We just wrapped award-show season — so to prevent withdrawal, we asked some top DJs, representing diverse sounds, to nominate favorites within some creative categories. Add their picks to your playlists and hit up their next parties. We like them. We really, really like them.
MISS JADE :: Last year we named her among "Boston's Sexiest." Here's what gets her BPM racing. Catch her at Julep Bar on Thursday, March 21, and Nix's Mate on Saturday, March 23.
CROSSOVER HIT THAT HASN'T YET CROSSED OVER
Krewella "Alive" "Female dance-music duo with catchy vocals packaged in dubsteppy dance tracks. A triple threat: talented DJs, singers, and producers." BREAKOUT DEBUT
Icona Pop "Explosive. A mix of girly pop vocals, electro, and indie attitude that sounds so fresh and relevant."
MOST PERFECTLY PRODUCED POP HIT
Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin "Don't You Worry Child" "If a perfect pop hit is a track that can move you to tears, while [you're] jumping with hands in the air and screaming at the top of your lungs along to the now-immortal lyrics, then this is it."

- Review: Lorenz Island Kuisine
When I find a family-run place that seems to serve as an anchor for neighborhood life — serving three meals a day, doing a brisk takeout business, offering live music, DJs, and poetry readings a few nights a month — I think, "Damn, wish my neighborhood had a place like this."
