, shop…
You’re a free (wo)man! Not only is it Friday, but in case you’ve been living under a rock (or in Tampa) this week, it’s Labor Day weekend. That means that you’ll have three days to party, quench your thirst with liquid libations, partake in drunken shenanigans, and then party some…
How ’bout some barbecue, ice-cold PBR, and old-school hits to see you through a weekend hangover? That’s the deal on Sundays at the Midtown Get Down at the Stage. “The Get Down lets you know we’re having a little bit of fun and it’s not pretentious,” says DJ Self Born,…
Wale’s third full-length release, The Gifted, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 when it dropped in July. But the DC rapper still hasn’t scored a platinum single, and he’s cool with that fact. Because in an era dominated by quick hits, he’s into making albums. And eventually, he…
Poor Miley Cyrus. The former Disney princess finally has her moment in the spotlight, and turns out, she’s a one-trick pony. We’re starting to think she just shows up at parties and gets to doing the single awkward thing she can. Well, she’s probably pretty good at bummin’ lines, but…
We all spend our days slaving away — flipping burgers, serving slop, pouring drinks, hauling trash, driving big rigs, selling cars, cuffing creeps, dancing on poles, counting other people’s cash, or tapping data into crappy old desktop computers. But our nights (and paychecks) are gloriously wasted on cab rides, vodka…
You work hard and you know it! That’s why the entire nation celebrates its hard-working citizens by dedicating an entire day in September to not working. But while much of America will celebrate Labor Day by sitting on the couch and watching a Lifetime movie marathon, the 305 will be…
If London is the Mecca of the global electronic dance music scene, then surely Fabric could be considered the Kaaba. At least one pilgrimage to the monolithic nightclub is a requisite for international house and techno heads. But even for those who have never made the trip, the beloved Fabric…
If you’ve haven’t heard of Chase & Status (AKA Saul Milton and Will Kennard), don’t fret. For ten years, the British duo has been making music, spanning everything from classic UK garage to dubstep and drum ‘n’ bass. But around 2009, pop star Rihanna came calling, looking for a sound…
Hyped for the return of “the old Goodie Mob days”? Well, keep waiting while tapping your foot and checking that watch, because Cee Lo, Big Gipp, Khujo, and T-Mo are no longer bringing their reunion tour to Miami or most of the other 11 American cities. That’s right, as Grand…
Attention Miami trapaholics! Your days of wandering the streets, following ratchet bass systems in random cars are over. Your weekly fix has arrived. It’s time to get Based. Every Saturday, Red Rabbit Presents is bringing Base at Space and real trap music to Miami. Since debuting in June, this weekly…
It’s been almost ten years since Goodie Mob’s Cee Lo, Big Gipp, Khujo, and T-Mo last released an album together. And a lot has changed. Their funky, forward-thinking approach helped put Southern hip-hop on the map in the ’90s and early 2000s. And in their absence, the South has continued…
The Black Madonna (AKA Marea Vierge-Noire) has a bone to pick with the current state of dance music, particularly online digital distribution and the decline of analog audio formats like vinyl and tape. After all, she came up during the golden age of rave, before corporate “EDM” co-opted electronic dance…
Which way to III Points? Just buy a ticket, follow the noise, and take a sharp turn toward Wynwood in exactly 36 days. Yesterday, the III Points crew revealed its plans for a sprawling music, art, and technology festival that’ll swarm Miami’s hippest hood for a full three days during…
It’s Labor Day weekend! That means an extra day off for (most of) us to lounge by the pool, catch rays, and bask in the fruit of our labor by drinking and partying til we can’t any more. The holiday also marks the official end of summer, so it merits…
Sound = a change in air pressure traveling on waves that tickle the hairs inside your ears. Music = a series of sounds delivered rhythmically to make a song; and World music = sounds that defy American radio format classification. Clear channel sucks, music rules, and the Miami World Music…
We all spend our days slaving away, flipping burgers, serving slop, pouring drinks, hauling trash, driving big rigs, selling cars, cuffing creeps, dancing on poles, counting other people’s cash, or tapping data into crappy old desktop computers. But our nights (and paychecks) are gloriously wasted on cab rides, vodka shots,…
In 1975, Willie Clarke won a Grammy for his work on Betty Wright’s “Where Is The Love”. It’s one of many hits he wrote in the ’70s for the biggest independent record company in the world, Henry Stone’s TK Productions, out of Hialeah. But Clarke’s recording career began in the…
Have you ever walked through Wynwood and thought, There should totally be a SXSW-style festival up in here? Even if you haven’t, we’re sure you now realize that’s the best idea ever. Thankfully, the people who make Bardot one of the dopest spots in town had that idea months ago…
Did you watch the MTV Vide Music Awards last night? No? Doesn’t matter, we’ve got your back. Oh, you did? Doesn’t matter, these GIFs are still worth a few minutes of your time. Seriously, what better way is there to capture the high-energy, low-brow atmosphere of the VMAs than to…
