In just four years, III Points has grown at a staggering pace. Year one, the festival seemed to have been slapped together in a matter of months. Yet despite the rush job, 2013’s inaugural edition was electric thanks to the headliners, which included DJ Shadow, Jamie xx, and James Murphy…

Prison had only amplified the mythology of Gucci, and now he was on everyone’s radar, from his hometown streets…
In the EDM world, the club is king. DJs grind night after night to earn their space behind the booth, their name in LED lights while the confetti rains down around them. Krewella’s been there, done that. So for their ongoing Sweatbox tour, chart-topping sisters Yasmine and Jahan Yousaf have…

Back in 2002, André “Scrilla” Scott’s relationship with Rick Ross was simply as a fan. As a college football player and aspiring rapper who hung out with the wrong crowd, Scott found a familiarity in Ross’ story, and looked up to him and what his music had done for Florida…
Fudakochi met Nobody his first day on the job at Panther Coffee in Wynwood, some time in 2012. “Finally we got a black man working here,” Scott “Nobody” Patterson said with a smile. Patterson was a Panther regular, and a familiar face to anyone who frequented Wynwood. To Fudakochi, though, he…

If, as a child, the notion of mutilating the neighborhood cat made you a little squeamish, Wednesday night’s concert at the Fillmore Miami Beach probably wasn’t for you. One half of the all-time big four of thrash metal were in town — Slayer and Anthrax — and an army of their…
God bless the sweet souls over at Klangbox.FM, Miami’s local internet radio station helmed by Patrick Walsh and Laura (of Miami).

Walls and borders seem to be the topic of discussion for old, orange gelatinous politicians these days. But the new generation exists in a place where physical walls have no meaning: the internet. Those same politicians have worked to group people together into neat and tidy boxes – boxes filled…
You step into a bar in Miami and a live band is playing. How did they get there? They didn’t just magically appear. And they didn’t just walk into the room carrying instruments and commandeer the stage like a troupe of funky pirates. As you peruse through the back of…
III Points is only ten days away, and if the layers of lineup additions, a dope local compilation, and intergalactic art installations aren’t enough to get you excited, here’s another little appetizer: the set times.
