Miami’s Five Best Electronic Dance Music DJ Crews of 2010

Although Miami’s hosted WMC for decades and booked commercial DJ heavyweights at megaclubs like Space for years, it’s only recently that there’s been a steady influx of quality underground EDM bookings. And if 2010 was any indication, you could almost say the MIA is starting to become an electronic music…

Novalima Goes Next-Level at Grand Central January 7

When listening to Novalima, fans will find many similarities between this modern Afro-Peruvian group and the highly percussive sounds heard every night in Calle Ocho’s nightclubs. After all, both Peru and Cuba have a long history of blending the music of formerly enslaved Africans with the drums of the native…

Elastic Bond Frequencia Natural EP (Self-Released) elasticbond.com As time passes, Elastic Bond band leader Andres Ponce is beginning to look like the greatest export the rhino-shaped country of Venezuela could’ve mustered. (Sure, there’s all that petroleum for your lame SUVs and the Miss Universo titles. But that’s politics for a…

Our List of Miami’s Best Concerts of 2010

Maybe you’re the kind of high-minded individual who enjoys the occasional night out at the opera. Or maybe you spend every Saturday night losing your mind to murder thrash in an abandoned Coconut Grove bomb shelter. Either way, you’ve probably put together your very own Ten Greatest Moments in Live…

Best parties for New Year’s Eve 2011

Wouldn’t it be great if we were all lucky enough to spend New Year’s Eve snorting an entire uncut key of White Diamond caviar while guzzling ice-cold magnums of Piper Heidsieck 1907 as if it were Gatorade? Unfortunately, you’ve got to be a Kardashian, some guy with a rare and…

Ludacris at SoBe Live on new year’s day, January 1

Ludacris has made a career of walking the fine line between offensive and infectious. For ten years, the charmingly crass MC has made songs that are just substantive enough for the critics, and just catchy enough for radio. He’s got it down to a science at this point: When he…

Art Department at Electric Pickle December 31

Although Toronto DJ-producers Jonny White and Kenny Glasgow are established scene veterans, nothing prepared them (or the world) for the tsunami wave of “Without You,” their 2010 debut as Art Department. A monstrous bass-driven banger oozing with raw sex and haunting Quaalude-hazed vocals, it dominated international dance floors and DJ…

Matt Tolfrey at Space January 1

Sure, the internet may be infinite, but all you laptop producers gotta understand it’s not OK to digitally release whatever noise pollution creeps out of your MacBook. Frankly, it’s time to stem the flow. Otherwise, like minimal-techno DJ Matt Tolfrey has said, “you’re just filling up a virtual record shop…

Steve Angello at LIV January 1

If he hasn’t already made plans to build himself a giant geodesic disco dome atop the Fontainebleau Hotel, Swedish House Mafia member Steve Angello’s top priority in 2011 should be purchasing a prime SoBe condo. Ever since he and fellow Mafia-men Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso headlined the main stage at…

Dead Kennedys at Revolution January 1

When news hit our inboxes that ’80s legends Dead Kennedys would be making a stop in South Florida on January 1, 2011, we didn’t know what to do. Should we hide our obvious New Year’s Eve hangovers and go out again in honor of our favorite San Fran-based hardcore punk…

Black Sabbath tribute at Tobacco Road January 1

When your predictions for the future of Planet Earth and the general good of all mankind are just as murky and doom-filled as the fourth and final verse of “War Pigs,” there’s probably no better way to acknowledge the passing of yet another year than waking up after sundown to…

Beach Boys at Hard Rock Live December 31

The Beach Boys have experienced a kind of resurgence by becoming a reference point for today’s most buzzed-about indie acts. For example, Grizzly Bear’s super-tight harmonies and layered instrumentals are an obvious throwback to Pet Sounds. But none of the polish and sparkle of the Beach Boys’ songs would’ve been…

Mr. Oizo Bringing His Jagged Jams to Grand Central January 29

If there was ever an underrated musician out there, it’s Mr. Oizo. While he gained a bit of notoriety thanks to his track, “Flat Beat,” and its adorable video star, Flat Eric, Oizo has always been a behind-the-scenes kind of man. When he isn’t busy directing films or commercials, he’s…

The Juan MacLean Drops a DJ Set at Bardot Tonight

If DFA has taught us anything, it’s that if you combine nu-disco beats with a dash of house and a bit of punk attitude, you have an instantly winning combination. Sure, label head James Murphy (under his LCD Soundsystem moniker) has made an entire career out of it. But here’s…
