Ushuaïa Parties In Miami Music Week 2014

Ushuaïa showing of all it has to the Miami massive next week.

The Miami Music Week takes the dance music worlds focus from 21st til' the 30th March in Miami, Florida each year. One of the worlds leading conference and dance music festivals, with many parties, labels, artists and brands using it as a platform to launch their plans for the coming year.

Many Ibiza based entities will do the same, including Ushuaïa. They have plans to run five parties over the course of the week, showcasing all that Ushuaïa is about on Ibiza. The venue for these parties will be the SLS Hotel South Beach.


Wednesday 26th March | Luciano & Friends

Luciano has had a long relationship with Ushuaïa, hosting Cadenza label parties there and his own Luciano & Friends parties. Miami will experience the latter from 11am and features Luciano, Dyed Soundorom, Michel Cleis, Valentino Kanzyani, D'Julz and Daniel Sanchez.

Luciano heads up the Cadenza label and hosted parties on Tuesdays on Ibiza during the 2013 season, he is supported by one third of Apollonia in Parisian Dyed Soundorom, Swiss born Michel Cleis is a regular support for Luciano, next up is Valentino Kanzyani who hails from Slovenia and a firm supporter of the techno sound, whilst another Paris based artist with mountains of experience throughout his career comes next in D'Julz. Last up is a Dutch born artists with Spanish connections on Daniel Sanchez. A truly international lineup.


Thursday 27th March | Avicii

The next party in line brings a change in music direction with a nod towards a more mainstream sound. Avicii held the Sunday night residency at Ushuaïa last season and every Sunday was huge, absolutely massive. Again the party starts at 11am with Avicii, Arty, Cazzette, EDX, Rebecca & Fiona, Spencer & Brown and lastly Syn Cole.

The big artists here are of course Avicii and Arty. Avicii is hugely popular just about everywhere at the moment, certainly an artists who isn't afraid to challange the norm in EDM, he recently gave to the world country infused EDM... and we keep catching ourselves singing it. Arty is a Russian DJ and producer who dances on the line between trance, house and EDM depending on the environment.


Friday 28th March | Ants

Friday's party is another big one with an invasion of artists all day long, sourced straight from one of the coolest parties on Ibiza - Ants. This party holds the Saturday slot at Ushuaïa and continues to grow in size and popularity right across the board, from workers to residents. Playing on the day will be Joris Voorn b2b Nic Fanciulli, Maya Jane Coles, Andrea Oliva, Danny Daze, Robert Dietz, Stacey Pullen and Tapesh.

Obviously a huge lineup, the Voorn and Fanciulli back to back session always goes down a treat as they closed out Ushuaïa for the season last year. MJC is everthing proper 'underground' dance music artists should be, she is picky and choosey over how she is portrayed, you won't find her playing every party every week and she oozes talent behind the decks or in the studio. Andrea Oliva was always associated with Luciano and Cadenza but has featured heavily for Ants over many of their parties and makes a welcome return for the party. Daze, Dietz Pullen and Tapesh are all headliners in their own right, making this possibly the biggest lineup of all the Ushuaïa parties.


Saturday 29th March | Nervo

The dynamic duo called Nervo have spent their time switching between the Ushuaïa main stage and hosting their own party next door at Ushuaïa Tower, by their pool. The parties were of course a huge success, perhaps bigger than people expected. Joining Nervo in Miami will be Gareth Emery, Autoerotique, Chris Lake, D4ni3l, Hook 'n' Sling, Michael Brun, Oliver Heldens and more.

Nervo consist of two Australian chicks named Miriam and Olivia and their style and energy is well known on the island, you can certainly expect to hear more from them in the coming season, as well as in Miami of course. Gareth Emery, like Arty mentioned earlier, is another artists that switches between full on trance and EDM, situation depending. Autoerotique is an artists on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak record label so expect plenty of high energy electro, whilst Chris Lake has been in the house game for a long time now.


Sunday 30th March | Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike + Friends

The last party of Ushuaïa's Miami Music Week party schedule finishes with a party headed up by two artists who have been playing together for a long time and are having a big moment in their career at the moment. The lineup is Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Chuckie, Wolfpack and Yves V.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are the Greek/Belgian duo named Dimitri Thivaios and Michael Thivaios and are tre champions of the house and EDM scene, playing to massive crowds wherever they go. Their special guest is Dutch artist Chuckie, who in the past has help his own night at Pacha. Support comes from Wolfpack and Yves V.
