Goddamn we’ve missed Seth Bogart. The flamboyantly forthcoming Hunx and His Punk frontman left us shirtless and begging for a trip to “Lover’s Lane” when he visited us in September 2011, feeling like extras in a John Waters flick and questioning the respective sizes of Jacuzzi Boys’ dicks following the…
Shit, man, it’s that in-between-paychecks-type Friday.

When legendary Nigerian bandleader Fela Kuti toured the US in the ’70s, he was blown away by the funk, soul, disco and other African-American music forms he heard here. So he took them with him back to Nigeria, threw them in the blender with some African dance highlife and traditional…
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll uhntz-uhntz uncontrollably. That’s right … We’re talking about Ultra Music Festival’s 45-minute concert documentary, Can U Feel It: The UMF Experience. With a cast of 200 uber-mega-superstar DJs, lazer-wielding robots, tattooed mice men, half-naked electro groupies, and 150,000 soother-sucking beat freaks, it’s guaranteed to induce…
Almost without question, Ultra Music Festival now dominates the American dance festival scene. But Los Angeles’ Hard may be the next big event brand to rise to the top. What started as a bunch of one-off West Coast events has become a traveling series of mini-fests for young and wild…
Attention party animals! Sweden’s Miike Snow will be breaking it down at Ultra Music Festival, and you don’t wanna be caught slippin’. No, Miike Snow is not a man. It’s a group of electro-pop producers — Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, and Andrew Wyatt — that’s created some of the biggest…
What can the South Beach Food and Wine Festival offer inebriated beat freaks? Well, funneling tubs of butter at Paul Deen’s Sunday Brunch may be the best hangover cure after a weekend filled with deep house, tech-shit, and Dutch trance. The Food Network’s invading the sands of South Beach over…

David Guetta might have changed the entire sound of commercial pop and Deadmau5 may have gotten legions of clubbers to don faux rodent heads. But there’s no question that over the past year, the hottest name in electronic dance music is Skrillex, born Sonny Moore. The polarizing artist has been…
Happy Ash Wednesday, y’all! Christians are just 46 days away from the celebration of their 1,979th Easter, commemorating the day when Jesus Christ allegedly resurrected from the dead and escaped his post-crucifixion resting place.
