The Weekly Podcast

Another week, another podcast, another sleepless night. Hope y’all are learning some hip-hop. Not counting the mixtapes I throw in, replacing podcasts every now and then, I think we’ve hooked you guys up with about 26 podcasts. That’s a hell of a collection to whoever has all of them. In memory of the status update I had last night on Facebook, I shall name this podcast “Gamster Attack: Moxie vs. Arroz con Pollo”. Enjoy this podcast and don’t stick anything up... Read More →

Santana has a brand new album coming out on September 21, 2010. The album is called “Guitar Heaven: Santana Performs the Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time” and it has a shit load of guest singers from various vocalists from a lot of today’s modern rock bands. It was very recent that Carlos Santana propsed on stage to his drummer Cindy Blackman during a show in Tinley, Illinois right after she performed her drum solo. After many years of magical music performances. compositions... Read More →
Off his latest musical brainchild, The Reset, Apollo Brown delivers yet another triumph in sonic production. “Balance,” narrated by emcees Kenn Starr and John Robinson, is an otherworldly musical composition. The beat cooks low and slow with an orchestral bass line and swirls with synthesized harmonics that elevate the track to a unique frequency. “I really wanted this song to take the listener somewhere when they hear it,” notes Brown. “Some people call it a dreamscape sound. It’s just thought provoking life music to me.” The sixteen bar verses dropped by Starr and Robinson are well chiseled models of deft lyricism; however, the prime cut from this beast is Brown’s beat construction that effortlessly throws listeners off balance in this ironically titled track. “Balance” is up for grabs on Apollo Brown’s album, The Reset.
DaVinci, the Bay Area emcee, has been receiving incredible amounts of attention after delivering his critically acclaimed album, The Day The Turf Stood Still, and more recently being named one of the Bay’s best new rap talents on KMEL’s Freshmen 10 list. The rapper’s label, the quickly rising Sweetbreads Creative Collective just released a video (in conjunction with hip-hop site 24K Milkcrate) showcasing DaVinci’s recent trip to L.A., an eventful trek for the young emcee....

Global warming is a hot topic. Whether it’s the product of our own mindless self-indulgence or some grand ol’ conspiracy by tree hugging scientists… Why not debate this hot topic while sipping on some tequila? And why not throw in some live performances to get the edge off? Tomorrow LEXUS presents The Darker Side of Green where author and renewable energy advocate, Amanda Little will square off against author and climate policy skeptic, Chris Horner in a debate of green issues while Jamie...

A good birthday party includes friends, music, food and couple of adult beverages. Now, when Miami turns 114 next week a “good” birthday party will simply not do. The City of Miami and DowntownMiami.com thought that something bigger and badder should be orchestrated for the birthday of our grand city. "Miami 114" by Stephen Gamson What’s sure to become a yearly event will take place in the heart of the city, Downtown Miami, at the American Airlines Arena. In honor of Miami’s 114th... Read More →
Passion, loyalty and determination are just a few synonyms I chose for Kiki Valdes an artist whose work is infused with the sights, sounds and flavor of the city. Whether it’s the acrylic, pencil, charcoal, ink or oil, his paintings grab a hold of you and show you all the colors he sees in our 305. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid...

Ketchy Shuby: The New Sound IS Downtown Soul
Category: Interviews|Music Posted by: Stephanie
18 Jul
You take reggae, soul, blues, afrobeat, jazz, some latin undertones, some psychedelic sounds, a lot of love and mix it up and you get Ketchy Shuby, a 305-based band that is doing big things on the music scene. These Miami boys have created their own genre of music called, “Downtown Soul,” which, according to them, is, “Music for our City.” (I don’t now about you, but to us 305 natives, that sounds pretty good, eh?) If you don’t know them or have never heard of... Read More →
Sundays are for lounging and, if you did it right, recovering from Saturday night’s mayhem and Tomfoolery. Well, now you can spend your Sunday evening in recovery at Barbu, and while you are at it, help to raise funds for Haiti. (And by the way, I said Sunday EVENING because we all know you probably wake up at 2 p.m. on Sundays, anyway.) It’s been six months since Haiti was struck by a 7.0 earthquake that devastated the capital city, Port-au-Prince and in case you are wondering, yes,... Read More →
Miami sports fans knew coming into this NBA free agency summer of 2010 that the Heat would be major spenders. We knew there were three superstars available, as well as a bunch of good players. What we did not know is that Pat Riley would flex his pimp muscles enough to dominate negotiations and win us free agent A, free agent B, and free agency (let it sink in…embrace my puns), or if you prefer it spun (Spanish punned), I’ll give you…free agent-Si’! The great Heat heist... Read More →
If you guys don’t know about Oceansize, then you’re seriously denying your poor ears of some musical greatness. Oceansize has a great experimental and prog rock sound, but with a more commercialized approach. These are just one of those bands thats use everything they can to their advantage. From an indie style, dark, electronic rock, post hardcore, you name it they blended it in there tastefully. The great news to those of you that are familiar with Oceansize is the fact that they are... Read More →
