Atmosphere w/ Blueprint, Abstract Rude, and DJ Pure Groove
@ Revolution Live (Ft. Lauderdale) 10.03.08
It’s hard to explain what happens at an Atmosphere show. It is a hip-hop show, at its purest essence, complete with hip hop classic medleys, break dancing circles and freestyle ciphers, and cardboard boomboxes that serve as relics of the past.
It has been ten years. Ten years since the inception of the band that’s made history. There have since been new artists that have risen to glory and old groups that have fallen from grace, but Atmosphere, …
It’s been almost a year since I’ve been to the social, my attention diverted to club acts and Djs. It felt nostalgic and new at the same time, nice to see the place still packed beyond capacity, no one dancing, just like the good old days of music. My friend and I stood there, at the edge of the stage, reminiscing over the waiting periods between bands, watching the stage hands set up for Black Kids.

March 27, 2008 – Orlando, FL
by Melanie Gapany
The day for Kissy Sell Out must’ve started out rather poorly. For starters, the airline lost Kissy’s luggage.

Club Firestone & Saturday/Thursday – 03.06.08
by Melanie Gapany & Kevin Collier
If it weren’t for high tech cell phones and digital cameras, a typical Thursday night at Club Firestone would have most people running to check their calendars to make sure that they haven’t somehow traveled into the eighties. Surrounded by latex, sequins, and hairspray, it’s easy to get confused. Filled to capacity (around 1500-1600 people), however, this Thursday was different. The day-glo was still present and the pants were just as tight, …

Tucked into a city block in the heart of downtown Miami, Studio A is your typical Miami nightclub, with a decently sized dance floor and an impressive display of liquor gathered around a circular, freestanding bar, modern decor, and a large stage.

Miami is a strange and beautiful city. The people are unique, the buildings are deco, and there is a certain “je ne sais quoi” that lingers in the air at all times. Downtown, with the recent birth of its newest addition, The Center for Performing Art, is changing slowly but surely. The …
