The Real Miami
A comprehensive look at the various regions of South Florida, the communities collectively labeled as Miami
I woke up this morning and realized Winter Music Conference is here. Listen, I like all the DJs that come to town. Well, except for Afrojack. I lost all respect for him when I heard he was banging Paris Hilton. And he abandoned an already-pregnant girlfriend for that washed-up attention whore. Not cool if true. [...]

Hello to the Real Miami!
The Real Miami is whatever you think it is. It could be the celeb-trash of South Beach, the yuppie pseudo-partiers of Brickell, the gritty Downtown environs, the hipster trash of Wynwood, the dilettantes of the Design District, the high society of Hialeah, the dangers of Doralzuela, or the ruins of the C9 basin. We’re getting this little social experiment up and running, so bear with us. There’ll be a lot of broken links and weirdness for quite a long time.
If you’re not the type to have your Winter Music Conference/Miami Music Week plans neatly scheduled and sorted (and spread-sheeted) by now,
we present to you our top WMC dance_floor recommendations.
WMC 2012: Friday, March 16th through Sunday, March 25th.
This is the inaugural run of the 10-day-stretch.
