Portugal. The Man is a paradoxical anomaly. Springing forth from loins of Alaska’s glacier dotted landscapes, the rock trio known for its genuine live performances stretches its musical roots into this aurora borealis of style and grace, far removed from the...

Jump suits and glitch breaks. Dances moves and bass quakes. This means The Polish Ambassador is in town, delegating his funky sounds on April 11 at Double Down Live as part of his “RemixUrFace Tour!” This glitchin’ machine, hailing from Oakland, Ca., produces...
Mark Starr Makes All...
posted by GPS
Mark Starr is a DJ and producer Tallahassee, FL. Since meeting him at last year’s Dancegiving Music Festival, we have been keeping in touch. Sending me tunes he has made for feedback, I found that he makes music that he himself likes, straying clear of branding himself to any one genre....
FWP Best Of March Playlist
posted by Lesson25
March is over, bringing us that much closer to the end of the world. But hey, if the world is going to end this year, you might as well check out some cool tunes on your way out the door. Here is Fresh Wet Paint’s Best of March playlist, in no particular order: Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again Genre: Soul Why it rules: Kiwanuka is, simply put, the best singer-songwriter there is right now. Good Old War - Can’t Go Home Genre: Folk Why it rules: Good Old War takes the often-repetitive and droll indie-folk sound and turns it into something that is anything but. Alex Winston - Velvet Elvis Genre: Indie Pop Why it rules:...
Miami Noize 2012

For me, Miami Music Week/WinterMusic Conference ended Saturday night. Though it was a day earlier than the official end, I can’t emphasize enough how okay I was with that. Following the Dim Mak Pool Party, I made my way over to Mamushka’s for Boys Noize’s label party Miami...

As a DJ, I like to keep the crowd guessing as to what is going to happen next, keeping a sense of surprise. Towards this goal, I dig for new, good tunes you have never heard before. But I can’t keep tunes a secret forever. So today, I present to you all South Central. Hailing from the...

Day two felt like being on South Beach compared to Friday. The sun was shining down on the snow, which melted down like everyone’s stamina. But just when everyone thought they were all dead from the night before, we were recharged and all pumped up for Saturday’s shenanigans. The...

WMC is right around the corner, and we’re getting things warmed up this Friday with our own double-feature disco extravaganza in Gainesville. It’s going to be quite sexy. But if you’re not up in No Fla this Friday, Miami is getting their own kick-off party. Committee...

Avon is a family-oriented town. Walking through its streets, you wouldn’t expect to find a music festival packing 12,000 womp-womp bassheads, bundled hipsters and new-age hippies. Yet the second-annual Snowball Music Festival could not have been set in a more beautiful and scenic venue;...
Ultra Newb Fest: Why EDM’s Biggest Festival ...
posted by JeRK
Ultra Music Festival 2012 is right around the corner, and a lot of you have received your blinged out holographic tickets via UPS. As everyone shows off their shiny pass to pleasure, I feel somehow responsible and ashamed that Ultra is revered as this iconic dance music festival. I am a Miami native, and grew up with Winter Music Conference in my backyard. I have been a supporter of the dance music scene for almost 15 years. In that time, I have seen Ultra grow from a tiny dance party on the beach to a full-fledged powerhouse that has changed dance music forever. Although that may not necessarily be a good thing. Winter Music...

Alex Winston: King Con Review
posted by Lesson25
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen: The best album of 2012 (so far): King Con by Alex Winston. From track one through 12, Alex Winston’s “King Con” is the blueprint for how to write an indie pop album. It’s the ideal image of American society: a melting pot. Except instead of throwing cultures and people in the melting pot, we’re throwing in music – done to perfection. Every song boasts a diverse palette of instruments, which isn’t hard to do, but maintaining a musical center of balance is. It’s not easy to make an ’80s-reggae-influenced track have the same feel as the folk-synth track...
