Ever fantasized about hiring Pitbull to be your friend for a weekend? Well, dreams come true! And all you gotta do is pay $399 per night. If your holiday weekend is still a giant gaping three-day block of nothing, the Fontainebleau Miami Beach is offering three very special Voli Labor…
John Digweed: the man, the myth, the legend. You’ll get to see all three when the UK electronic dance music titan alights at Gryphon nightclub this Sunday.And this is no ordinary club date. It’s a stop on Digweed’s current North American tour in support of Structures Two, a whopping three-CD…
Sniff. Sniff. Is that Nirvana? No, it’s probably just Machine Gun Kelly’s dank stash. And that shit has rowdy-ass white boys ’round greater Cleveland yelling, “Cobain’s back!,” on the 2:55 mark of his latest collaboration with Waka Flocka Flame. Rap Radar posted MGK’s swagged-out track, “Wild Boy”, at around midnight…
The human senses can be very deceiving. For example, if you were to roll up to a show featuring Providence Rhode Island’s Dropdead — say, at Churchill’s Pub on December 4 — and take a quick whiff of their van (and maybe a taste test of the Food Not Bombs…
If you ain’t a total b-ball junkie, you might not know there’s a 19-year-old Lithuanian phenom named Jonas Valanciunas who’s been going hard in the paint, snatching down rebounds like Moses Malone on steroids, and dunking with impunity on the entire motherfucking European continent. But on June 23, 2011, homie…
Have you’ve seen (or, well, heard) Nine Types of Light? It’s the new-ish album by Brooklyn’s TV on the Radio and it’s so blindingly brilliant that if a weak-eyed, sensitive-eared indie kid such as yourself isn’t very, very, very careful (i.e. UV-shield sunglasses and silicone), he or she could end…
Cris Cab is an 18-year-old heartthrob from right here in Miami. The barely-legal singer-songwriter is working very closely with Pharrell Williams to become a big star. Already a hit on YouTube with both original songs and covers like Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow,” Cab’s first EP came out this year…
UPDATE: The Electric Pickle has been closed for Labor Day weekend by the Fire Department. All parties, including James Holden, Guy Gerber and Reboot to Cafeina. Miami takes three-day weekends to the extreme. But it’s Labor Day! Why wouldn’t we? The union workers of the 19th Century went through treacherous strikes…
UPDATE: Eclectic Electric will not be taking place at the Electric Pickle tonight. The party has been postponed. Eclectic Electric … Say it again, eclectic electric. This trippy tongue twister isn’t just the title of Primus song, it’s the name of DJ Benton Galgay’s free and low-key Thursday dance party…

The awesome promise of sea-faring adventure with Thee Oh Sees, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, DJ Jonathan Toubin, the Soft Pack, the Dirtbombs, and Neil Hamburger should’ve been enough for you to grab your sunglasses, stuff your hipster junk into a banana hammock (or perhaps a palm tree-print bathing suit), and…
Oh, Dolly! There’s no tinier, bustier, more magnificent country singer than she. You can Shania Twain and Taylor Swift all night long. But nothing compares to those big Parton pearlies glowing between smiling red lips. Of course, Parton isn’t just a bubbly personality with giant blond hair and huge breasts…
UPDATE: The Electric Pickle has been closed for Labor Day weekend by the Fire Department. All parties, including James Holden as well as Guy Gerber and Reboot to Cafeina. These days, trance is sort of the punchline to a joke among electronic dance music fans. It’s become a style given…
You might be wondering: Just what the hell have the Beatles got to do with Willy Chirino? Admittedly, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” is a far cry from “Oxigeno” and “Sexy Sadie” is worlds removed from “Soy Guajiro.” But make no mistake, whether or not you recognize the Fab Four’s fingerprint on the…
You know times are strange when an NME headline reads: “Stephen Malkmus Asks for Help with ‘Blowjob.'” It’s not like Pavement’s former singer actually wanted help receiving fellatio. But rather, he was asking for a suggestion to replace the word “blowjob” on his and the Jicks’ single “Senator.” The winner…
