When we last checked in with Dharma, the single-monikered head of the local live electronic band OrganicArma, his biggest project was still more or less a dream. He and the rest of his band had purchased a sprawling warehouse space in Wynwood, planning to turn it into a creative funhouse called…
Just got word that Our House West of Wynwood will be hosting a party during Winter Music Conference. The Allapattah gallery hasn’t been open for long, but it’s quickly becoming a favorite. It’s already hosted numerous parties, include a string of them during Art Basel that we’re easily some of…
Er, I just received this in my inbox. Actor-turned-rapper Joaquin Phoenix had threatened the world that he was going to become a rap superstar, but I don’t think anyone took him seriously. Well, apparently at next week’s edition of Dirty Hairy with Craze and Klever, Joaquin Phoenix will be performing…
Used-to-be-local HC/post-HC/metalcore band Shai Hulud have a nice little interview up on Italian music site UnderTheory on their recent tour with Comeback Kid. This interview is a very my-first-zine series of questions in English by Italian cutie, Vale, in a halter top. Things like the band name, music type, and…
This Saturday is the Second Annual Lourdes P. Aguila Memorial Walk-a-Thon honoring La Reina de la Salsa herself, Celia Cruz. The event is being hosted by La Liga Contra el Cancer and will take place at Tropical Park, where community leaders and celebrity residents of our fair city will turn out…
It appears that the Berlinophile techno generation now has its very own Quadrophenia in the form of a new film called “Berlin Calling.” Starring real life EDM producer Paul Kalkbrenner, the movie is a moral tragicomedy of sorts about a successful Berlin DJ (metaphorically named DJ Ikarus) who succumbs to…
If there is one party you must never, and I mean never miss, it’s Berlin-label Get Physical’s Winter Music Conference party. For the last two years, Studio A has served as its venue, so we were a bit worried about where the party would move to this year. We finally…
Helping Organize Music Entertainment from Miami New Times on Vimeo.The DIY venue movement is a growing phenomenon in Miami’s urban core and suburbs. Maybe it’s being spurred on by the current economic climate, or maybe people are just sick of the same old sameness of commercial nightlife. Whatever the case,…
Raise your hands if you love street festivals. Okay. I can’t see you…but then again, how could I? Not sure what I was hoping would happen there. Anywho, that most phenomenal of all street festivals is coming up and you know what that means. Calle Ocho. About three quarters of…
Flo Rida, Carol City’s muscle-bound rapper and supporter of Floridians wearing “boots with the furrr,” is apparently not so hot on appearing on tracks with guys who (allegedly) beat their pop star girlfriend. The (alleged) song is called “Sweat” and though it’s been bubbling on the ‘net for a few…
I found out about the NMB Stunnaz through this video I found somewhere on the internet. They have the kind of sophisticated, organically built web presence intrinsic to millenial generation projects. NMB Stunnaz are wild and young minded, they have a hit song with its own dance, they know how…
Here’s a great video I found on the internet from the Downtown Miami Grave Rave at PS14. It’s performance footage from Outbreak and D-Murder’s set. This video is the first I ever heard of these guys and I gotta say they have a real good stage presence. Music aint about…
I found an e-flyer for an all-you-can-drink warehouse party in Kendall featuring live music and art, so as a member of the media it’s my responsibility to share that information with the world. Clubs are stupid, bars are expensive, parking lot drunks of the world unite! Straight-edge kids are welcome,…
On Wednesday, the Miami Herald reported that Luther Campbell had been taken to jail Tuesday night “for allegedly owing $10,223.36 in a child support case.” However, in an official statement yesterday, he claimed the money in question had nothing to do with the child support itself. He has fully admitted…
Call us nightlife anthropologists, because our assessment of downtown’s nightlife set being courted by glitzy South Beach continues to be reinforced. We wonder if we can present this as a thesis for our doctoral research?The ever-expanding Poplife, plus Overthrow (Alexis Mincolla and Sam Baum) and Vice Versa (Xavier Burt), have…

Noise, art, sound, dissonance, resonance, bass, high shelf, low pass, amps, tables, hacked electronics, loops, synths, midi, speakers. Sound nerds of the world unite.

Now that Ultra’s lineup has finally been unveiled, it’s time to move on the what the local clubs will be putting on. There are certain things we are concerned about for this year’s Winter Music Conference: Are there going to be enough people in town this year to support all…
So in addition to yesterday’s news of the unexplainable choice of booking the Black Eyed Peas for next month’s Ultra Music Festival, the final phase of the lineup has been announced. Notable additions include Rinton, Rye Rye, Surkin, Para One and Shiny Toy Guns to Day 1, and MSTRKRFT, BT…
A heads up to the house and techno heads looking to console their Sunday blues or unrequited Valentine’s by keeping the party going past the usual Saturday cutoff point… Gooshie House has a sweet lineup for their House 101 jam at Black Sheep Bar this Sunday. Talented locals Stryke, DJ…
There are some things in this world better left unexplained, but this is definitely not one of them. It’s been confirmed that the Black Eyed Peas (yes, the very same ones that created the weapon of mass destruction called “My Humps”) are set to perform at Ultra Music Festival next…
