If you haven’t heard of Pillow Talk, that’s because this threesome has been the West Coast dance music scene’s best-kept secret for over a decade. But that wasn’t going to be the case for much longer if Visionquest had anything to do about it, which is why the label picked…
It’s happened again. On June 3, Brit songbird Adele was forced to cancel nine US tour dates due to a nasty bout of laryngitis. “I’m really frustrated. I was hoping with a weeks rest I’d be better to sing again straight away,” she said at the time. “However there is…
At this point in their music careers, the men of Stay Hitt have earned local legend status. Like old college drinking buddies or that guy in high school that set the principal’s car on fire, there’s tons of crazy Stay Hitt stories floating around Miami, most likely involving a goat,…
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade already. Ten solid years of bleep-bleep, bloop-bloop electro synthpop courtesy of the Liverpool-based quartet known as Ladytron. Twelve years if you count that 1999 EP, Miss Black and Her Friends, released only in Japan. After five studio records, a live album,…
You might know New York DJ Jonathan Toubin from his Soul Clap Dance-Off parties. He brought Miami’s best and most adventurous dancers to their knees last February just days before the Bruise Cruise with soulful music that kept us dancing all night. Spinning only vinyl, his music comes from a…
Originally, the Crossfade staff was hyped as hell to party with R. Kelly. We Google Mapped the perfect route to Revolution Live. We packed our survival kit (change of clothes, condoms, pee poncho, etc.) for a night with the slow-jammin’ pervert. And we put in our official press credential request…
We here at Crossfade spend most of our time doing stuff like looking for legit work at Miami Beach megaclubs, making it rain with C. Breezy at the strip club, or waging guerrilla warefare on Biscayne Bay at the AAA. But now and again, we get this undeniable urge to…
All was well and good at an Atlanta nightclub this weekend until Sean “Diddy” Combs spotted some dude drinking Grey Goose at his Cîroc sponsored party. “Put that shit down,” he yelled, “you in my house.” Since 2007, Diddy’s been moonlighting as a premium vodka spokesperson, pouring Cîroc down our…
Aside from being crazy stupid musical geniuses, R&B pop star Chris Brown and nimrod rapper Gucci Mane have a lot in common. For example, they’ve really got a way with the ladies. By which, of course, we mean that both C. Breezy and Radric Davis have been involved in unfortunate…
Pop music doesn’t have to be supersmart. It’s for out-of-control bouts of shouting, makeout sessions, and screaming along with when traffic on 826 is moving in slow-mo. But Miami DJ-producer Joseph Espinoza (AKA Jesp) thinks that pop should be both fun and intelligent. In fact, his dabbling in ostensibly serious…
A normal 9 to 5 job in Miami can be as hard to come by as money in your pocket after a night at the club. But fear not, party animal, just apply to work at the newest club on South Beach, Amnesia. A modern remix of a classic venue…
Pop music should have no place in professional sports. But for reasons we’ll never understand, the National Football League has a hard-on for Top 40 music. After a string of solid rock acts, the NFL butchered halftime with the Black Eyed Peas last year. And rumor has it, they’re ready…
Ever since yesterday’s announcement of a Tupac Shakur sex tape featuring the rapper broing down with Digital Underground bandmates, a blunt, and a blowjob, Crossfade has been going certifiably insane trying to figure out the identity of the anonymous source planning to comercially release this X-rated vid. To say there…
Guatemalan blues. No, that’s not right. Bilingual bossa nova. Eh, it sounds fun. But it doesn’t quite capture it all. OK, We think we’ve got it. We’ll call it music. Better yet, damn good music. After all, a word that accurately describes Gaby Moreno’s eclectic blend of ’20s and ’30s…
If you were a kid in the 1980s, Weird Al Yankovic was the funniest guy ever. “Fat” would come on as you snarfed cookies and soda, leaving a burning in your nose. To watch his knockoff of Michael Jackson’s hit “Bad” in 2011 isn’t the same exactly. But it’s still…
Back in the day (circa 1950), every person on Planet Earth was panicked about the impending apocalypse. The Soviets were hoarding warheads like bottles of vodka. The United States government was stacking ’em up like Coca-Cola. And in the interest of “national security,” our nation’s very best physicists and other…
Surfer Blood is, like, superfamous. The West Palm foursome has been almost singlehandedly spreading South Florida’s indie rock message, playing every music festival imaginable, including SXSW, CMJ, and even ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas. In fact, this crew may be the hottest white-boy thang to come out of SoFla since Vanilla…
A t-shirt isn’t just a cotton sack with sleeves. It’s a way to speak your mind and shove your middle finger in society’s face. Or it could just be something to conceal your man boobs. Music tees are an important species of the t-shirt genus, informing fellow wearers of your…
Even though it’s been 15 years since quintessential West Coast gangsta rapper and Death Row Records artist Tupac Shakur was tragically murdered, ‘Pac still manages to release about an album a year. Of course, these compilations are mostly sloppy, unnecessary greatest hits packages. So … Are you sick and tired…
