Do you long to be a video ho or homie, shakin’ booty and droppin’ it like it’s hot, or lounging around in a six-fo’ with your boys whilst sippin’ 40s? Well, it’s doubtful any of that will be going on at Xperimento’s video shoot this Friday evening. But you can…
Friday, February 12*Navegante has been called “the Latin Gnarls Barkley,” and he plays this Friday night at Jazid, in Miami Beach, with local trio Penelope Sky. No exact word on cover but it should be under $10. Click here for more details. *Guess what kind of music Timba Swing plays?…

The impromptu Sunday afternoon sessions at Electric Pickle are becoming Miami clubland’s number one guilty pleasure, and PL0T’s Valentine’s Day throwdown this Sunday is just too good to pass up. Esteemed DJ/producer and Wagon Repair label head Konrad Black will be reloading last year’s “Black Valentine’s” party and congregating Miami’s…
If you’re single on V-Day, don’t feel weird — South Florida is full of the similarly unattached and possibly disillusioned! Join them and be alone, together, at these V-Day alternative parties…. Or if you’re in one of those couples that eschews commercial “holiday” traditions, pass go, collect 100 punk points,…
Let’s face it: Valentine’s Day sucks, no matter what your sitch. If you’re in a relationship, it sucks. After all, who wants to spend a night at a jam-packed “romantic” restaurant where, the already crappy service is going to deteriorate exponentially due to the Hallmark-driven frenzy, while some asshole forces…
Hipster dance music trends may come and go, but BBC uber-DJ Annie Mac is always one step ahead of them all. Definitely the fiercest female on Radio One, her eponymous Friday-night show, with its trademark guest mini-mixes, give you an up to date who’s-who in the scene. (Recent editions have…
I try not to be too biased when it comes to Latin music. But it’s hard to stay impartial when you’re Cuban. After all, we’re talking about one tiny island responsible for so many ass-shaking styles of music, it’s downright mind-boggling. Never mind the fact that every single exile you’ve…
What haven’t we said about Otto von Schirach that needs repeating? The man is pure insanity behind the decks and a true performance artist. While Europeans goes ape-shit every time Otto crosses the Atlantic, Miami is more tepid about Otto. Why? We don’t understand. The man brings the bass like…
Sure, all the big Crosstown Rebels stars were just here for the Rebel Rave tour at Space this past Saturday. A WMC stop, though, with a Crosstown Rebels Get Lost party, is an absolute requirement. (Besides, sounds like some fans, and even DJs, weren’t too thrilled about how the night…
The handsome Canadian transplant Tristan Clopet is something of a musical anomaly on the local scene. With his band, the Juice, he skips both the indie flavors of the week and the super-commercial aspirations of others around town. Instead, his music recalls those heady days of the early ’90s, when…
Aholsniffsglue is all over the fuckin place; street signs, corner walls, toilet seats, gas pumps. We heard he owns his own trucking company, Ahol Dumps. People say he’s the one been killing all those horses in the Redlands. Some lady in line at the store told us that Aholsniffsglue is…
Paleface is an archetypal musician’s musician, the kind of fiercely talented guy whose friends all go on to surpass him in fame, but never stop singing his praises. Known as one of the originators of so-called “anti-folk,” he got his musical start more than 20 years ago thanks to a…
Apparently, French DJ/producer/clubland killjoy David Guetta and once-respectable, now-mild-douchebag MC Kid Cudi filmed a video in Miami — and pretty damn near our offices. Thankfully, it was for the Guetta song “Memories” which is nowhere near as annoying as “Sexy Bitch.” In the video, Guetta and Cudi stroll along Biscayne…
In the dance music world, Deadmau5 has a Midas touch that works even indirectly. Two years ago, his remix of the L.A. producer Morgan Page’s track “The Longest Road” scored a Grammy nomination, and of course that pointed the spotlight back to the track’s creator. Page was long ready to…

Alukard celebrates its debut full-length release at the Vagabond this Thursday
In support of its fifth studio release, 2009’s The Show, Yonder Mountain String Band is deep into the aptly named Cabin Fever Tour. Considering the group hails from the mountains outside Boulder, Colorado, it’s a no-brainer why this four-piece renegade act makes a sunny Florida stop during its annual winter…
There are few artists as quintessentially representative of Cuban culture in the United States as Willy Chirino (and Celia, que en paz descanse). The man is a hero to the exile community not only in South Florida but also nationwide. Whether you came from Cuba or were born here first…
Fanny Lu is a lot of things, and only one of those is super-friggin’-hot. Actually, we could count that quality twice and might continue to mention it. But the Colombian beauty is far more than yummy eye candy. Although the Cali native spent some time putting those looks to good…
The flagship band of the West Coast Black Rock Coalition wing, beloved by artists including the late Miles Davis and OutKast, Fishbone has long persisted as a vital pioneer of stateside ska, striving tirelessly toward an equivalence of diverse styles and visions. Sadly, ‘Bone’s adherence to 2-Tone as well as…
