If semitrailers got down ‘n dirty like motor oil in a dank club beneath the highway, Revolting Cocks would be the house band. Spiritual kin of Thrill Kill Kult, this Al Jourgensen (of Ministry) side project does a grindhouse, brass-pole version of industrial dance, fueled by all the seething lust…
Brooklyn’s Drop the Lime has been nothing if not prescient. Those last few years, while everyone was running around to overly processed, overly happy so-called “blog house,” the DJ/producer born Luca Venezia carefully stuck to his own thing.

Miami’s winter self-denial quickly evaporated this weekend when we all got hit by a vengeful cold front, and with hot sunny days by the pool or beach now increasingly out of the question, there’s nothing left to do but dance to keep the blood flowing. The Electric Pickle’s cozy upstairs…
Yo P-Lo, this is C-Lo. I just want to say, I dig your groove.For those of you as yet unfamiliar with the P-Lo in question, he is none other than Patrick Lopez (no relation), the man behind the P-Lo Project, a super smooth sampling of some seriously cool jazz with…
