Radioboxer’s has been something of a Cinderella story. They came from the virtual brink of oblivion when they decided to disband Fallaz, but kept it together and started Radioboxer, a new band with a whole new energy, hell-bent on grinding through heartfelt alternajams with clever lyrics and a very refined…

Another Winter Music Conference in the books, party people. And if you’re reading this, it means you survived, which is commendable in and of itself. One always comes out the other side a little worse for wear, but satisfied. This year was no different.Friday we passed by Bayfront Park to…
Crossfade would like to bestow the best performance at this year’s Ultra Music Festival to Major Lazer — hands down the most engaging and energetic set we witnessed in the span of two days. The album, Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do, was easily the most ambitious and progressive dance…

Yesterday, Los Angeles-based event HARD finally made its Miami debut, something we expected them to do ages ago. But did HARD live up to the hype? No and yes. We would have liked to have experienced HARD as a full-fledged production instead of a daytime pool party, but with the…

Music journalism can veer (re: careen out of control) into some real douche-y environs and while their…
Don’t think for a second that this house throwdown has anything at all to do with the knuckleheads from that inexplicably popular show Jersey Shore; in fact the keen cats behind this action are about as far-removed from those dimwits as one could get and still be in the Garden…
