That green blur is the lone dancer at Nocturnal last night.Yesterday, Jose Duran weighed in on the Eatskeet . com / Hipsterrunoff . com “Party Worth Blogging About” at the Gansevoort plunge pool, which we both attended. He was mostly on the money, but I should add that the party…
Who is Fedde Le Grand? According to Wikipedia he is a world famous Dutch house DJ and producer. Why is he in Miami? Apparently they got some kind of techno festival goin on down here. Who cares? A lot of people, maybe even you. So what’s with all the stupid…
Justin NamonPara One taking over the decks at Louis. Click here to view the full slideshow.I must have spent the whole day at the Gansevoort South yesterday, because after attending A Party Worth Blogging About (debatable), I returned for an private Ultimat Vodka event at the hotel’s rooftop pool featuring…
click for fullsize flyer We never thought we’d ever live to see the day when prolific LA experimental electro darling Deadalus would be co-headlining a party with Will.I.Am of the Black Eyes Peas, but we’re living in strange time folks. The Hello Miami party (Friday starting at 9pm at Dolce…
The mid 90’s are coming back to Pompano Beach Amphitheater in the form of the one two-hit wonder band The Offspring. What’s surprising about this announcement isn’t that The Offspring is coming here, it’s that they’re still making music at all. Add this to the Nine Inch Nails/Janes Addiction announcement…
Vienna. Always culturally and politically modern yet pleasingly anachronistic in many ways, Austria’s low-slung capital is an amber cast of the 19th Century. But a little more than 200 years after the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in that very city, along came DJs/producers Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister —…
Sidelines Sports bar buzzes with healthy conversation as basketball flickers on the many flat-screen television screens. Men, many still in their workday business attire, sip frothy brews and shoot pool. Suddenly, the distinct first couple of notes of a song trickle from the speakers, and the conversation quiets. All eyes…
The international dance-floor domination of the German electro-house duo Booka Shade as well as that of the record label they cofounded, Get Physical, came serendipitously. “The plan was not to have a plan,” Arno Kammermeier, half of the twosome, says of Get Physical’s heady early days. It was around the…
The first time I caught DJ Sandman, it was on a Sunday afternoon outside by the pool at the ever-swinging Shore Club. TAI Entertainment was throwing another of its long-running blowouts, and the joint was jumping with more models and bottles per square foot than Hefner’s dream house. Even better…
Anybody with keen ears, common sense, and good taste buds digs the Dresden Dolls. Why? Because they’re the most exciting thing to sound off since Marlene Dietrich sang for Josef von Sternberg, that’s why. And to think otherwise would be to miss out on music itself. And if you dig…
As Tall as Lions’ self-titled, 2006 sophomore album was one of that year’s most overlooked. That’s a shame, because the Long Island, New York,-based band’s disc was a surprisingly bittersweet, wistful work, full of soulful lullabies about the fleeting nature of life and love. Ghosts and faded lovers populated its…
Kill Miss Pretty. If the name alone doesn’t get you, the band just might. The Boynton Beach-based act is a soul-stealing threesome comprised of pixie-throated singer Alicia Olink and Ouija board-wielding ax men Russell Rogers and Martin Davis. And thanks to its out-there style and tunes, the band could very…
Yes, Ultra Music Festival was born of and remains true to the best and the brightest in DJ culture. But the fest’s preeminence goes well above and beyond two turntables and Serato. According to UMF codirector Russell Faibisch, this year’s lineup numbers nearly 260 artists and runs from the Satellite…
Though he’s perhaps best-known as Kanye West’s wheels-of-steel man, Montreal-based A-Trak has been releasing his own good-times mix albums for a few years now. His many, many appearances around the World Music Conference come in support of his new one, Infinity +1, on which he chops up tunes from all…
Backward baseball cap-wearing white boys of South Florida, rejoice! Kottonmouth Kings are coming to town and bringing their friends. Fans of Kottonmouth Kings will have the opportunity to hear live versions of some of their favorite hip-hop tracks about smoking weed and living in the suburbs, including hits such as…
Jose D. DuranIf there is nobody at a pool party can you still call it a pool party? Just returned from the Gansevoort South. Music editor Arielle Castillo and I were at the A Party Worth Blogging About event by EatSkeet.com and HipsterRunoff.com. So in honor of HRO I’m going…
The end of the video also includes part of one of the new songs
In a return to early punk shows, Respectable Street is having a few of South Florida’s finest this Saturday, March 28th @ 6p.m. One of this writer’s personal faves, Nobody’s Hero, with Joe Koontz (AAA, the Crumbs, On the Account, etc.) and Dougie and Dave from Guajiro, are on the…
Hamburg-based producer Stimming has been making waves in the elite minimal community with a series of highly distinctive and phenomenally funky releases on his hometown’s Diynamic label. Both a trained classical musician and certified audio engineer, his mind-boggling productions defy the stereotypes of techno and the very parameters of dance…
My music is (as you know) stripped down to the bone (perhaps why you were nearly naked)…I hope that the music I create is both appealing to the body and mind allowing you to dance full force on the dance floor, hide in the corner of a club with your eyes closed, or while relaxing at home.
Industry insiders or civilians who just happen to be fans of Latin music may find themselves wanting for panels and performances specifically addressing their interests during Winter Music Conference. But there is an event for them. Though it is not exactly a WMC sanctioned event, it has all the right…
Dutch DJ Joris Voorn has gotta be one of the headiest head-spinners working the decks these days. In fact, his double-disc Balance 014 mix CD seems to spring straight from an ether all its own. So New Times decided to give the celebrated dance man a chance to bring it…
