Twice per year internet radio station Nexus Radio<\/a><\/em> hosts one of their DJ interview lounges. One happens at the Amsterdam Dance Event<\/em> in Amsterdam and the other occurs here in Miami Beach during Miami Music Week<\/em>. Yesterday, we followed the signs into the Nexus Lounge<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are two main rooms at the Nexus Lounge<\/em>. This front room contains a credentials area, greeting area and this complimentary cocktail bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DJ interviews take place in the back room. During visits in prior years they would have 4 interview stations going-on but this year they had 5 operating simultaneously! It was intense! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In prior visits we’d try to ascertain DJ names for those we didn’t recognize. With 5 interview booths going simultaneously, it was just too crowded and intense yesterday to keep up! So these are just some of the DJ’s that passed through during our visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Philips N.V. (NL) was one of the merchant sponsors this year and had this cool display to check-out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Nexus Lounge<\/em> was bigger and better than ever this year and we greatly appreciate the invitation to observe. For the best in Electronic Dance Music, tune-in to Nexus Radio<\/em> here<\/a>. We cut-out a little early to try to beat the traffic but it still took 2 hours to get to our hotel out near the airport! If you’re going to any events this weekend and are traveling via car, take traffic into account because it’s horrendous. Not withstanding, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26862,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1899],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-reports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSCN0422-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-6Z3","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26849"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27190,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26849\/revisions\/27190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
