Dear women of the world, exactly how starved for attention are you? Would you say, hungry enough to twerk off in front of thousands of people at a music festival? If you answered “yes,” our next question is: Are you already heading to Electric Zoo in New York City? OMG,…
Wikipedia defines a “troll” as “a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people… with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.” Some trolls are less evil than others, though.

Dance music isn’t a religion, but taking a look around today’s dance floor might lead you to believe it’s possible. It’s not all sex and hedonism. These beat freaks are having life-changing experiences. They flock from all over the world to pray at the altar of light and bpms. And…

Florida has been getting a bad rap lately. And though it may seem at times like we’re a lost cause, that assessment isn’t entirely fair. We’re actually a global cultural force that spawned Major Lazer, one of dance music’s most inspiring and original outfits. Members Diplo and Walshy Fire are…

The man born Brian Warner is actually rather shy. But give him some color contacts, a latex body suit, and a crowd of thousands, and that skinny, pasty, quiet Florida boy transforms into Marilyn Manson, one of the most shocking musical entertainers of all time. After nearly two decades of…

There is no effing way you haven’t heard of Krewella by now. Maybe you were ignorant this time last year, but not now. Their song “Alive” is inescapable, and even in February, they had the doors of Club Cinema on lockdown as literal hoards of hopeful ravers stood around chanting…
She is the Queen Bey of strong, independent ladies the world over. But that doesn’t stop haters from throwing shade whenever she proudly represents her famous hubby. Right now, Beyoncé is feeling pretty stoked about her personal life. The woman gave birth to her first child last year, and she’s…
“Um, where the fuck am I?” It was a rhetorical question. I asked myself this as I stared slack-jawed at the driveway of a mansion I very well knew was in Weston. Out there, by myself, I was hunting down what was supposed would be a wild pool party full…
Thousands of years ago, ancient Celtic and Germanic civilizations celebrated the first day of May — a month eventually named for Roman fertility goddess Maia — with dancing, drinking, and general merriment.

Sometimes it feels like the whole dubstep craze has blown over. Surely, the kids have moved on from the bass-driven wobbles that Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift have adopted, among others. But then, Borgore comes to play a show at Revolution, and he’s got the kids lining up around the…
Block x Blog was a celebration. Fort Lauderdale musicians, artists, vendors, and scenesters all came together under the unified roof of the Revolution Live complex to show what makes Broward County special and reminisce about the good things of youth. The place was decorated with balloons bent into oversize flowers,…
Many look at Ft. Lauderdale and see a bland concrete wasteland north of Miami, but not Mathew P and Eric Michael K of the JAMS DJ Network. They see a city on the verge of a cultural revolution — if it wants it.”I think there is an opportunity, especially in…

Feeding in the dark corners of the room, Afrobeta want to make you make love. Two home-grown beat slaves set on dance floor domination, if Afrobeta bothers to make a sound, it’s going to be the kind of hyphy-groove your body can’t deny. Tucked away in a shed behind their…

To most of the world, spring break seems like a lot of fun, but people who live in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or South Padre Island understand the dark side. Damn college kids pass through for…
Damn, Ultra Music Festival is a mad house. Everywhere you look, it’s neon titties, the bottom half of an ass, or some kind of sexy rabbit hoppin’ around with a lollipop in her cheek. Last year, we introduced “The Seven Ravers You Meet at Ultra Music Festival.” But this time,…
