In January, former rapper and King of Diamonds stripper-wrangler Disco Rick gave us a crash course in strip club etiquette. One of the most important rules: When you’re making it rain, “we tell you not to throw money all over the customers… and girls who are not working as strippers.”Apparently,…
Yes we’re already giving away tickets to the annual Get Physical night party, which, with the lineup addition of Tiefschwarz and Matthew Dear, is shaping up to be even better than last year’s. In Crossfade’s eyes, anything Get Physical touches is golden, so we’re excited about not just the label’s…

Local singer/emcee Anjuli Stars first got her first taste of success when Pitbull picked up her song “Raindrops” for his 2006 album El Mariel. Her vocals and soothing acoustic guitar strums were remixed behind hip-hop drums to create an updated version. Pitbull then laid his own emotional verses on top…

You wouldn’t know it by his minimal but funky robo-beats, but Parisian star Dan Ghenacia started off his DJ career enamored of deep house. Yes, he was lured to the psychedelia dark side during a year abroad in California, and brought back the soulful sounds to his native Paris, where…
At 24, Burns has a DJ career most would be envious of. But his meteoric rise has been because of the hard work and dedication he’s put into his craft — and well, a shout out from the likes of Annie Mac, Mylo, and Calvin Harris doesn’t hurt either. He’ll…
AOL’s music blog Spinner tracked down Surfer Blood lead singer J.P.

Talent runs in the Rodriguez Lopez-Cepero family. It certainly graced Luis Alfonso, better known as Latin Grammy winner Luis Fonsi.

After flirting with the mainstream in the late ’90s, when the millennium turned, drum’n’bass got a little confused. The music got darker, and harder, diverging into way too many sub-genres with ridiculous names (“drill ‘n’ bass,” anyone?) and scaring off the women. Most of the female energy went into new…
Even if Jack Johnson’s mellow, acoustic slices of unbridled happiness aren’t for everyone, at least when he comes to Cruzan Amphitheatre August 26 as part of his just-announced U.S. tour, he won’t be screwing with our lungs. (We have a feeling that Lady GaGa fans will need more of a…
After earning New York cred by joining hardcore stalwarts Kill Your Idols for a 2003 split release, Long Island’s Crime in Stereo developed a scorching yet melodic brand of hardcore on its first two full-lengths. The band’s third LP, 2007’s Is Dead, put them on the map as a visceral…
