As much as Guilletine and my self are fans of instrumentals, I’m totally amazed that Damu The Fudgemunk took this long to shine light on. We’re constantly listening and learning just to bring all of you some of the best Hiphop you’ve probably never heard and trust me when I say… this might just be one of those artists. A master at the SP-1200, Damu the Fudgemunk is also a student to some of his (and your) idols such as Pete Rock, Grap Luva and even DJ Premier. And you will... Read More →
I recently talked to REBEL’s frontman Micke and asked him how the band’s new release, Locations, was coming along. Micke said that he was excited and extremely proud of their work. I honestly didn’t expect anything less from REBEL. But then I got worried when he said that this project’s sound was more mature. When I hear the word “mature” used to describe a band’s sound, I tend to kind of freak out. In my mind, when a band says their sound is mature it means... Read More →
I prefer the indies over mainstream any day of the week; the problem is the technology available to us is a double edged sword. Talented independents such as Young Circles, ¡MayDay!, The CornerStoners et al, have a plethora of resources right at their fingertips to take their craft to the next level. The downside? They’re competing with trash. Amateurs and impulsive, frivolous individuals who decided 20 minutes ago they want to make music are also using these tools. The result: Read More →
Considering we just lost one of the legends last week (R.I.P. MCA), DJ Guilletine and Antisteez decided to pay homage to one of the most epic crews to ever touch the Hiphop scene. One of our past writers is the biggest Beastie Boy fans in existence (I’ll fight whoever says different) and we asked him to pick out the songs that best described The Beastie Boys. And obviously DJ Guilletine made the magic happen with the tracklisting. 33 years making music, The Beastie Boys released a total of... Read More →
I’m actually looking forward to a few musical events that are happening this year. Some of the ones on this list hit closer to home than others. I’d also like to point out that this is an absolutely personal list and has nothing to do with my team at antisteez. And this list is not necessarily in any order. All those disclaimers said, let’s get on with it. I’m GENUINELY excited about the fact that two of my favorite local bands are coming out with new releases. I won’t... Read More →
If you did not know, The Vagabond is our home away from home. Last year it hosted the ubber-awesome Goobs for Boobs III in which I, your master of humor, Isabel, diligently dunked our first lady – for a great cause: the ta-tas. But here I am rambling again about things that have passed, just like grandma used to do. The point of this is that The Vagabond has a pretty incredible itinerary in store for you sweethearts for the month of “Mayo” and I have been especially selected... Read More →
This week we take a look at one of the illest cities to ever make music. Yes, Motown was born in the city of Detroit, Michigan… but have you really paid attention to the Hiphop this place is pumping out? Royce, Eminem, J Dilla… sure you’ve heard these dudes but take a listen to the ones you might have never heard of. Names such as Phat Kat, Black Milk, Elzhi, Platinum Pied Pipers, Waajeed and one of the toughest females in the game, Invincible. All of you constantly listening know... Read More →
While musicians, singers and artists give their all on stage there are plenty of people putting in work on their behalf. Our May calendar serves as an ode to the producers, mix engineers, light and sound, booking agents and managers who are often the unsung heroes of the music business. Not to say our talent this month is unsung… far from it. They’ve made themselves known in Miami and then some. The pair known as Miami Beat Wave started off classmates and ended up making music...

While talent and good looks will get a group of musicians far, real success is in the details. Those details... Read More →
