Indiana-born, Berlin-based DJ/producer Troy Pierce is one of the great dark horses of contemporary techno. “Dark horse” meaning his rise through the international ranks in the last decade has been surreptitious, but also “dark” in the sense that he boasts one of the gloomiest and murkiest sounds in EDM. Louderbach,…
Poplife’s Aramis Lorie does a courtyard DJ set. Last night, the Adrienne Arsht Center’s young patrons, Green Room Society, hosted a preview of the brand new (and inevitably very blue) Bombay Sapphire Lounge. It’s officially opening to the public on October 19, but those attending Arsht performances can sneak a peak…

Unless, of course, his comedic corpse rises…
It’s every ’90s goth dream come true! English industrial trio Nitzer Ebb is coming to Miami. Unfortunately, we were just a glimmer in our daddy’s eye back when the band formed, but their tour archive says the last time they were in South Florida was ’92 at Hallandale Beach’s Button…
We’ve seen our fair share of guy-girl electro-rockers shaking it up in Miami lately, like The Golden Filter and Crystal Castles. So we can see why you might debate whether or not to bother with another one this Saturday. But Phantogram is one band you really gotta see.The Saratoga Springs duo is…
We always have to wait till Ultra or WMC to catch a glimpse of Paul Oakenfold in action. While we appreciate the Brit coming down to visit us every March, once a year just isn’t enough. Confession: Oakenfold was this humble reviewer’s gateway drug into the world of EDM. I…
Maybe Mr. Officer Ricky Rozay never flooded the streets with keys. But the facts don’t really matter. It’s been two years, a couple of months, and a pair of solo albums since the Carol City rapper (real name William Leonard Roberts II) got outed as a former Florida Department of…
Chileans have certainly made their mark on the international EDM scene — Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Alexi Delano and Nicolas Jaar were all born and/or raised in Chile, just to name a few. So was Alejandra Iglesias, AKA Dinky, a Berlin-based DJ and producer who’s been in the game for a…

Addax is an anomaly on the Miami music scene. For starters, the band’s style of rock has very little ’80s or synth-pop influence. It’s more inspired by late-’90s rock, but still Addax doesn’t just sound like a female-fronted Incubus. Sure, the major elements are arpeggios, unique time signatures, and poetic…
Over the past year since releasing his strip club friendly “Peek-A-Boo” in 2009, Jigg has been working on his High Grade project, which is rumored to be a mixtape, then later confirmed to be an album packed with original material. The Liberty City native has received a great response to…
Most people will remember Frankie Pointless from his old days in Miami rock with the outfit Splat, a pop-punk band that touted the best in excess that dear old Coconut Grove had to offer. They gave the hippies and Bahamians a run for their money when they held down at…
The collabo project can be tricky, especially when the key cogs of the two separate sides seem to come from different places. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn’t. In the case of Kingsley and Perdomo, the thing is a total success. The end result of this pairing between…
Thrash kings Anthrax, anchored by famously outspoken guitarist Scott Ian, land in Miami this Sunday as special guests on a tour with Slayer and Megadeth. Or at least, that’s the plan. If we learned anything from this week’s Miami New Times print music feature, it’s that Ian doesn’t take any…
Spilling blood in the streets is a common theme of both skating hard and rocking the fuck out. And often, these two extreme activities get tangled up and mashed together, breeding dangerous fun. Example: This Saturday’s Vice Magazine book launch bash at Bar for Full Bleed: New York City Skate…
The internet is a loose-lipped, mischievous bitch. If you’ve got a secret, do not tell her. She’s always slipping gooey gobs of gossip into our inbox and whispering dirty little nuggets of hearsay in foreign ears. That girl just can’t be trusted. Anyway, latest rumor out her mouth: On November…
