On StubHub, Ultra tickets are going for $800 and Masquerade Motel passes cost $400. Beat freaks have seemingly lost their minds, clearly forgetting that the national average for a gallon of regular gas is nearly $4. Who in their right mind would drop half-a-stack on house music? Not Crossfade, that’s…
Last night, walking into the lobby of the decadent Fontainebleau Miami Beach as Laidback Luke’s Super You & Me got underway, I had to remind myself … It’s only Wednesday…
Check out the full lineup and set times for Ultra 2012. Ultra Music Festival sold out months ago. So unless you’re wiling to drop $7,500 on a VIP package or purchase ridiculously marked-up General Admission scalper tickets, quit bitching and accept the fact that you’re not going to catch Tiësto…
Even though Winter Music Conference and Miami Music Week have turned into a nine days of EDM, we’ve keep it pretty low key. Until last night. First stop: The world premiere of Ultra Music Festival’s Can U Feel It concert documentary. Standing there on the red carpet was sort of…

Admittedly, we’re all a little giddy ’round the New Times office. Rumor has it that Madonna’s going to drop by for a special in-house performance and breathe new life into our defunct Sectional Sofa Series. What sparked the rumor? One writer suggesting that, “we should totally get Madonna on our…
Miami has a lot of the names, most of them stupid.The past decade saw the 305 officially branding itself “the Magic City.” Some detractors call our fair banana republic “The City That Sleeps Late.” Others have taken to “The Big Mango,” the latest sign that most of Dade County has…
Who’s straight fiending for some beats? Well, with just 31 hours, 29 minutes, and 55 seconds till it’s time for you and 150,000 other furry-booted beat freaks to crash the gates at Ultra Music Festival, you will soon be overdosing on the uhntz-uhntz. In the meantime, though, there’s no reason…

A faint ringing noise tickles our inner ear, the result of a lifetime’s worth of WMC pool parties, electronic music cruises, and afterhours ragers cramped into one bleepity-bloopity-filled week of house music. After far too many dates with Molly (and 28 Vicks Vapor Inhalers later), we’re regrettably giving up. We…

San Francisco’s Samuel Doylestien, Ryan Williams, and Michael Tello are all accomplished DJ-producers. But as PillowTalk, they’ve been making even bigger waves. This year alone has seen the threesome signed to some of the most hotly tipped labels in the international house and techno scene: Visionquest, Life and Death, and…
