Happy Birthday Electric Pickle

kryobot — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:00:39 +0000

Last Friday the Electric Pickle celebrated one year of quality underground electronic music. Since its opening, the pickle has been much appreciated by locals for its no-frills, non exclusive air. Which can be a rare occurrence in south beach night life. On the bill were some of the most current electronic artists without the huge line of people outside that will never get in. Featured, were live jams from Filthy Dukes, Body Language live, Systematic label head Marc Romboy, Metro Area, Jeremy Greenspan, Captain ridiculous and lots more. A night to remember. Cheers to you, Electric pickle, and keep up the non-pretentiousness, we love you for it.

Ultra

kryobot — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:50:11 +0000

Only 31 days,1 hour, 18 minutes… Until Ultra Music Festival kicks off

Let the line up rumors begin!

Despite Ultra Music Fest 2010 still being a month away, hotel rooms are starting to get totally booked and ticket prices are shooting up. Even though the Cavalia tent still has its steak in Bicentennial Park (for now) start dusting off your glowsticks and rainbow bracelts for an ALL DAY rave with some of the best DJ’s in the world

Never been before?

Here are some pointers

1. Do NOT wear sandals. You are more likely to return home with a staph infection than those sandals you wore.

2. Bring a hat or sunscreen, and some sunglasses. This is Miami after all.

3. Bottled water at ultra will cost you what alcohol costs at a club. Bring your own if possible.

4. Bring cash. Yes there are ATMs, but you will regret it once you see how much the fee for using it was.

5. If you do decide you MUST get to the front, do so at the rick of being trampled… oh and good luck getting out.

Thats all for now, stay tuned.

Next up on Friday is Wine Spectator’s Best of the Best event hosted within the confines of the famous Fontainebleau Miami Beach. And they do not take the title of The Best lightly.

KryoKitchen Spotlight: Richard Blais

kryobot — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:12:09 +0000

Most of you may already be familiar with Richard Blais, from all those heated episodes of top chef, if not his profiles in The New Times, Food and Wine Magazine, and Sports Illustrated. He has made his mark through experimenting with traditional methods, but is most infamous for his off the wall, eccentric combinations. Ask him what staples he must have in his pantry, and his reply will be “duck fat, gellan gum, and liquid nitrogen.”

That’s exactly the kind of momentum KryoKitchen envisions the gastronomy industry gaining, and the demand is definitely growing. Richard’s product of choice form the KryoKitchen line? The KryoTube. “Liquid nitrogen allows you to freeze anything immediately” the chef has said, “We use it to chill stocks.” Not to mention his significant role in the menu with our friends at Flip Burger Boutique… Krispy Kreme liquid nitrogen milkshake anyone?

Despite his pushing and stretching the boundaries of what we traditionaly find tasty, its a risk that has propelled his career above and beyond ordinary, and ressurected restaurants that were near their last breaths.

Now Open: 4Sixty6

kryobot — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:33:03 +0000

I guess Jersey wasn’t gonna let New York steal the spotlight forever. Thanks to this massive, and stunning new club, new yorkers can expect a little less traffic on the weekends. 4Sixty6 just opened their doors and are offering the public a new ”friday night experience” and, by the looks of it, you won’t be dissapointed. Go check out their spankin new Kryojet liquid nitrogen effects system. When it starts getting hot on the dance floor, the automated jets go off and lower the temperature by as much as 20 degrees. Grab some sushi and cocktails with friends after work, and take it to the authentic Japanes nook. Or choose from the continental menu in the main dining room, and hey, if you’re just getting started, stay around for a raging party later on. Indulge, mingle, and lose yourself in one of their many ambiances: a sunken lounge, a piano bar, Miami style VIP cabanas just to get you started. Oh did I mention this club is huge?? Yeah, they have a 50ft disco ball. That’s right, you heard it here first, 4sixty6 has the biggest balls in the U.S. See for yourself:
