To most Floridians, Orlando may seem like nothing other than a toll-road tourist trap. But it’s also the home of one of the Sunshine State’s youngest and most promising musicians — though he wouldn’t tell you that himself. Marcel Everett is 17, shy, humble and soulful beyond his years. He’s…
Grizzly Bear With Majical Cloudz Fillmore Miami Beach Tuesday, June 18, 2013 Better Than: A real bear attack on the beach. Nope … The Grizzly Bear isn’t native to South Florida. Maybe that’s why, as the Brooklyn band admits: “It’s been seven years since we played Florida. And this is…
In the whole world of EDM, there might not be a more fun-loving DJ-producer than Francesco “Phra” Barbaglia, AKA Crookers. Like, what kind of mind does it take to make a song called “Ghetto Guetta”? Clearly, Phra has the kind of brain that’s always racing to test new waters. Speaking…
Suit up for the second annual iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party and catch some rays at the world-famous, anything-but-subtle Fontainebleau Miami Beach. It’s all going down this weekend. And because this wet ‘n’ wild bash is Clear Channel’s baby, we’ll be gettin’ a poptastic lineup loaded with superstars and megahits. So…
There’s something about Brazil that exudes sexiness. Maybe it’s the way the tongue rolls when speaking the language. Or the beautiful, modelesque women who live there. Or samba. Whatever it is, we can all agree the place is an exotic wonderland. Luckily, you don’t have to understand Portuguese to fall…
The weekend may come to an end but when you’re in the Magic City, the party never stops. On any given night of the week, you’re bound to find superstar DJs or A-list celebrities throwing it down at LIV, Mansion, and the other mega SoBe clubs. Gotta love Miami! Check…
As Drizzy Drake himself likes to brag: “Started from the bottom, now we’re here.” Just a year and a half ago (even after the radio rap glory of his sophomore album, Take Care, and massive singles like “The Motto”), the YMCMB member was still “drinkin’ with his people” in mid-sized…
True, Miami may have some of the worst drivers, rudest people, and corrupt politicians in the whole country. But hey, we still live in one of the best cities ever! I mean, where else can you find some of the world’s best beaches, the greatest NBA team in the nation…
Summer officially begins this week, which means it’s time to take a vacation from partying only pretty hard. So load up the station wagon with ice, naked people, and flavored sonogram gel because Miami’s not stopping until September. And to kick off your road trip to oblivion, Nashville electro-pop duo…
Most of the club rats getting down to electro and booty bass these days are too young to remember the scene’s old-school pioneers like Egyptian Lover, AKA Greg Broussard. After all, most of us were still learning how to crawl (or hadn’t even been born yet) when Broussard was already…
Three decades ago, Afrika Bambaataa found the perfect beat when he made the “Planet Rock.” And it was that beat-breaking track that bridged the gap between hip-hop and electronic music. But there’s more to the Godfather of Hip-Hop than “Planet Rock:” Bam is credited for coining the term hip-hop because…
From the very beginning, Crookers hasn’t been like other dance music producers. His first hit, a remix of Kid Cudi’s “Day ‘n’ Nite,” didn’t even have a hook, just some blaring sirens and attacking synths, but it was a game-changing chart-topper. Yes, Crookers is really weird. And that’s what makes…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blames solanum. In Miami, early reports after an alleged outbreak in 2012 suggested bath salts. And in Brad Pitt’s forthcoming film, World War Z, it’s a global pandemic. Yes, zombie attacks are on the rise and pose a greater threat to Western civilization…
The 305’s musical tastes are as diverse as the masses who live here. We’re a bunch of EDM beat freaks, salsa fanatics, Rasta lovers, hip-hop heads, hardcore punks, and indie obsessives. But we can all agree that music brings us together. This is especially true for Afrika Bambaataa’s Zulu Nation,…
Cedric Gervais is the French-born DJ and producer best known for inciting a worldwide search for that girl Molly. But here in Miami, he’s just part of the family. Gervais moved to our city when he was just 15, originally planning to continue traveling across America, but like so many…

“Read more books” or “Fall in love.” We can’t help you tick these things off your summer checklist. But if “Get freaky” or “Get really freaky” are on there, good news: Cherub’s on the way. Nashville’s reigning electro-pop party freaks, will be coming to Miami, in part because they are…
Sometimes, you gotta live life on the edge and do something crazy like pull an all nighter club-hopping and fist-pumping on SoBe… And make it to work on time the next morning. Your body may hate you for it for doing it, but inside, you’ll feel like a total rebel…
The breadth of DJ-producer Uros Umek’s achievements during the course of his two-decade career simply cannot be overstated. Not only did he help kick-start the local electronic dance music scene in his native Slovenia after the fall of the Iron Curtain but he went on to conquer the global techno…

Just like rock ‘n’ roll, once used by the counterculture to liberate minds and stick it to The Man before selling out to MTV, electronic dance music was also once a music of spiritual liberation and transcendence. Then it became “EDM” and commercial Top 40 radio fodder. This was back…
