The Miami Dolphins are on fire, y’all. A win against da Bears on Thursday night will make two-in-a-row for the team, tying their season-high win streak for the first time since beating the Bills and Vikings on consecutive weeks in September. Reason enough to party, right? Hell yes. And with…

It’s been a sensational year for DJ-producer Ashique Subhan, or Subb-an, as the international EDM community knows him. Over the last twelve months, the young UK native exploded onto the scene out of nowhere and already boasts an auspicious list of credits. Highly-charted releases on top labels like 2020 Vision,…

See the full 22-photo Vivian Girls slideshow. Vivian Girls Miami Music Festival: Tom Tom Magazine Showcase Gemma on Lincoln Road Saturday, November 13, 2010 Better Than: Swindling the doorman of a traditionally pretentious South Beach nightclub into letting you forego a cover, and walk into the joint wearing shorts…

JavelinWith EntresolThe Awarehouse, MiamiSaturday, November 13, 2010Better than: Playing Skip-It while having 1980s cartoon flashbacks.OK, so there were a lot of shows to see last night. Between Vivian Girls, Social Distortion, Paul Oakenfold, Miami Film Festival, the Art Walk, and Nitzer Ebb, among others, South Floridians had way too many…

See the full 28-photo Social Distortion slideshow. With Frank Turner and LuceroThe Fillmore Miami BeachSaturday, November 13, 2010Better than: An ’80s punk show in a burned-out dive bar in East L.A. Some genres are built for longevity, but you wouldn’t think punk rock would be one of ’em. The hard-charging…

Few artists out there embody the spirit of the EDM underground as much as British DJ-producer Clive Henry. As one half of seminal production duo Peace Division, he helped define ’90s tech house. And as a long-standing resident of the infamous Circo Loco afterhours party at DC10 club in Ibiza,…

After an entire decade behind the decks as a DJ-for-hire, German spinner Timo Maas finally became a full-blown techno convert in the early ’90s. He hung around warehouses and cut together live mixes that kickstarted his ascent through Deutschland’s rave scene. There were residencies in Hamburg, a slew of singles,…

With Ogre You Asshole The Fillmore Miami Beach Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Better than: A totally empty auditorium. Too bad Montreal indie rockers Wolf Parade don’t travel with a pack of thousands. The Fillmore could have used some filling last night. The crowd was only a cluster. But like singer…

Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, world-beat rock band Toubab Krewe is kinda like Animal Collective’s cousin from the country whose long-absent daddy happens to be the Dead. Taking cues from indie rock, psychedlic jam, and traditional Malian tuneage, the Krewe twists out songs — i.e. “Holy Grail” and “51 Ft…

We can never get too much Bachaco. Which is lucky, we suppose, because the guys have a pretty staggering schedule this weekend with the Miami Music Festival, playing five different showcases in just two days. “We couldn’t be happier to share our music with so many new and old fans…

Ludacris at James L. Knight Center November 11

Roger Waters at BankAtlantic Center November 13 and 14

Like any 31-year-old punk crew that has spent a good chunk of its life in the gutter — rocking recklessly, shooting heroin, looking for love, and breaking the law — Social Distortion has a pretty messed-up face. Obviously, we don’t mean that literally; Social D’s middle-aged frontman, Mike Ness, is…

Fantasia Barrino at James L. Knight Center November 14
