Hey White Room. Long time no see. This is sort of embarrassing, because I used to talk about you all the time. Things seem to have cooled between us, but in reality I still think about you all the time and I don’t want to see you leave.I saw that…
Despite being pushed back a couple weeks, it looks like Rick Ross’ Teflon Don album will, in fact, come out July 20. (Then again, that’s over a week away, and this is the hip-hop industry, so anything could happen, but fingers crossed). And where else would he celebrate but the…
For those of you that haven’t turned on the TV, listened to the radio, read a newspaper, or spoken to anyone else today, Ohio native LeBron James is signing with the Miami Heat. There have been numerous celebrations, outcries, outrages, jersey burnings, and then some since last night’s announcement, but…
We know you love New Times’ Best Of Miami issue. We know you pine for it each and every year. And that’s why we work so hard to bring you the very best Miami has to offer in one spectacular issue, so that your months of gazing longingly at saved past issues…
You don’t need to be the most devoted fan of rock en español to know La Secta Allstar, especially if, between 2005 and 2006, you turned your radio dial to any Spanish-language station for even five minutes. And if you did, there’s at the very least a strong possibility you…
The Electric Zoo festival, which launched just last year, is New York City’s somewhat latecoming answer to Detroit’s Movement Electronic Music Festival and Miami’s own Ultra — better late than never, right? 2009’s successful inaugural event at Randall’s Island Park in Manhattan summoned over 26,000 concertgoers and 50 international acts…
Marlins Super Saturdays are an awesome series of post-game concerts that happen on Saturday ballgames played in Miami. No bullshit, they are a great show. Fireworks explode in an amazing pyrotechnic display, the arena bass drops like a West Coast Impala, and there ain’t no screen like a stadium big…
Anyone who knows of 50 Cent, knows how often he’s gotten into arguments and/or picked fights with people. From making skits to songs deliberately crushing his enemies, he’s pretty much run the gamut. But now he may have just run out of people to have beef with — or maybe…
Miami artist David Lebatard, or LEBO as most know him, may as well be part of the local music scene. He’s always been in and around it, never too far from the action. Sure, he did work for the Mayfair in Coconut Grove, Las Olas Riverfront Complex, Burdines and others…
Remembering music industry great Bill Aucoin
New Orleans-born, L.A.-based DJ/producer Trent Cantrelle is a bit of a chameleon. His work generally leans toward the big, peak-hour style of progressive, as heard on tracks such as his recent release, “Siren Says,” but he’s also fully capable of going deep and dirty for a late-night set. Cantrelle’s mixes…
Longtime Miami music fans approaching an impending “certain age” might forever speak wistfully about the early-’90s South Beach scene around the Stephen Talkhouse and the local star it birthed: Nil Lara. Yes, it was a hallowed time, and Lara, the scene’s perceived savior, almost broke it huge with his multiculti…
While Miami’s techno scene becomes increasingly robust, most of the major out-of-towners rolling through ply similarly minimal, relatively low-bpm styles. Still, an entire internationally growing subgenre has been largely ignored in the city, even during Winter Music Conference. So-called Schranz or hard techno hails from the same country — Germany…

Head Spins: DJ Manuvers
What do you get when the equally weirdness-loving Roofless Records and Laundry Room Squelchers team up? This Thursday marks the first such promotional collaboration, but apparently it yields an awesome night of lo-fi, scuzzy, and experimental sounds that marry old-school with new. Representing the old-school is L.A. underground legend Azalia…

Lexus is hawking its new brand of hybrid cars July 20 at Grand Central with an event it dubs “The Darker Side of Green.” Scary, y’all! The debate will pit environmental journalist Amanda Little (the proponent) against professional cyclist Chris Horner (the skeptic). All these shenanigans will be moderated by,…
Music and politics seem to be meshing together a lot lately, and we’re not really sure why. The latest: Aretha Franklin has just announced that she’s going to team up with the former US Secretary of State to sing songs like “Natural Woman” and “Say a Little Prayer.”Taking place on…
