In the middle of the poorly lit Wynwood warehouse district, nestled between a boxing academy, a factory, and some art spaces, there’s a building overflowing with noise. Behind a gate, a double-locked door, and a barbwire overhang, Beings are hard at work. Many artists refer to the studio as “the…
What the hell is Burnie anyway? He looks like a rejected Muppet that’s been sleeping in a dumpster, a 7’6″ bag of ratty orange fur with a swollen green mini-basketball for a nose. And his official Miami Heat bio doesn’t help at all. It just totally dodges the question. Anyway,…

Read part two of the Afrobeta interview. Man, the last time we hung out with local new wave-y freestyle faves Afrobeta was way back in June at Grand Central.

All Hallows’ Eve is upon us. And this secular holiday is particularly important for three types of people: (1) those obsessed with vampires and werewolves, (2) those who’ve been dying to hide behind a mask all year, and (3) those yearning to look sexy. All of the above — and…
Back in the early 2000s, cool kids everywhere became obsessed with all kinds of lupine creatures. Maybe it was irony. Maybe it was rabies. Or maybe the moon had slipped off axis. Whatever the cause, almost everyone between the ages of 16 and 28 was wearing a howling wolf’s head…
