Deep house fans should be excited about this week’s South Beach party madness. The tides are really turning, and it seems like the house revival is real and crashing upon our shores. But that’s not to say we’re heading into a week without nasty, in-your-face, raw energy. And trance fanatics…
When you’re the Carters on vacay in Cuba …. You’ve gotta expect to get slammed by South Florida’s exilio Cubanos. Even if you dress like Maya Angelou and her bagboy on a humanitarian mission circa ’64. So it was probably no surprise to Jay-Z and Beyonce when Republican politicos Ileana…
What a “Good Feeling”… You’re so deep in the “Sweet Spot” and so loaded with “Sugar” that dropping approximately $2,250,000 on a ride like the Bugatti Veyron ain’t no thang. But who’s even gonna “Let It Roll” unless it’s “100% Gold”? See also: -Flo Rida Scores the Cover of Miami…
Damn, what’s that cloud of pine-scented smoke wafting through the South Florida air? Oh, it’s just the impending arrival of Rihanna.

Rick Ross insists the words spit on “U.O.E.N.O.” (“Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it”) don’t have anything at all to do with drugging a woman till she passes out so he can have…
Nudie bar regulars on NE 11th Street are weeping. Because, as the Miami Herald notes, downtown’s Goldrush strip club has closed. Just a couple of weeks ago, according to a police report, the joint was robbed of $42,480 in a safe heist that “the manager believes … to be committed…
He don’t belong to your motherfuckin’ “Clique.” Despite the fact that Marco Rubio’s got the Kanye, Big Sean, and Jay-Z collabo track looping through his Spotify playlist (not to mention Tupac’s “Changes,” Flo Rida’s “Good Feeling,” and Pitbull’s “Bon Bon”), it’s not like the Florida junior senator’s some sort of…
Taylor Swift is coming to town. She’ll be singing about heartbreak and no-gooders and bad romantic decisions. Of course, that’s all swell and splendid, but we want to see Tay-Tay’s other talents on display. And no, we’re not talking about her ta-tas. Girl has some dank dance moves. And by…
The Carters were officially OK-ed to vacay in Castro’s Cuba. According to “a source familiar with the itinerary,” Jay-Z and Beyonce’s controversial fifth-anniversary trip to the island, Reuters reports, was fully approved and licensed by the U.S. Treasury Department as a “people-to-people” cultural visit. UPDATE Marco Rubio says Jay-Z and…
You thought last year’s iHeartRadio pool party was, like, the Ultimate. After all, Flo Rida stripped down for the crowd while Enrique and Adam Levine humped out the hits. All the wasted white girls got wasted. And even tatted-up bros felt the love. But just wait for the 2013 edition…

As supercouple Jay-Z and Beyoncé prep for World Humanitarian Day (“I’m doing something good,” Mrs. Carter tweets, “somewhere, for someone else. Join me!”), they’re also getting slammed by South Floridian members of Congress Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart for helping to “fund the machinery of oppression.” How exactly? Spending all…
The traditional rock ‘n’ roll laser show just got a reboot. A quick scan of the repertoire reveals your standard-issue Planetarium jams: Led Zeppelin, the Doors, Grateful Dead, and, of course, Pink Floyd. But Saturday night, Planetarium Krautrock (presented by Miami Art Museum and Miami Science Museum in collaboration with…
South Beach can be a dangerous place. Everyone is too sexy. The rich VIPs run the clubs. And even though electronic dance music is currently the biggest thing in pop culture, famous DJs still get kicked off the decks. Obviously, though, clubbing in Miami isn’t as hazardous as grappling with…
Bomba Estéreo With Zuzuka Poderosa & Kush Arora Heineken TransAtlantic Festival 2013 North Beach Bandshell Saturday, April 6, 2013 Better Than: An aguardiente-drenched wedding in Bogotá.

Those darn Kitsuné kids are always trying to turn you on to new music. And wouldn’t you know it, they have a knack for picking out real talent. Last November, the Parisian electro label brought Oliver and the Twelves to Grand Central for their 10th Anniversary Club Tour. And even…
You know something’s up when legendary South Florida-slash-Gainesville metal group Floor is playing a local show and it’s not even the band we’re most excited about. We love Floor, its signature metallic hum, and bright pop flourishes. But next weekend, that beloved heavy-tuneage outfit will share the Churchill’s Pub stage…
April Fool’s Day may have past, but it’s no joke that you’re still broke. Now that the weekend is here, you wish you would have spared all that cash you spent on trying to fool your significant other into thinking you had a sex change – it was a horrible…
Suffering from uhntz-uhntz withdrawal? Well, your BFFs at Ultra Music Festival are hurting too.

There are few things manlier — and in a woman’s case, womanlier — than stepping out of “the closet” and letting the world know you’re gay. And you’d be an asshole not to respect someone with that kind of courage. But you’d be an even bigger culo to issue a…
