When he’s not pushing Dr Pepper or exposing his Family Jewels on A&E, Gene Simmons rocks silly makeup and platform shoes as the legendary lead singer of Kiss. Similarly, when he’s not dubstepping aboard Holy Ship! or steering megayachts with his penis, Tommy Lee beats the skins for arena rock…

Happy hump day, beat freaks. How fuckin’ rowdy was Steve Aoki last night at Mansion? The Dim Mak Miami party was so worth the $2,500 VIP table for six. Our frat bros loved it. They met so many women named Molly, flirted with all of them. In fact, after Aoki’s…

Two seizures and an alarmingly high-caloric diet are mere speed bumps on Rick Ross’s road to world dominance. The man does not stop. He’s constantly slangin’ MMG dick ’round the world, reminding everyone that he’s a Boss, a self-made millionaire “selling dope, straight off the iPhone.” Now Rozay has a…
”I just wanna fuck your face,” Mike Dece croons on “I Love U,” his faux-sensual R&B collaboration with the equally crass Tropical Boy$. “Put my dick deep in your eye.” Obviously, the track is not about playing hard to get. In fact, it’s about the exact opposite: Getting your freak on…

March is total mayhem for the Miami music fan. For a solid week, the world’s greatest DJs descend upon the city to make our clubs, hotels, and poolside bars their bitch. With over 300 parties, it’s nothing to drop hundreds before the workweek even ends. But it doesn’t have to…
When we mentioned SBTRKT (pronounced subtract) in our list of of ten most exciting acts at Ultra Music Festival, we were being dead serious. The British musician is often pigeonholed as post-dubstep. But in reality, he carefully navigates EDM genres, splicing disparate styles and influences like a human supercomputer. That…
With the dawn of Miami’s own late ’80s and early ’90s booty music contingent, hip-hop was evolving to the point of becoming an entirely new sonic construct.

What day is it? Has anyone seen our “I’m in Miami, Bitch” tank? We remember taking it off to jump into the Shelborne pool on Friday, but it was gone four hours later after we got out and dried off. Mid-March in Miami feels like a seemingly never-ending bleep-boop bender…
