Inside a New York state civil courtroom, a musical tale of “irreparable harm” continues to unfold as Lindsay Lohan refuses to drop a seemingly bogus lawsuit against Pitbull, Nee-Yo, and Afrojack, the result of her “Give Me Everything” overreaction. In LiLo’s eyes, “Hustlers move aside, so I’m tiptoein’, to keep…

After spending the past three days getting wasted and shaking ass all over SoBe, uhntz-uhntz-ing around Biscayne Bay aboard the Tikki Beach, and getting pruney in the Shelborne’s pool, you’re fucking pooped on partying. And like EDM quirkmeister Riva Starr’s mustachioed clubber baby, you’re whining, “Last night, I was drunk…

Who is St. Patrick and why does he have his own day? We don’t know. But we’re pretty sure about the reason we can never remember it … All those pints of Guinness, shots of Jameson, and Bushmills on the rocks. If it weren’t for the corned beef and cabbage…
It’s Winter Music Conference. So for the last 24 hours, we here at Crossfade have been raving and raging with a gang of incurable beat freaks, hardcore partiers, Junior Boys, sun junkies, and Miami nightlife legends. But we’ve taken a 45-minute nap on the dance floor, slugged a Red Bull…
During WMC 2010, White Room (currently Eve) was the unofficial DJ VIP room. Except, it wasn’t really VIP. DJ and fans easily hung out side by side. It was the only place were the average partygoer could find him or herself talking with some of the best EDM and DJ…
Though the name Mykki Blanco is already a sort of nom de plume — we’re talking about a performative alter ego, after all — Ms. Blanco has another one, the Cosmic Angel. Think about that for a second: a supernatural creature from space, wielding protective powers and harmonious vocal chords…

Miami homeboy Danny Daze (AKA Daniel Gomez) blew up big time in 2011 thanks to a bass-heavy dancefloor bomb called “Your Everything” signed to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’s Hot Creations label. Needless to say, the record made our cut for Miami’s Best Albums of 2011. And it put Danny’s…
For boy bands, former Tiger Beat heartthrobs, and arena rockers, VH1’s Behind the Music is often a sad, hour-long reminder of what once was –groupies, money, three-day benders — and the grim reality of what has become — rehab, foreclosure, obesity. Those episodes often linger in the background while you…
Get your mojo workin’ on St. Paddy’s Day with a crucial American blues superhero. James Cotton — the man known as “Superharp,” veteran of the Muddy Waters band, the Howlin Wolf band, the man who got “Killin’ Floor” guitar blazer Hubert Sumlin up to Chicago to join Chester Burnett’s show, and a…

Ben WesthoffAbnormally attractive pedicab driver.Paying homeless people $70 a day to serve as human wifi hotspots is a bizarre way to make a buck, but it’s indicative of the hustler’s spirit at South By Southwest this year. Folks are grinding hard and employing increasingly-gimmicky measures to make money. But there’s…
In two days, millions of non-Irish folks around the world will gather in inauthentic “pubs” for a day of drunken debauchery in the name of St. Patrick. In Miami, however, Tyler, The Creator and his Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All collective will (sweaty) dick slap the Big Mango…

In New Jersey, Whitney Houston is spinning in her grave and violently vomiting over her own corpse, filling the oak casket to the brim.

Bro, what a mission! We just moved into a new place outside the city limits y los vesinos are already starting to piss us off. They’ve got three huge dogs, one of which insists on barking super early in the morning while the other two stare us down through a…
If there is one act that rarely disappoints, it’s Simian Mobile Disco. We’ve caught the duo so many times live that we’ve started to lose count. From a cavernous light show at the now-defunct Studio A to an odd New Year’s Eve booking at the Shore Club, what stays consistent…
The EDM game is tough. Before you get the big dollars, you’ve got to pay your dues and take a few hits. So it’s no surprise most of these heavy hitters are well into their 30s or even older. But over the last couple of years, there’s been a youth…
