A Very Miami Christmas: Win Free Tickets!

Gunplay: “I’m Not Scared of Success Now”

Gunplay approaches a medium height Hispanic male who has jus taken a bump of coke. He disrespectfully places a finger in front of Gunplay’s face suggesting for him to hold on. Not one to take the disrespect lightly, Gunplay pulls out a gun from his waist and shoots the man…

Miami’s Ten Under $10 Weekend Party Guide

Feeling the broke effects of all that Holiday shopping, and it’s barely even mid-December? You’re not alone. And while you may have wasted all your money on space cat socks to give to your buddies on Christmas, that doesn’t mean you have to pay for it now by spending your…

Big Freedia Talks Bounce, Bad Twerkers, and All Things “Asstastic”

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Miley Cyrus gets a lot of credit for bringing twerk to the masses. But Diplo told ladies to “Express Yourself” before pop’s most ratchet princess ever cranked up that booty. And hell, the Ying Yang Twins sang “Whistle While You Twerk” in 2000. Still, no one’s got…

30 Richest Musicians of 2014

Glitz. Glamour. And obscene, seven-figure weekly paychecks. Such is the life of the rich and famous pop tarts, rock stars, rappers, and superstar DJs who enrich our lives with their inspiring music, spectacular tours, semi-nude Instapics, and endless drug-taking, DUI-ing, sex tape-ing antics.

Giraffage: “I Don’t Want a Label Telling Me What Kind of Songs to Make”

When we saw Giraffage open for Porter Robinson’s Worlds tour, he completely blew us away. Sure, we were familiar with the San Fran producer’s quirky-yet-sexy style, but it’s a whole lot different for someone to rock a 3,000-capacity venue when, up until then, he’s mostly played small, dark clubs. Giraffage’s…

305 Fest: Four Days, Five Venues, 57 Bands

Miami’s always had good punk rock, even when the rest of the U.S. didn’t know it. Our city’s punk scene has been world class since the mid ’70s and the Magic City’s actually developed a sound of its own, steeped in tropical sludge and sun-bleached scuzz. That’s why 305 Fest…

Andre 3000’s Basel 2014 Art Talks: Video

“I felt like a sell-out.” That’s what André 3000 recently told The Fader magazine about Outkast’s 2014 reunion tour. At least, though, he seems to have enjoyed designing the jumpsuits. Emblazoned with slogans like “art or fart?” and “i’ve never had f@cebook, twitt@r, or inst@gram” and “make love like war,”…

Basel Castle 2014 Turnt Up With Yung Lean, Mykki Blanco, Mike Will Made It

The palace got ratchet. Over the weekend, Basel Castle packed a couple thousand party people (Scandinavian spitter Yung Lean, NYC shapeshifter Mykki Blanco, New Wave-y crew Future Islands, rap producer Mike Will Made It, some graffiti artists, even the chicken and the egg) into an actual castle in Wynwood. But…
