Miamians Vent Over Horrible Art Basel Traffic

Art Basel Miami Beach and the surrounding Art Week festivities draw global attention each December, transforming the city into an artistic hub. However, for Miami locals, the event also brings a less glamorous reality: overwhelming traffic congestion.
Residents have taken to social media and local forums to express their frustrations with the gridlock that paralyzed key neighborhoods during the 2024 Art Week. The influx of attendees, combined with street closures, construction, and an ever-expanding schedule of satellite events, has turned commutes into logistical nightmares for many.
“It’s a Complete Standstill”
Many Miamians have described the week as a test of patience. “Getting from Brickell to Wynwood took over an hour — it’s usually a 15-minute drive!” one resident lamented. Others voiced concerns about the lack of effective planning to mitigate the impact of increased traffic.
“Every year, it feels like we’re forgotten,” said another local. Thus highlighting the strain on public transportation and ride-share services during the event. Bumper-to-bumper traffic along major thoroughfares like I-95, Biscayne Boulevard, and Collins Avenue left many questioning the city’s infrastructure readiness.
Balancing Art and Infrastructure
While Miami Art Week undoubtedly bolsters the city’s cultural and economic standing, its repercussions on residents’ daily lives have sparked debate. Urban planners and local officials have been urged to devise long-term solutions. Those include better public transport options and more robust traffic control measures during large-scale events.
For now, the vibrant art installations, celebrity sightings, and global buzz come with a price. One of a city struggling to navigate the crossroads of world-class culture and everyday practicality.

House Hats Collective Launches Nonprofit, Takes Flight With Airport Hangar Party

House Hats is out to prove that house music can not only give energy, but also give back.
The US-based electronic music collective, which operates a prominent record label and prolific event brand, is currently celebrating its 5th anniversary. And they're going big, organizing their most ambitious event yet while raising funds for a timely cause.
The collective has announced "House Hats Hangar," a rare party taking over the Tampa International Airport's cavernous Sheltair Aviation hangar in February 2025. Two years in the making, the show will benefit House Hats' newly launched nonprofit, Beats Give Back, which provides foster care students with accessible music technology, equipment, education and opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
The hangar transformation symbolizes the collective's larger ethos: turning unexpected spaces into conduits for creativity and community support—all fueled by house music.
Sheltair's hangar in the Tampa International airport.House Hats/Sheltair Aviation Services
"House Hats Hangar" will follow the collective's recent 5th-anniversary celebration in central Florida, which doubled as an afterparty for EDC Orlando. Miami-based beatsmith ChaseWest headlined the show with support from Kinahau and Slugg.
The night will kick off with a private fundraiser featuring a charitable auction benefiting Joshua House, a foster home to which Beats Give Back has donated funds and music equipment. Then, just like Sheltair Aviation's planes, the party will accelerate over in the hangar, where ChaseWest will again throw down a headlining DJ set. He'll be joined by ascendant house music star Beltran, who was recently revealed on Coachella's 2025 lineup.
In the meantime, you can donate to Beats Give Back here.

Apple Halts Vision Pro Production Amid Pricing Challenges

Apple’s foray into virtual reality with the Vision Pro promised a revolutionary leap forward in immersive technology. Combining sleek design with cutting-edge capabilities, the Vision Pro captured headlines as the next big thing in tech. But less than a year after its highly anticipated launch, Apple has officially ceased production of the high-end headset. The abrupt halt underscores a tough lesson: even the most innovative products can stumble when they miss the mark on market dynamics.
A Price Tag Too Steep for Most
When the Vision Pro debuted, it made waves with an initial sales surge of 200,000 units. However, excitement soon gave way to sticker shock. With a starting price of $3,500 in the U.S. and $3,999 in Europe, the Vision Pro was anything but budget-friendly. Many consumers balked at spending more on a VR headset than a top-tier MacBook.
Tim Cook admitted that the Vision Pro was never intended for the mass market, targeting tech-savvy enthusiasts and professionals instead. Still, the steep pricing proved to be a formidable barrier, with many consumers opting to forego the luxury VR experience for more affordable options. It became increasingly clear that the Vision Pro’s niche audience wasn’t large enough to sustain its ambitious rollout.
Competition and Overproduction
Technological superiority wasn’t enough to save the Vision Pro from market realities. While it boasted unmatched visuals and immersive interactivity, it couldn’t compete with the affordability of alternatives like Meta’s Quest 3, priced at just $329. Consumers seeking a cost-effective way to explore VR gravitated toward these less expensive headsets.
Reports revealed Apple was left with an inventory of 500,000 to 600,000 unsold Vision Pro units. Facing underwhelming demand and fierce competition, Apple made the difficult choice to halt production. The headset’s fate highlights a growing challenge for tech giants: balancing premium innovation with the consumer demand for affordability.
The Future: A More Accessible Vision
Despite this setback, Apple isn’t abandoning the VR space. Tim Cook confirmed that a more affordable version of the Vision Pro is already in development. Early speculation suggests the new model could be priced around $2,300—still premium but significantly lower than the original. This pivot reflects Apple’s intent to broaden its reach in the VR market while maintaining its hallmark quality.
The Vision Pro was marketed as more than just a VR device, with the potential to replace traditional laptops and serve as a tool for creative professionals. However, the premium positioning clashed with the priorities of an increasingly price-sensitive audience. As Apple works to strike a balance between innovation and accessibility, the Vision Pro’s legacy could pave the way for more inclusive VR experiences.

UKF15- Our First Dubstep Upload

Yesterday we reminisced over our first ever drum and bass upload. Today we’re looking back on our the first upload on our Dubstep YouTube channel- Black Sun Empire’s ‘Hyper Sun’.
As we continue to gear up for the grand finale of our UKF15 celebrations, a sold-out show at the mighty Drumsheds on December 13 – we want to catch up with Black Sun Empire. We reflect on what “that blue logo” means to fans, talk about what UKF means to them and, of course, their favourite-ever UKF upload.
Your track ‘Hyper Sun’ was our first ever dubstep upload 14 years ago, what have been some of the highlights of your musical journey since then?
Well we have moved house a million times since then, but now we finally bought our own place with three studios in there! That was a big change. We played so many incredible festivals and clubs. Not to mention some strange webcam spots during the pandemic, don’t ask. 
A highlight was working with several vocalists like Foreign Beggars, Virus Syndicate, Amatorski, Thomas Oliver, Youthstar, PNC. Hearing crowds sing and shout the words to some well-known tunes is a great feeling. Watching our label and events BLACKOUT MUSIC grow and see the artists on it grow with it is incredibly rewarding too!
How has the dance music scene changed in the last 15 years?
It hasn’t. I guess tracks are now a bit shorter because everyone is used to quicker switches, but that is about it. Genres come and go, come back, evolve.
What does UKF represent to you?
I think for a lot of people seeing that blue logo pop up in your feed meant you got to hear the best new music in the world! So many exciting memories about the stuff that came out first on there, goosebumps.
What’s your favourite upload from the UKF Dubstep YouTube channel
Sorry can’t do one!
We’re going to go for a Bar9 track first, because they had such a groove. I remember we always tried to do something similar but failed. It sounds so easy but it isn’t. And somehow the sounds they choose, when you played it out, it was just like everything exploded. Too many to choose from, so gonna go with ‘Piano Tune Vip’, but could have been anything by them really.
Flux Pavilion – ‘Bass Cannon’. Could have chosen any of his classics. None of his tunes need more awareness as they are such hits, but they do really define the genre. Somehow it’s a bridge between early UK sounds and the sound that became so huge in the States and worldwide. The first time we heard some of these played out it was that feeling of WTF is this?!
Skrillex, PEEKABOO, Flowdan, G-Rex – ‘Badders’. Flowdan is the man of the hour of course. His work with Skrillex is just so sick. All these guys have done an incredible job. So dark, so simple, so good…love it! I was going to pick something by Hamdi, the other man of the hour it would seem. It’s great how all these sounds never really went away.

New Book Celebrates Aphex Twin's Iconic Career With Rare Images

Few artists have bent the rules of sound and creative identity quite like Aphex Twin. Now, a new book invites fans to peel back the layers of the legendary electronic music producer's enigmatic genius, offering a plethora of rare photos, behind-the-scenes stories and essays that illuminate the man behind the myth.
With Aphex Twin - A Disco Pogo Tribute, the boundary-breaking producer steps out of the shadows and into a lovingly crafted written and visual celebration of his influential career.
From the depths of his mysterious Cornwall roots to the heights of a creative empire, the book is a 274-page journey through the career of one of electronic music's most pioneering and elusive figures. Edited by Disco Pogo's Jim Butler, the hardback tribute includes exclusive interviews, essays and rare images of Aphex Twin, whose real name is Richard David James.

Bro Safari Announces First Set In 5 Years

For the first time in five years, fans will soon experience a Bro Safari set in a homecoming that feels as much a celebration of resilience as it does a musical revival. 
The influential bass music producer will perform during the early show of Tape B's Brooklyn Mirage takeover June 7th, 2025, marking a pivotal moment for a career once thought to be indefinitely on hold.
View the original article to see embedded media.
A trailblazing fusion of trap, dubstep and moombahton, Bro Safari’s music has always lived at the edge of genre. But his return to the stage after half a decade resonates far beyond his production prowess. It's the story of an artist who weathered storms of burnout, substance abuse and self-doubt—and found his way back to the joy of creation.
His set, which will feature longtime collaborator Armanni Reign, will undoubtedly reflect the same kinetic energy that once propelled him to the forefront of electronic music, but it will also carry the gravity of an artist who has rebuilt his foundation brick by brick.
In a candid Instagram post, Bro Safari recently reflected on the road that brought him here. "I disappeared for a few years. I didn’t know if I’d ever play shows again," he admitted.
But over time, his perspective shifted. "I realized that I missed it—not just playing shows, but I missed the journey. I missed being able to meet new people, mingle with like-minded individuals, and share my musical perspective."
His comeback follows years of introspection and evolution. Back in 2022, he opened up about the personal toll of life on the road, detailing how therapy helped him navigate the darkness that led him to retreat from his Bro Safari persona.
The Brooklyn Mirage show is just one chapter in what promises to be an exciting new era for Bro Safari. Sharing the stage with Tape B for this showcase is emblematic of his enduring ties to the bass music community—a network of peers and fans who’ve supported his return with open arms. 
Fans can sign up for presale access to the upcoming Brooklyn Mirage show here.
