They may “hail from the Netherlands.” But like lots of other famous Dutch DJs, Bingo Players’ Paul Baümer and Maarten Hoogstraten have made a second home of South Beach and Miami. Over the last year alone, they’ve headlined multiple times at megaclubs like LIV and Story, while also securing a…
If we had to name our most anticipated albums of 2013, Jacuzzi Boys would easily be on that list. But the wait is almost over. The Boys’ self-titled LP drops September 10 via Hardly Art. And they already gave us a taste of what to expect, first with the track…
Dinner without music. It lacks what the French call ambiance. That’s why we here at New Times always pair our Iron Fork fiesta (AKA “Miami’s most hotly anticipated culinary event”) with some tasty local tunes. And this year, we’ve ordered up a trio platter of pop-rock, Latin funk, and dirty…
The monsoon got you feeling blue? Brighten up, sunshine. It’s Friday! And no matter how much rain may pour down on us, the party never stops in the 305. Especially when there are endless bashes flooded with great music and booze… All for under 10 bucks. Check out the ten…
Up until just a couple years ago, the international electronic dance music radar wasn’t picking up much more than crickets across the border in Mexico. But now our neighbors to the south are all over the dance music charts and global party circuit. Sensational newcomers like Balcazar & Sordo, Miguel…
You might wanna brush up on those kickboxing skills because Thursday nights at the Electric Pickle are gonna knock you out. It’s One Two Punch, the latest weekly party to go down at the Pickle since its return to the party grind after a short-lived hiatus earlier this year. The…
South Beach is a dance music mecca. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, and that’s why OFM Talent is excited to be celebrating two years as one of Miami’s most successful EDM startups, at Wall Lounge on Tuesday, July 23. “It’s been a lot of…
Hey, beat freaks. Step away from the rave gloves. Take off the kandi bracelets. It’s time to own up. You’ve exhausted a batch of trends that have metamorphosed the once vibrant, sonically diverse electronic dance music movement into an LED inferno of pacifier-sucking, furry-booted creatures praising deadpan androids behind a…
Give or take a handful of recycled Bruno Mars tracks, Top 40 Radio would lead you to believe that there are only two songs this summer: Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.” Sure, those pop ditties are as infectious as a $40 prostitute’s condom-less blowjob. But you…
The man born Brian Warner is actually rather shy. But give him some color contacts, a latex body suit, and a crowd of thousands, and that skinny, pasty, quiet Florida boy transforms into Marilyn Manson, one of the most shocking musical entertainers of all time. After nearly two decades of…
Ask the underground electronic dance music heads who frequent downtown Miami and Wynwood hot spots why they avoid South Beach nightlife, and they’ll invariably say it’s at least in part because of the VIP culture and the way bottle-service customers dictate musical programming at SoBe clubs. The most controversial examples…
Have you accepted that you’re a hipster? Probably not. It’s in your nature to deny it. Most nights, though, you’re inadvertently (or deliberately?) setting trends at a handful of offbeat, edgy boozing joints around town. So, sorry to blow up your spot. But here are the top ten hipster bars…
Models and bottles, y’all! If there is any week out of the year when that statement rings truer, it’s the awkwardly named Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim, AKA Swim Week. While most of the official and satellite events are happening around the Raleigh, Soho Beach House, and the Miami Beach Convention…
Trick Daddy luh the kids. And as the self-proclaimed Mayor of the 305, you know he’s got to keep watch over the Florida justice system. So when an unarmed, 17-year-old kid is shot and killed by a grown man who then walks free, Trick Daddy calls shenanigans all over the…
While some are questioning the motives behind his latest business-slash-philanthropic venture, Pitbull’s foray into the charter school industry should come as no surprise. El tipo is a father of six who loves education. He even taught listeners how to count in Spanish with the opening of one of his biggest…
Lil Wayne’s got beef with the American prison system, and that could have something to do with his three incarcerations. But he also feels the purity, valor and justice are missing from the red, white and blue. This is according to the lyrics from his latest music video “God Bless…
Sorry, Miami. But if we ever want to see Stevie Wonder again, we have to start making some changes. It’s time to get political. You see, Stevie Wonder made a pledge and he signed, sealed, and delivered that promise right to our doorstep. Actually, he said it on stage in…
Aside from the blisteringly humid heat, people who drive around as if they paid their way to getting a driver’s license, and corrupt politicians … Miami is one hell of a city. We’re surrounded by pristine beaches, great music, and endless partying that runs till the early-morning sun rises. Check…
If you haven’t been following the strange saga of Jake the Dog, it’s basically me getting high as shit with John Cougar Mellencamp’s bass player and making booty music for the inventor of disco. I signed a record deal. Along the way, I’ve ridden a bike for miles through the…
It’s fitting that it should take a while to get the two brothers behind the hushed, soulful music of Los Angeles’ Inc. out of their shells. They spoke in soft, halting voices over the phone during a conference call last week. It’s a big contrast to the smooth, sophisti-pop neo-soul…

I slam a 16-ounce can of Mickey’s Fine Malt Liquor, take a big hit off a joint of brown weed, put pen to paper, and write a line. “She got a booty, though/She can’t fit it through the door,” I rap. “Plus, she a stripper now/Working for that booty dough.”…
