Now that NBC’s decided to keep Community on the air, we’re encouraging Donald Glover to spend that network money on Drake’s 3,800-square-foot, $1.9 million “fuck pad” at “Downtown Miami’s newest, most elevated address,” Marquis Residences at 1100 Biscayne Boulevard. After all, homeboy spends a lot of time in the 305…
For a few years there, Made Event’s Sunday School made up a big slice of the underground house and techno pie during WMC week, especially with heavyweights like Richie Hawtin, Luciano and Seth Troxler aboard their whopping 36-hour marathon lineup. But alas, Sunday School is no more. The party went…
Maritime travel has been uncharacteristically sketchy in 2012. First, the inaugural Holy Ship electro-cruise ran aground in the Bahamas on January 7. It took five tugboats nearly 15 hours to dislodge the MSC Poesia from land, putting a serious damper on Steve Aoki’s poker tournament. Less than a week after…
A few years ago, David Guetta was just another house music DJ who was huge in Europe and not nearly as well known here in the United States. Then came 2009, the year that the Parisian (one of France’s top DJs since at least the late ’80s) released his fourth…
When speaking of French electronic dance music, the first name that comes to mind is David Guetta, right? Yeah, that’s if you get your EDM spoonfed by Top 40 radio, you square. Because the underground house and techno cognoscenti of the world have been moving to the beats from a…
Goddamn we’ve missed Seth Bogart. The flamboyantly forthcoming Hunx and His Punk frontman left us shirtless and begging for a trip to “Lover’s Lane” when he visited us in September 2011, feeling like extras in a John Waters flick and questioning the respective sizes of Jacuzzi Boys’ dicks following the…
Ultra Music Festival band Neon Indian just released an Adult Swim-directed video for new-ish single “Fallout” and it’s just as cartoonishly trippy as you’d imagine. Coming from the minds of the best primetime stoner entertainment on the market, this clip features an animated hottie with pink hair, giant boobs, and…
When legendary Nigerian bandleader Fela Kuti toured the US in the ’70s, he was blown away by the funk, soul, disco and other African-American music forms he heard here. So he took them with him back to Nigeria, threw them in the blender with some African dance highlife and traditional…
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll uhntz-uhntz uncontrollably. That’s right … We’re talking about Ultra Music Festival’s 45-minute concert documentary, Can U Feel It: The UMF Experience. With a cast of 200 uber-mega-superstar DJs, lazer-wielding robots, tattooed mice men, half-naked electro groupies, and 150,000 soother-sucking beat freaks, it’s guaranteed to induce…
Almost without question, Ultra Music Festival now dominates the American dance festival scene. But Los Angeles’ Hard may be the next big event brand to rise to the top. What started as a bunch of one-off West Coast events has become a traveling series of mini-fests for young and wild…
Attention party animals! Sweden’s Miike Snow will be breaking it down at Ultra Music Festival, and you don’t wanna be caught slippin’. No, Miike Snow is not a man. It’s a group of electro-pop producers — Christian Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, and Andrew Wyatt — that’s created some of the biggest…

The official start of Winter Music Conference and Miami Music Week is less than a month away, and local venues are starting to reveal all the beat-wrapped goodies. One of the bigger juggernauts of the week, of course, is the Opium Group, which stands to dominate a good portion of…
David Guetta might have changed the entire sound of commercial pop and Deadmau5 may have gotten legions of clubbers to don faux rodent heads. But there’s no question that over the past year, the hottest name in electronic dance music is Skrillex, born Sonny Moore. The polarizing artist has been…
The United States of America is totally addicted to the white stuff. Strung out, fat, unfocused, cranky, fiending — we are a nation of shrubby slaves to the cane, cube, and spoonful whose bodies (and minds) could never be called beach-ready. But there’s a cure for our sucrose-, lactose-, and…
UPDATE Originally scheduled for February 29, Guns ‘N Roses has changed the date of its Miami concert to March 5. Break out your sweatiest bandana and stankiest pair of ripped jeans … It’s time to get “intimate” with Guns N’ Roses again. Just three and half months ago, the Axl…
Can you handle The Whole Love? ‘Cause Wilco’s ready to give it to you. Earlier today via wilcoworld.net, the Chicago alt-country crew announced its intention to lay the “Art of Almost” and “Standing O” on six cities across the Southeast U.S., including stops in states like Arkansas, Alabama, Mississipi, Florida,…
