If you’re a clubland regular, then you’ve probably noticed what a major comeback the classic ’90s dance sound has made in the last couple years. You can hear it from the jacking house revival of underground acts like Hercules & Love Affair and Steffi, all the way to the Swedish…
Forget Gaga, Katy Perry, and all those other hot pop bimbos. We here at Crossfade have just discovered a totally local blonde bombshell named Marlon Alarm. We came across the self-described “singer/songwriter/artist” just as he was heading down down a random backalley in Little Havana to get stuffed into an…
Our very own weirdo genius Dino Felipe is getting ready to hit the road. And he needs our help, i.e. $$$. Hence, a Kickstarter campaign. At the end of September, he and his sidekick This Heart Electric (AKA Ricardo Guerrero of “Miami Venues Suck Dick” fame) plan to load their…
Wassup, you eager Bieber beavers! So, like, the other day, we here at Crossfade were just kickin, it, struttin’ down the sidewalk, listenin’ to “Baby” on repeat, and singin’ along in the hope of perfecting our imitation of the Justin’s signature castrato vocal range. We were gonna punk some fast…
For a while there, Kanye West was the least popular man on Earth.But his career didn’t start off that way. In fact, if you told Crossfade that the fresh-faced and manic MC who released that crazy-ass “Jesus Walks” single would one day be the bonafide sultan of swag, we would…
Felix Da Housecat is prancing back to South Beach, readying his paws for a party attack at glossy superclub LIV. A member of the electro elite, he first made a name for himself on the mid ’80s Chicago dance scene. Over the past decade, the DJ-producer has worked closely with…
Considering Lucenzo’s superlucrative connections to the 407’s Don Omar and the 305’s Pitbull (not to mention his obvious appreciation for babes in bikinis and dancing aboard million-dollar boats), it’s kinda shocking that the French-slash-Portuguese singer, songwriter, and producer hasn’t already docked his party yacht at the Port of Miami, skipped…
Too busy chasin’ that chedda (i.e. money) to notice our annnouncement that O’Grime and Metro Zu will be droppin’ swag, Swishers, and dirty bills as part of the August edition of the Crossfade music series at The Stage? Shit, kid. Wipe them $$ out your eyes ’cause we got your…
Seriously, Grand Central. We get it. You are bringing everyone and their mother to your downtown venue this fall and winter.Latest addition: Aussie indie pop outfit Architecture in Helsinki. Yeah, despite the geographically specific name, these guys couldn’t be any farther from Finland. Misnomers aside, though, the band has been…
Cam’ron and his assorted homies (including Jim Jones and Juelz Santana) have been a major presence on the rap scene for over a decade. And if he keeps up his grind, he’ll be one of the few who stay relevant for two.Cam (real name Cameron Giles) has been averaging an…
With the imminent demise of the summer season, LINK’s Summer Sunday Sessions at Treehouse will also see its finale on September 11. (Note: For those of you who loved the thought of rolling into work on Monday morning after a hardcore night of techno and whiskey, Sunday Sessions will still…
Shredding hard and stalking America’s highways since 1978, SoCal punk crew Social Distortion has survived several lifetimes of hard living. Lesser punks than SxDx frontman and founder Mike Ness would’ve fallen down, folded, and rolled over into the gutter by now. But 33 years later, the man’s still going strong…

When Swedish electro outfit Little Dragon performed at Electric Pickle back in January, S. Pajot noted a few sound issues, saying “[Yukimi Nagano’s] vocals were drenched in a little too much reverb and buried a little too deep in the mix. Her singing was sweet and sharp. But she just…
