| My original Miami strategy for this year was to fly-in, use public transportation by staying at a hotel near a Metrorail station and then have all planned events on the Miami side of the bay. That strategy fell apart when I received an invitation from SiriusXM to their Music Lounge event out on Miami Beach! |
 |
Taking place behind the 1Hotel complex on Mid Beach, I knew it would be too good to pass up! And I was not disappointed!  |
 |
| Followed by Deorro (USA). |
 |
| Including his hit with Chris Brown, a short version of "Five More Hours". |
 |
| Open for invited SiriusXM subscribers only, the beach quickly filled! |
 |
| Up next, DJ Alan Walker (N). |
 |
| First time ever seeing him and he'd play hits "Faded" & "Alone". |
 |
| There were no posted set times and I quickly realized there would be 30-minutes sets from a lot of big names and you wouldn't know who would be coming up next until they came up! |
 |
| Like Steve Aoki (USA)! |
 |
| I had paid $30 to see him at House of Blues last fall and here he was for free! |
 |
| The peeps getting into his EDM & Trap set! |
 |
| This fast-paced format was so cool and I really liked it since there was no time to get bored! |
 |
| And OMG, there was Paavo & Jono dba Above & Beyond (GB)! |
 |
| Their Trance set included recent hits "We're All We Need" and as OceanLab, "Another Chance". |
 |
| That look you get from Trance! |
 |
| Brief appearance from DJ 3LAU (USA) introducing..... |
 |
| DJ Hardwell (NL). |
 |
| Enjoyable all EDM set from the current #3 DJ in the world! |
 |
| Spotted in the blue jacket: DJ David Guetta (F). |
 |
| Spotted in VIP: Some Receiver from the New England Patriots. His name escapes me but I hear he can catch pretty good, lol! |
 |
| Spotted passing by: Current #1 DJ in the world, Martin Garrix (NL). |
 |
| And the ever mysterious DJ Marshmello (USA). |
 |
| Spotted on the boardwalk: DJ duo Ned Sheppard & Sultan (CDN). |
 |
| And DJ Laidback Luke (NL). |
 |
| Back on stage, DJ Grandtheft (CDN). |
 |
| His final song included live vocals from Dance singer Delaney Jane (CDN) on their hit "Easy Go". |
 |
| Laidback Luke (NL) up next. |
 |
| His set edged between House & EDM. |
 |
| Since you had to be invited here, it never got super-crowded. Drinks were Miami Music Week festival priced though around $20 each but were liberally poured! |
 |
| SiriusXM's morning DJ Geronimo on the stage introducing..... |
 |
| Marshmello (USA). His identity always stays hidden! |
 |
| When I was in Montreal in January he played three nights in a row at the huge New City Gas club and each show was completely sold out! |
 |
| Delivering his hit "Alone" to the excited crowd! Fun stuff! |
 | |
A-Trak (CDN) was up next. As I just saw him last month at Gilt and did not like his set, this was a good opportunity to throw-in the towel and call it quits! Spotted coming in as I was going out: DJ duo Chocolate Puma (NL). |
 |
| What a great event! A good time was had by all! |
