\"\"
Our first stop on Day 2 of our Miami Music Week<\/em> visit was to Liquor Lounge<\/em> located on Collins Avenue in South Beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When we heard that there would be an all female DJ lineup and that the Geishaz<\/em> would be playing, we knew we had to go!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The event had been going since Noon but we arrived around 5PM and walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Eva (USA) in the booth when we arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Los Angeles-based DJ was playing mostly Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She had the dance floor bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Big crowd too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance singer Jamie Blue (USA) sang us a number.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Liquor Lounge<\/em> has not just one but two shiny disco balls so you know they’re legit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Miss Blue (F) would take over next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Rennes-based DJ’s set was more on the Electro side of Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor stayed jammed during her turn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Geishaz on duty!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into numerous peeps we know from the American electronic music scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Thank you everyone for your poses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ LadyJ Spinz (USA) took over next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She would deliver a mostly Drum & Bass set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
At Liquor Lounge<\/em>, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Up the road just a block, the Sagamore Hotel <\/em>and the next night of the DJMag<\/em> pool parties was next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arriving around 7:30PM, we caught the tail-end of a b2b set by DJ Prunk (NL) in the foreground and DJ Luuk van Dijk (NL) in the background.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Luuk was the more animated of the two for their House set, lol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even though it was early, the pool deck was already absolutely packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
On Thursday night they had 7 decks lined-up; last night it was 8.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJMag <\/em>had a shiny disco ball hanging above so you know they’re legit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Around 8PM, DJ Hot Since 82 (GB) took over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would continue with a mostly House set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And it somehow got even more packed down there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
During Miami Music Week <\/em>nearly every South Beach hotel has pool parties going on and nearly every DJ from all over the world is playing somewhere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
At the DJMag<\/em> party at the Sagamore<\/em>, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With Friday night rush hour now over, we headed to beautiful downtown Fort Lauderdale and megaclub Kemistry<\/em> for our next party, “The Get Down”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But first we had to try to talk our way past these two bouncer types.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They had two rooms of music last night beginning with this covered patio area near the entrance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
In the outdoor booth, a tag team set from Orlando DJ’s JROK (USA) and Spark-D (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This would be a night of mostly Breaks both outdoors and inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While the outside had fresh air, the inside had air conditioning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The show had begun at 8PM so our arrival around 10PM meant we missed the first couple sets. DJ J-Break (USA) was on when we arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time seeing him since “The Get Down” in March, 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Mostly Breaks, of course.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There are 3 bars in Kemistry<\/em> including this ground floor location in the main room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Up next in the main room, the Brothers of Funk (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Made up of DJ Storm (USA) and DJ Johnny Dangerously (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Their set more on the Electro breaks side of the genre.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Crowd beginning to build.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And they had those here early bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Those youngsters probably had no idea what they had gotten themselves into.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Near 11PM, DJ Destroyers (E).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time ever seeing him play.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A lot of side commentary overheard about how good this Cadiz-based Breaks set was!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor still had capacity though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But those already here were bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Up above in the loge area, another bar was available.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Stepping back outside, the patio had gotten really crowded.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For a b2b set from DJ Robotic (USA) and DJ BBoy Roy (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Always great to see these two south Florida DJ’s playing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And they absolutely jammed the dance floor!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was a relatively small area compared to inside but there were people standing or dancing in every nook!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Before midnight another duo took over outside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Bobby Buzz (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And DJ James Wolfe (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Heather had it going on!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor so crowded it was difficult to move about the place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Inside, another Spaniard, DJ Yo Speed (E\/GB).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While you can hear Breakbeats at times nearly anywhere, Florida, Great Britain and Spain remain the strongholds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Inside dance floor was finally gaining popularity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But just a few were brave enough to make it up to the barrier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Kemistry<\/em> has a shiny disco ball so you know they’re legit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into so many peeps from the electronic music scene. Some were new but most we knew.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Go Go dancer Kriss Reign (USA). They say you can never go wrong with Go Go girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Well damn, they <\/em>were right!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Inside dance floor now jammed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Packed to the rafters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Icey had the dance floor bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back outside for another tag team set, this time from DJ duo Kuad Soundsystem (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Around 1:30AM, DJ Soltek (USA) taking over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Together deliver an amazing set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main room dance floor was still busy too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time seeing NYC-based DJ Jubilee (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A rare appearance from the reclusive duo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
