The Miami date of the Blazed and Confused Tour, originally scheduled August 1, was officially canceled a few days ago, but there was a lot of confusion in the aftermath.

It seems like the international EDM talent is just pouring in at the Electric Pickle lately, to the point where the artist bookings are coming in pairs and even triples each night (see last week’s disco/house/techno three-way with Sunshine Jones, Pete Herbert and Benno Blome). Needless to say, this gratuitous…

As far as we know, a star-maker didn’t have anything to do with the formation of Hey Monday. But the West Palm Beach group’s members seem to have been as carefully cast for their roles as the telegenic types who made up two of Florida’s prepackaged ’90s-era exports, ‘N Sync…
Daniel LeDisko and Jo’B, the twosome currently causing L.A. Riots, are the remixers of the moment — definitely a short-term position given the trendiness of the international club scene but one that can occasionally lead to greater things. The duo, which will share the console with Felix Cartel, has been…
Orlando outfit the Angst formed in 2004, but these guys could have come straight out of the early ’80s punk scene.
