I landed in Miami and headed straight to the DJ Mag pool party at the Shelborne where I caught up with A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs (they run Fools Gold, the biggest little record label in the world), Armand van Helden (the other half of Duck Sauce), James Zebiela and Dennis Ferrer. Fast forward three hours, and we're doing shots of Don Julio with Luciano at the bar (guess he wanted to check out the spot before his...

Just in time for the warm weather, we compile the best sun-drenched tunes since 1991, in Bigger Than the Sound.

Think back to every awesome/romantic/borderline-insane thing you've ever done during the summer. Chances are, there was music playing when you did it. And it was probably playing very, very loudly.
That's because, perhaps more than any other time of the year, summer is practically made for music. It's when we pump up, strip down, make terrible decisions and basically have the times of our lives. And, somewhat fittingly, music is always there with us. It's the soundtrack to our every hookup, breakdown and tanning mishap. It's what's in the air at the beach, the time-share or the club (well, either that or Axe body spray). It's part of our memories, along with that terrible tattoo you got down in Panama City.

'She definitely saved her top performances for the end,' one friend tells MTV News.

It's been a rough couple of weeks for Elliston, Ohio's Crystal Bowersox, who appeared to be losing her season-long lead on "American Idol" as this year's slow-and-steady dark horse, Lee DeWyze, crept up into contention for the title.
But on Tuesday night, Bowersox saved the best for last, pulling off three solid, if not exceptional, performances, as DeWyze, gripped by nerves, appeared to squander his underdog status at the worst time. For friends and supporters of Bowersox, her knockout takes on "Black Velvet" and "Up to the Mountain" were proof positive that the dreadlocked single mom from the hard-hit Northern Ohio town might win this thing.
"I'm pretty confident," said Tim Stahl, owner of the gritty Toledo, Ohio, bar Papa's Tavern, where Bowersox, 24, got her start as a regular performer...

We arrived in Toledo, Ohio on Tuesday afternoon eager to meet and greet the people who knew Crystal Bowersox before she became a leading contender on America's top reality singing show. These are the folks who saw a 12-year-old girl get up on stage at a bar during a set break and blow the roof off the joint. They were dumbfounded when she sang original songs at 13 and professed her confidence at 16 that she'd be a star someday. They knew she'd be a star way before the rest of the country discovered her on "American Idol."
Our first stop was Papa's Tavern, an 70-year-old saloon across the Maumee River from downtown Toledo smack dab in the middle of a working class neighborhood. I've never had a neighborhood bar, but if I did, this place is what I imagine it would be like. Everyone greeted us like old friends as we walked in.

After a triumphant year of mainstream success, French producer David Guetta exclaimed to MTV News, "Dance music is the next thing for the next 10 years. There's nothing you can do about it." This sentiment rings true when you consider the success of crossover and mainstream artists like Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas and Lmfao. And while many are already familiar with the body-moving genre, the mass population has only just gotten their first taste of dance music. In the effort to educate and preach to the unaware masses, filmmaker Stephen Alex Vasquez has set out to show the world the extensive livelihood of dance music in his documentary "The Electro Wars."
Vasquez's new film crosses borders and covers numerous genres of music. He brings his audience into the worlds of hip-hop, reggaeton and Latin dance to explain their influence and relationship with the modern dance music movement.
