| Club Space is Florida's most-famous dance club and it was the starting-place of my crazy Saturday of Miami Music Week which began with an 8AM arrival. |
 |
| If you've never been, the lobby looks like a Tokyo Metro station. But I was here for the Dirtybird Players party. |
 |
| Up to the Terrace. The Dirtybird party had been running since 10PM the night before so at 8AM you might expect just a few hardy stragglers remaining, right? |
 |
| LOL no, at 8AM it was fuckin' packed! |
 |
| Representing DJ duo Walker & Royce (USA) on the left and DJ Justin Martin (USA) on the right! Word ft. VNSSA. |
 |
| Playing House music Dirtybird style! |
 |
| And no one was leaving just yet! |
 |
| 9AM and gin & tonic number two was going down smoothly! |
 |
| Both these guys recently played Elixir Bar in Orlando; DJ Matthias Tanzmann (D) and DJ Joeski (USA). |
 |
House music all night day long! |
 |
| Orlando was represented! |
 |
| Amelia was running at full-throttle! |
 |
| As was Daniella! |
 |
| Orlando & Tampa! |
 |
| I had hoped to see Green Velvet (USA) but he ironically finished at 8AM right before I came in. |
 |
| The spray-down fog was some powerful stuff! |
 |
| You can never go wrong with Go Go girls. |
 |
| Like I said! |
 |
| Orlando!!!! |
 |
| Up next, DJ Eli Brown (GB) vs Mason Leonard (USA). |
 |
| Dance wherever you could! |
 |
| Survival of the fittest! |
 |
| Nice! |
 |
| First time seeing either of these two. |
The energy being expended was amazing!
 |
| Although by afternoon things began to thin-out. |
 |
| Doorly plays at Celine in Orlando on April 5th with FREE tickets available here! |
 |
| And I needed to move on too. |
 |
| There are Metromover stations throughout downtown Miami including this one just a block from Club Space. Rides are free and I took one to my next party. |
 |
| Next stop the W Hotel where they happen to have a swimming pool and club up on the 50th floor! |
 |
| Arrived to find DJ Felva (USA) in the booth opening the show. |
 |
| Felva is based here in Miami. |
 |
| At this early hour, just a few people had arrived. |
 |
| Only one girl dancing at this juncture. |
 |
| Those that hadn't arrived yet missed a great House/EDM set. |
 |
| From this rooftop vantage, one could see Virginia Key and Ultra Music Festival. |
 |
| Used to be able to see the cruise ships over at Port Miami from this window but this even taller building to the left now blocks that. |
 |
| Fast-paced one-hour sets kept things moving. DJ Zookeper (USA) up next. |
 |
| Activity was picking up! |
 |
| And things were looking better. |
 |
| Another good set from this L.A.-based DJ. |
 |
| DJ duo Brklyn (USA) are also based in L.A. |
 |
| The dance platform was finally seeing some action! |
 |
| As was the pool. |
 |
| They had everyone bouncing! |
 |
| Another great set on this Saturday afternoon! |
 |
| One of my favorites up next! DJ Dallas K (USA). |
 |
| Originally from Windermere, he graduated from West Orange High School before making it big! |
 |
| By now the venue had gotten packed! |
 |
| It was a fine-looking crowd too! |
 |
| Playing his biggest hit, a collaboration with Adventure Club (CDN), Crash 2.0. |
 |
| After 9 straight hours of clubbing, it was time for a mandatory rest stop to get some food! |
 |
| Before coming back out to Barrio's Lounge in South Beach for Breaks Yo! |
 |
| Arrived to see the final five minutes of a tag team set from Dozier vs Skitch (USA). |
 |
| Not a lot of action on the dance floor just yet. |
 |
| First time seeing this up-and-coming Dirtybird artist E.R.N.E.S.T.O. (USA). |
 |
| People started to come over from the main room towards the booth. |
 |
| His set was mostly Breaks but you could definitely sense that Dirtybird House sound to some of his songs! |
 |
| We got a 30 minute Bass set from DJ Brazen (USA). |
 |
| Before the reason everyone was here came on, DJ Icey (USA). |
 |
| And all of a sudden the dance floor got full! |
 |
| Spotted on the dance floor: Belinda & SarahV |
 |
| Spotted by the booth: Keith with DJ Rich D (USA) who had played earlier. |
 |
| Spotted in the booth: DJ Keith MacKenzie (USA) who would be playing at 2AM. |
 |
| Spotted in the main room: DJ Medley (USA) & Miami's-own Johnny Gamez. |
 |
| Spotted on the dance floor: Break-a-Dawn |
 |
| Spotted on the dance floor: Blog-favorite CJ |
 |
| Icey had the largest crowd of the night on the floor. |
 |
| Lots of classic sounds in there! |
 |
| We had just seen the Freestylers (GB) last weekend at Bar B in Orlando. |
 |
| It's always a treat to hear him play! |
 |
| Sadly, my 1:35PM American Airlines flight back to Orlando was on a MAX8 so they switched my res to 7:30AM which meant I couldn't stick around any longer. What a crazy day! Everywhere I went though, a good time was had by all. |
