Holy shit! Drake is another year older today. So no longer can we say he’s “25 sitting on 25 mil.” Although, if his lyrical content is any indication, he’s already stacked enough paper to match his new age and then some. Like, seriously, this guy is the king of self-hatred-meets-braggadocio…
Ascolta is Italian for listen, and that’s exactly what local punk crew Askultura want you to do. “Listen to the culture,” says the band’s founder Andrew, a Lakota Nation warrior poet. He and his nine cohorts — two chicks, six dudes, and a beast named Captain on the washboard –…
Another day, another hustle. But stay pimpin’, playa. ‘Cause the light at the end of the tunnel swiftly approaches. You’ve been getting your grind on, but this city will provide you with appropriate after-school activities to help forget all that serious business and corporate blah-blah. This weekend in particular will…
Sex rules! And you know what’s even better? Sex outside! That’s ’cause the threat of being shamefully discovered tickles the universal voyeuristic/exhibitionist funny bone.

Yo, be very, very quiet. We’re hunting rabbits. Skrillex’s OWSLA imprint is going on tour to showcase its variety of sounds and next-level skillset, and we’re going to catch us some choice bunny meat from Kill The Noise, M Machine and Nick Thayer at Grand Central on Wednesday, November 1…
“WOOHOO!” That’s exactly how stoked trance superstar Armin Van Buuren was to hear that he’d won DJ Mag’s ultimate EDM fan poll (again), ecstatically shouting via Twitter: “Just picked up @top100djs no.1 for 5th time! I can’t say thank you enough…!!!” But then the top jock’s excitement levels hit an…
House music is supposed to jack your body. It’s supposed to make you lose your mind on the floor. In a word, it’s supposed to be fun. Cerebral EDM nerds tend to forget that fact, but Heidi Van Den Amstel is here to remind them. The UK — light years…
Glen Matlock may be a Rick Kid, but he certainly isn’t some “middle-class mommy’s boy.” Last year, the former bassist and co-founding member of legendary punk band Sex Pistols took a cheap shot to the nuts when ex-bandmate Steve Jones trashed his rock ‘n’ roll brother. In an interview with…
You know that terrifying wet dream where you’re, like, a totally boner-worthy brain-eater locked inside a superchic warehouse space with a thousand other sexy zombies? There’s blood and gore smeared all over the floor. The walls are rattling at 69 BPMs. And every undead perv in the place is humpin’…
Gunplay is free, homie. Well, sorta … After surrendering to Miami police on an outstanding armed-robbery arrest warrant and getting his day in court with Judge William Thomas, then spending 12 days behind bars, the Maybach Music maniac has finally posted bond. And all it cost was $150,000. See also:…

Whether serving as the multimillionaire cofounder of Def Jam Records, shouting down injustice at Occupy Wall Street, or stumping for the President of the Unites States of America, Russell Simmons — the rap legend, media mogul, and dedicated vegan — never stops reppin’ the people. That’s why we here at…
When Bobby Johnston, better known locally as Bobby Load, passed away yesterday, it seemed a particularly unfair piece of bad news for a segment of Miami’s rock veterans. Following the old cliche of bad things happening in threes, Johnston’s death marks the third loss in as many months for the…
