Miami Music Week remains a fixed point on the electronic calendar, but the city does not go quiet when it ends. Beatportal describes a circuit that keeps moving through the year, with Art Basel, Formula 1 weekend and III Points bringing their own activity while clubs keep programming in between.
DJ Mag’s coverage of the new Miami underground points to the independent parties incubating the next generation, often run by small crews and shaped by Latin and Caribbean influences.
Following that scene means watching different signals: local line-ups, smaller rooms, resident DJs and the labels releasing music between festival seasons.
For a label based in the city, that is where the connection lives: in the weeks between the big weekends, not only during them.
