Right on the heels of the Jeru show last Friday, the White Room has another performance from a dope MC, this time it’s N.O.R.E. a.k.a. Noreaga, also of Capone n Noreaga. Since his arrest earlier this year down at Fatburger on the beach, N.O.R.E. has been busy, witnessing the release…
The Orlando InvasionMumpsy, with Surfer Blood and XOXO Saturday, June 14, 2009Propaganda, Lake Worth Better Than: Drinking freshly squeezed OJ with Japanese Tourists. The Review: O-town is famed for being the primary residence of the world’s most renowned mouse, and for spewing out annoyingly cutesy boy bands. So can anything…
Adultnapper is the shadowy alter ego of Brooklyn-based DJ/producer Francis Harris, a philosophy PhD drop‐out, former political activist/hardcore punk rocker, and one of the darker iconoclastic figures of contemporary techno. For a man who once admitted to having originally hated dance music, Harris has emerged in the late 2000s as…

Their website claims they’re the original British Invasion band, just above a scrolling banner begging visitors to “Call your local Oldies station and request a Herman’s Hermits song TODAY!!!” It’s alternately sad and cute, especially after doing a little research and finding out they actually rivaled The Beatles for a…
Initially catching a break as an opening DJ for progressive figurehead Sasha, U.K. DJ/producer James Zabiela funneled an interest in acid house’s tightly pitched trills and the instant editing potential of the Pioneer CDJ decks into a blissfully slick sound that’s both sci-fi and hi-fi. Digitally assisted by MIDI controllers,…
Is a DJ a musician? Some say yes, some say no. If you say yes, what happens when the DJ ditches the turntable and kicks on the Serato? Are they still musicians? And what about the Pioneer CDJ folks? Or the Apple core crowd? Are they musicians too?The question is…
I’m not going to make the usual references to Teenage Bottlerocket being from the small town of Laramie, Wyoming and then go on to say that they remind people of the Ramones even though they are from this really small town in a western state and the Ramones are from…
Here are excerpts from a recent email interview with local hip hop photographer Derick G.”I started in the music industries by getting on music video sets. The ball really started rolling when i was on set of “we takin over” by DJ KHALED featuring a star studded line up …Akon…
You wouldn’t think the American Civil War and reggae music would be closely associated. Nothing’s less Rasta than people warring over states rights and abolition, but John Brown’s Body begs to differ, at least when it comes to their name. Originally a marching song for the Union, John Brown’s Body…

In the world of Miami Beach party spots, Jazid (1342 Washington Ave., Miami Beach) is a welcome oddity. Not only does the small speakeasy-like joint stand in stark contrast to our city’s cavernous superclubs, but it has also managed to find a more permanent public than your average hipster bait…
Steely Dan should have belonged to the oughties. Their particular blend of soft-rock bears so many of the hallmarks of latter-day indie royalty that one begins to wonder whether it’s a coincidence at all, or if Walter Becker and Don Fagen are actually time-traveling sonic explorers sent from the far…
Fatboy Slim will be forever preserved in the mainstream pop culture annals as that funk soul brother who all but left so-called “electronica” behind as he crafted commercial-ready dance hits. Seriously, his late Nineties/early 2000 hits are so massive that they need not even be named. (Oh, here are a…

Remember when Eddie Murphy decided it was time to turn away from the silver screen and dive into pop music? If you said yes, you’re officially old and probably hesitant to give another actor a shot at a music career. The difference between Mr. Foxx and Mr. Murphy, aside from…

Vous etre un chien! That means, “you are a dog” in French. It’s not terribly impressive, but it’s all I managed to retain from a year of introductory French in freshman year of Christopher Columbus High School, before I got kicked out and began my extensive tour of SoFla’s high…
