What’s better than Dave Matthews Band concert? An aneurism? Hemorrhoids? Bio-terrorism? No, hater, two Dave Matthews Band concerts! The South Africa-born, Virginia-based dad-rocker, winemaker and occasional actor announced a multi-city summer tour earlier today, a cross-continental trek that’ll Crash into funk rock hotspots like Noblesville, Indiana, Scranton, Pennsylvania and Saratoga…

Drake’s Club Paradise Tour With ASAP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar BankUnited Center at University of Miami Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Better Than: Slightly dirty sweet talk that’s not set to million-dollar beats. Have you ever visited Club Paradise? In the words…
Miami isn’t just some metaphorical cheap beach motel where the electronic dance music industry from overseas gathers to mingle and party during WMC. No, it’s also the place where some of the world’s top EDM brands are actually born. Case in point: Flying Circus, the long-standing WMC party conceived by…

Diplo, Sleigh Bells, and Liturgy Grand Central Miami Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Better Than: A Valentine’s Day spent home alone, dancing with yourself to Diplo. On Valentine’s Day 2012, highly manicured young (and then some) adults swarmed like…
Remember when we told you that LIV was among the highest-grossing nightclubs in America? Well, the reason this glossy Miami Beach joint gets so damn paid is because it books really dope backup acts like Major Lazer in case of an emergency. Originally, A-Trak was scheduled to appear tonight at…
Miami beatmaker Amtrac celebrated the release of his album Came Along at Grand Central in September. And ever since, he’s been riding a chillwave of success. He put out a video for the album’s title track. The song was recently featured on Jersey Shore. And now he’s back with another…
Of all federal holidays, the third Monday in February is often welcomed with very little fanfare. With the exception of a month-long celebration in Alexandria, Virginia, and the annual George Fest in Eustis, Florida, Presidents’ Day has become a cheap excuse for auto dealers to offer “zero down and zero…
As soon as we scored our credentials (and complimentary swag bags!) from the Bruise Cruise nerve center in the Xanadu Lounge, all members of the Crossfade team raced through the bowels of the Carnival Imagination for the comfort of our windowless interior cabins. Why? Well, we were superhyped to raid…
Bonnaroo unveiled its 2012 lineup moments ago with the random help of ESPN’s John Anderson. And according the SportsCenter funnyman, it’s going to be “crazy good.” Appearing in a YouTube video, Anderson pulls out a Roland AX-Synth from under his desk–a keytar he lovingly calls his battle-axe–and comically recalls the…
The Virginia Key Grassroots Festival descended upon South Florida like a ninja with a mullet. The entire Miami music community wondered, “Where the hell did these people come from? Who put this thing together? What’s with the crazy lineup?” But most importantly, “How can I get on the bill?” Fortunately,…
The Swedish House Mafia may be the top family in organized dance music. But they’ve got very little clout when it comes to striking deals with city officials. The Miami Herald reports that Miami-Dade County has “pulled the plug” on the Funkshion festival, a four-day, WMC party that would wrap…
Do you hear that uhntz-uhntz in the distance? It’s been 53 days since Ultra Music Festival 2012 announced its Phase 1 lineup, “a sprawling 92-act roster that ranges from massive dance superstars Avicii, Tiësto, David Guetta, Kaskade, and Fedde Le Grand to electronic music legends Kraftwerk, New Order, and Fatboy…
Third World and Inner Circle share more than a few things in common: names of exactly equal length (two words, 11 letters); status as two of Jamaican reggae’s longest-running and best-known bands; Florida addresses. What’s more, at one time, they were essentially the same group. Third World founders Stephen “Cat”…
Miami-area superstrippers Tip Drill and Skrawberry are on a guerrilla campaign to educate the world about their naked debauchery. First, they stole the show at a South Beach filming of MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Then they broke down the Republican primary field for Riptide, and we can no longer think of…
Reggae may be the world’s most perfect spliff-lighting music. But don’t forget its social imperative to promote justice in a world full of hate, tyranny, starvation, and unbound evil. Reggae is hope. And Ziggy Marley is coming to the Fillmore Miami Beach on May 9 to fill your soul with…
Last year, when Frank Ocean’s Nostalgia, Ultra and The Weeknd’s House of Balloons dropped within weeks of each other, critics and music fans celebrated the arrival of a fresh movement in R&B. Though the moods of those recordings differed considerably, they were both remarkably self-assured and sophisticated for artists so…
