When we spoke to Pete Tong a few weeks back, he name dropped Kaskade as one of the bigger artists to come out of North America that everyone’s been going crazy about, and this week he’ll be in Miami at one of the most popular nightclubs in South Beach.
The U.S. has always been cranking out electronic dance music artists that have held their own in the genre around the world.

This Saturday night Mansion plays host to their very special musical guest Dirty South. Every time he took over the decks at SET it’s been a sold-out show, however, we’re not entirely sure how it’ll go this weekend at Mansion.
When DJ/Producers come to Miami to play a gig, it’s pretty fair to say that they usually frequent the same venues. For Erick Morillo and Paul van Dyk it’s Space, Deadmau5 and Roger Sanchez are usually at Mansion, and Shine likes to bring in Nick Warren and guys from the Dirtybird crew. Dirth Sout...

So when we heard that Mansion would be opening up next Tuesday night for an old-school hip-hop party, we were pretty ecsta...
One highlighted event this weekend takes place at Mansion, and this time they’re bringing in Sébastien Léger to serve up all the sound. Before this guy was known for his special blend of electro-house, but now it's all techno-house.

Every weekend seems to have a special musical treat and this one is no different. One highlighted event this weekend takes place at Mansion, and this time they’re bringing...

Thanksgiving; a day to sit down with people you love, and sometimes hate, and dig into to massive calorie filled platters and endless amounts of booze that will get you saying things to your family that you never imagined you would.

The Girl About Town recovers from birthday mayhem and sets you up for a week of summer fun.
So I've been taking it easy lately. It could be the weather, the season setting in or maybe the rediscovery of my love for sleep…but I certainly made up for lost time this weekend. To kick things off this week, I finally made my way over to Soultech at Skybar in the Shore Club. A mi...
The Girl About Town spends some quality time with the beach, prepping for her annual escape from Memorial Day madness.
This week marked the return of my favorite (and most seldom) indulgence - sleep. Maybe it's the weather kicking my ass, maybe it's months of closing down dance floors and trudging into the office at 10 the next morning. Whatever the source of the issue, the running theme in this weeks GAT is over...
This week the Girl About Town reflects on post-conference lethargy, our slowly growing weekly seedlings and the herbal celebrations on the horizon.
It seems like the post-conference lull hasn't completely lifted. Maybe the drizzles had something to do with it, but a few rainy nights shouldn't be any excuse for the well-weathered night owls of the Beach and Downtown. Regardless of these thinner crowds, things seem to be looking up for a lot o...

Miami's shining week has come and gone and some of you were left with that forlorn feeling that comes the day after a disappointing Christmas or birthday. Personally, this conference left much to be desired for me and the buzz around most shows generally gravitated towards "better last year". A f...
