The Legendary François K Talks Studio 54, Skrillex, and Burning Man
When speaking of legendary DJs, you need look no further than François Kevorkian. The man’s resume reads like the history of popular dance music itself. He cut his teeth at NYC’s seminal Studio 54 and The Loft during disco’s heyday, and at the Paradise Garage during the birth of house…
Tiesto Parties on a Plane With Swedish House Mafia: “We Were Shooting Corks at the Pilots!”
Who leads a sexy life of million-dollar beats, limitless bottles, sweaty groupies, massive megaclubs, rooftop condos, famous friends, and international travel aboard personally branded private jets?

Kraftwerk’s Ralf Hutter on Ultra Music Festival, New Music, and the MoMA Retrospective in New York
The excitement of talking with Ralf Hütter, the man behind legendary krautrock crew Kraftwerk, proved overwhelming. An interview seemed like a long shot, especially considering the fact that the last thorough press clip I could find was a June 2009 chat with The Guardian’s John Harris. And my over-sharing on…

Miami Music Week 2012: Dim Mak Double-Penetrates Miami at Mansion and Dream Hotel

Sebastian Ingrosso: Today’s “Enthusiasm Surpasses the Late ’90s and Early ’00s Scene”
To the three producers who make up Swedish House Mafia — Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso — operating on a massive scale is no big deal, pun intended. From the beginning of the trio’s rise to international prominence, they’ve seemed to always operate at a sweeping level, beginning with…
Ill Gates, Juan Basshead, and the Get Low Crew Blast Bass Waves at The Vagabond on March 15
The ever-rolling bass waves created by the tectonic booty claps of Miami in the 80s have tsunamied through space-time and crashed across Canadian borders. Low-end marauder and fresh-coast connoiseur Ill Gates is proof. And for his first-ever Miami show at The Vagabond on March 15, the Toronto native (who recently…

Winter Music Conference 2012’s Record Collectors Show: A Five-Point Survival Guide
Record fairs are like hypercompetitive, cut-throat, life-or-death archaeological digs. But instead of some swarthy scientist digging up the missing link between man and ape or some rugged Indiana Jones type discovering lost civilizations, you’ve got über-nerds frothing at the mouth, damn near ready to shank a motherfucker over a mint-condition…

Jane’s Addiction Announce Concert at the Fillmore Miami Beach on May 18
Even after 27 years, four albums, and a few line-up changes, Jane’s Addiction is holding on strong. In fact, Perry Farrell and company’s latest album, The Great Escape Artist, made it to the third spot on Billboard rock chart. So rather than kick the habit in 2012, these ’90s alt-rock…

Calle Ocho 2012: An 11-Stage Music and Entertainment Guide
It feels like only yesterday that we were shaking our hips with Gloria Estefan in a record-breaking 119,969-person conga line at Calle Ocho. But that was March of 1988, Reagan was in still office, and Miami New Times was only a fortnightly newspaper, not the massive multimedia empire that it…

Avicii Brings “Levels,” Philanthropy, and PLUR to Ultra Music Festival on March 24
Rising Swedish star Avicii is one of the hottest DJ-producers in contemporary house music. His massive hit “Levels,” which samples recently deceased Etta James’s “Something’s Got a Hold on Me,” gets so much play that it’s almost become obnoxious. But before you start hating on the guy for no reason…

WMC 2012: Eight Best Electronic Dance Music Cruises
When in Rome, you shuffle through the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum with a tour group. Guided by a dopey ex-pat, you learn the condensed histories of these places, take cliché family photos, and drop serious Euro coinage on overpriced gelato. When in Miami, however, you drop a hundred bucks…
Miami’s Top Five Nightclub Sound Systems
Miami residents are faced with tough decisions every day. Beach or pool? Take I-395 or I-195? SPF 30 or SPF 15? Put the top down or leave it up? The list is endless. Another FAQ for MIA heads: “Which club should I head to tonight?” And indeed, the Miami nightlife…
Juan Luis Guerra Is Incredibly Tall, and He’ll Be at the American Airlines Arena on March 17
Juan Luis Guerra — he’s an Afro-pop institution, a Dominican merengue y bachata icon with over 30 million records sold and a Brinks truckload worth of Latin Grammy and Latin Billboard awards. But most impressively, the dude’s mad tall — like six feet, six inches tall. And in the Spanish-language…

New Order’s Four Catchiest, Hook-Laden Songs
As the world’s most comprehensive electronic party extravaganza, Ultra Music Festival is dominated by the sonic phenomenon known as the drop. Simultaneously present in seemingly unrelated genres — such as the soulful vocal crescendos of house, the interlocking pulses of techno, or the bombastic bass-wobble breakdowns of dubstep — the…
The Casualties Hit the Circle Pit at Churchill’s Pub on March 8
Last time we saw The Casualties in Miami, the circle pit opened up wider than Bicentennial Park. It spread from Biscayne Bay to the Metro Rail and swallowed up everything from manatees to high-school girls, giant tattooed heshers, spike and leather punks, hardcore kids, metal mamas, stoner crusties, skateboard hooligans,…
Ten Best Music-Related Things to Do in Miami This Weekend Under $10
It’s been a tough week for everyone. Davy Jones died after God selfishly robbed the would-be jockey who “left millions of teenage pillows soaking hot and wet with culture-lust” from us, death-sentencing him with coronary failure and signing him to an eternally binding record contract on his heavenly label. Like…

Justice Drops Audio, Video, Disco at Ultra Music Festival 2012 on March 24
In terms of bleep-bloop music, few do it better than the French. Over the past decade, Pedro Winter’s Paris-based Ed Banger Records has dropped some of house music’s dopest seven- and twelve-inches, CDs and MP3s. Celebrated as one of electronic music’s most prominent labels, the Ed Banger family of artists…
