The besT parTies during MiaMi Music Miami has long been the ultimate spring break destination for party-goers from all over the world, and having now experienced the electric atmosphere and the legendary fun and games, it’s easy to see why. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling like some very magical memories were made during MMW 2016, so here are the best places to party should you be lucky enough to come in March 2017. Where & When: Pool party @SoBeCongress Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th March Why: Words could never quite do justice to the exceptional crowd and atmosphere experienced at the Congress. The staff are super friendly and genuinely just want you to have fun; so much so that I myself may have over-indulged a little myself on the delicious drinks… The music is contagious and the ocean view is simply stunning. If you head to Miami at any time, there are often pool parties going on at the Congress, and I can’t recommend visiting enough; you will not be disappointed, and will make some friends for life! Prepare yourself for some awesome music from Breakbeat to Hip-hop depending on the event. I had so much fun here I came back the next day with many of my new crew. If I could live here forever I totally would… Who: David of Lexani, DJ ICEY, DogEatDog records, @Djb_251, dancer @IsisOlmos, Simon Osborne. Where & When: Klingandes Playground Pool Party @DelanoSoBe, Friday 18th March Why: The Delano is an elegant venue with an extravagant, beautiful and friendly crowd. Expect 62
plenty of bottles to be poppin’ and some interesting people watching. I was lucky enough to quickly be adopted by Heine & Co. of Scandenavia’s biggest beach party, Palmesus, and had a fabulous day filled with laughter (and alcohol) and sampled some delicious Delano cocktails and shisha by Bazookah Bar. Who: DJ @JosefBamba, DiskoLab, Guy Gerber, Saggy of @AllorVaporizers, & Mike of BeachMonkey Where & when: @FiftyMiami Ultra lounge, Friday 18th March Why: This fabulous pool party was held to celebrate 25 years of Nervous Records. The panoramic views of the financial district below are quite breathtaking, and the crowd were a cool blend of anything goes. Who: Mike of ris, Carl Nervous, BoCraig, Roger Sanchez, Marcel Nothdurft As each event averages around a $40 entrance fee, it actually works out more cost effective to buy a pass for the week from https://miamimusicweek. com if you plan on attending events daily. I’m genuinely sad Miami Music Week is over, but the party never stops in Miami… See you next year!
