Knife Party took over Miami Wednesday night, elevating the Haunted House tour to Mansion proportions. Tommy Trash , Kill The Noise , Candyland , Jordy Dazz and Walden joined in on the action, taking turns presiding over the gruesome yet glamorous melee. Though Knife Party first kicked off the tour last year and opted to use the same visual combination of chainsaw, fake blood and half-naked ghoulish dancers, the Mansion set was anything but predictable.The duo took the decks around 3 a.m, immediately setting the crowd ablaze with the still unreleased " Power [...]
The thrill of Miami and South Beach were just as we left it last year. Some who’d been in town since the beginning of Weekend 1 of the Ultra Music Festival were already feeling the effects of their party insomnia pattern. As a refresher on this Tuesday arrival the recommendation is Oh! Mexico on Espanola Way. Menu item musts are the (best) guacamole (ever) and any meal that comes with their smoky charra beans. Kyau & Albert hosted a meet-and-greet in Miami Beach on a houseboat called, of course, Living The Dream . Euphonic’s own Marc Marberg [...]

The Opium Group , the conglomerate representing Miami clubs Mansion, Cameo, Set, and Mokai, has just announced their first phase of Miami Music Week parties. So far Opium has only shared details about these eight shows at four clubs for the week of March 19 through March 24th, but there are sure to be many more events dribbling in the lead up to Ultra, WMC, and MMW. There's a little something for everyone: Afrojack and his Jacked party, John Digweed and Bedrock, Umek and his 1605 crew, James Zabiela and Born Electric [...]
Sandcastles were fun back in the day. Back in the days when we were all about waist high and had a couple teeth missing. Fortunately, for art's sake, some of us never graduated from those cherished beach days. Sand sculptor Calvin Seibert is one of those people. Manipulating sand into clean, distinct geometric formations, Seibert's creations resemble something closer to mid-century architectural structures than just mere sand castles. Over the past six years, Seibert has developed his celebrated sand aesthetic, creating works that are a stark contrast from the bucket and pale castles you and I used to make. With [...]
Traffic jams clogged every conceivable artery traversing through the shimmering neon din that gives the streets of South Beach their character, nearly as much as the numerous inebriates, tourists and other assorted creatures of the night that line its sidewalks. The bustle was mirrored overhead as an expansive cluster of lights and explosions intermittently laced [...]
Instrumental hip-hop legend DJ Shadow has made good on his promise to make the DJ set that got him kicked off the decks at Mansion nightclub in Miami free to the public. While Shadow did receive a belated apology from the club — only after a wave of negativity on social media because promoters asked Shadow to leave the DJ booth for not playing commercial enough music — the upside is that this mix is pretty stellar and typical of the style he played on his All Bases Covered tour. Over the [...]
Hace algunas semanas mientras DJ Shadow se presentaba en el club Mansion de Miami ocurrió un incidente: uno de los promotores le pidió terminar su set, ya que éste resultaba inapropiado para la audiencia del lugar por ser “demasiado futurista”. Pero, ¿de verdad este mix fue demasiado avanzado, obtuso, desquiciado o incomprensible? Júzguenlo ustedes mismos, aquí los sonidos del futuro bajo el título "All Basses Covered (The Infamous South Beach Set, December 2012)" .
On December 14, DJ Shadow was kicked off the decks mid set at Mansion Nightclub in Miami, for playing a set that the club deemed "too futuristic." While public outrage ensued via social media, Mansion has since issued a formal apology to the turntable legend. After the drama transpired, the music world was left wondering "what the hell did Shadow play to get kicked off during his own headlining tour?" In response to the rampant curiosity, DJ Shadow has uploaded his "All Basses Covered" set from the night. Spanning everything from trap, to hardcore rap, to breakbeat, to glitch [...]
DJ Shadow knows that when life hands you lemons you make lemonade. After being asked by promoters to leave the decks during a DJ set at Mansion nightclub in South Beach, Miami earlier this month because he wasn't playing commercial enough music, the influential Cali-based instrumental hip-hop DJ/producer will make good on his promise to make the infamous set during his All Bases Covered tour available to the public. On December 30 the set he played at Mansion will be made available on Beatport and is “a full, live recording of the entire set, which [...]
DJ Shadow was stopped mid-performance during a set at one of Miami's most well-known clubs, Mansion. Mostly populated by pretentious party go-er's and Miami bro's, the club is known for bringing high profile EDM acts to perform. After about 20 minutes of his performance DJ Shadow was asked to cut his set short. The producer took to twitter following the act and humbly addressed the situation. Since the event occurred Mansion has been going through a PR nightmare. Nothing that the club won't bounce back from, however, the venue has issued a public apology to [...]
![DJ Shadow Kicked Off the Decks At Mansion, Vows to “Never Sacrifice My Integrity” [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4675384_lg.jpg)
What does DJ Shadow now have in common with Mark Farina, Dennis Ferrer and Tommie Sunshine ? They've all been kicked off the decks this year at U.S. clubs for not playing commercial enough music. Shadow's public embarrassment happened on Saturday night at Mansion in Miami when his All Bases Covered DJ tour rolled into Magic City after a successful Friday night performance at Brooklyn Bowl in New York. While Shadow was in the mix he got a tap on shoulder from the night's promoters (see raw video below) who were apparently expecting something other than the [...]

Having already etched his name indelibly in the firmament of the international dance music community, locally-based DJ/Producer Robbie Rivera has brought the party to the Magic City for over a decade now, establishing the perennial staying power of his Juicy Beach party over the course of several WMC/MMW weekends. In keeping with Rivera’s sterling reputation [...]
Ten years ago,the pop punk debut record from a little Long Island band was released to the public. This record, Tell All Your Friends, would be one of those defining moments in music. For some, it meant falling in love and for others it meant falling apart. It would inspire new bands to form and for Taking Back Sunday's own career it would help it to take off. Ten years later, some shifts in lineup, and the TAYF lineup is back; they're still putting out influential music and packing clubs. It was a special moment in Lawrence, [...]
