The After Party: Event Recaps
PNK Records Party at ZeyZey Miami Music Week 2025
Miami Music Week 2025 wrapped with a statement as PNK Records took over ZeyZey for their Pink Party, delivering a finale that met—and exceeded—the city’s high expectations.
After their buzzed-about Art Basel debut at Tomorrowland, all eyes were on PNK Records to see how they’d follow it up—and they didn’t disappoint. Taking on a larger venue and an even bigger crowd, the collective proved they could hold the spotlight without losing the community feel that’s become their signature.
The lineup was stacked with talent: Alves, MÉSSOUS b2b Justin Rabin, Dan Molinari b2b SLAMM, Roddy Lima, and Classmatic brought serious heat to the decks, each set keeping momentum high and the crowd fully engaged.
And while much of Miami was dealing with rain and rising water, ZeyZey was overflowing in a different way. As showers rolled through and the city flooded, the party didn’t miss a beat—fans flooded into the venue’s indoor room, where the music kept going strong, and the energy never dipped.
Wearing pink wasn’t mandatory, but it might as well have been. From hats and shirts to stickers and details, the crowd turned ZeyZey into a sea of pink, an unspoken dress code that reflected the loyalty and love this community has for the label.
More than just another MMW event, the Pink Party was a full-circle moment for PNK Records—a celebration of how far they’ve come, and a preview of where they’re headed next. Rain or shine, the people showed up, the music delivered, and the culture carried the night.

Set against the backdrop of Historic Virginia Key Beach Park, this two-day celebration isn’t just another festival—it’s a uniquely Miami experience. With the sand beneath your feet, the skyline in the distance, and the music making waves across the water, We Belong Here proves why the Magic City continues to be a global music destination.

Bon Entendeur Live at Zey Zey Miami
Miami is a city built on culture—a melting pot of sounds, influences, and communities that come together to create something entirely its own.

Folamour & Tiffy Vera
It all begins with an idea.
On a warm night in the heart of Little River, ZeyZey Miami came alive as fans packed the sold-out venue for a headlining set by French DJ and producer Folamour.

His outdoor set moved effortlessly between upbeat rhythms and unexpected deep cuts, perfectly matched with ZeyZey’s open-air layout and the relaxed Miami breeze.
Inside, the energy shifted as Tiffy Vera took over the disco room with a moody, late-night set of deep house and techno. Originally from Paraguay, Tiffy’s focused style and stage presence offered a grounded contrast to the open-air celebration happening just outside.

Poplife 25th Anniversary
For 25 years, POPLIFE has been at the heart of Miami’s nightlife, shaping the city’s underground music scene and giving emerging artists and DJs a platform. What started as a small, forward-thinking party in the late ‘90s grew into a cultural movement, bringing indie, electronic, and alternative sounds to a city known for its mainstream club culture. From warehouse parties to iconic venues like Grand Central, POPLIFE has always been ahead of the curve, blending music, art, and fashion to create unforgettable experiences.
POPLIFE brought in two legendary DJs: Diplo and Felix da Housecat to celebrate this milestone. Diplo, known for his genre-bending sets and infectious energy, has shaped modern electronic music with projects like Major Lazer and collaborations with global superstars. A Chicago house icon, Felix da Housecat helped define the electroclash movement with his bold, futuristic beats. Both artists reflect the essence of Poplife—boundary-pushing, unpredictable, and always a good time.
This anniversary event is more than just a party. It is a tribute to POPLIFE’s legacy and influence on Miami’s music scene. It is for those who grew up dancing at their events, as well as newcomers.
Sounds Of Tides Vol 1
Joia Beach, a renowned restaurant and beach club in Miami, recently unveiled its new monthly event series, "Sounds of Tides," on January 25, 2025. This inaugural celebration seamlessly blended the natural beauty of the oceanfront with vibrant musical performances, creating an unforgettable experience for attendees.
Guests were treated to a dynamic atmosphere featuring live DJs, a captivating sunset drum performance, and the mesmerizing backdrop of Miami's ocean waves. The event offered a sensory journey harmonizing music with the serene coastal environment, allowing attendees to dance and revel under the stars.
Night Shift At Macondo
Night Shift flipped the script on Miami nightlife by turning Macondo Coffee Roasters in Downtown into a full-on dance floor. Led by Parkline—the DJ duo of Chad Blumenthal and Brandon Jacques—this pop-up party was about more than just music. It was a break from the usual club routine, proving that the right energy doesn’t need a velvet rope or bottle service—it just needs the right people, sound, and space.
Macondo, known for its cozy daytime atmosphere and strong coffee game, became the perfect setting once the lights dimmed and the music started. Parkline, joined by Miguel Gallardo and Chuck, delivered a night of jazzy, minimal tech-house and Afro-house, creating a smooth, energetic flow that matched the unexpected venue.
This event marked the debut of what Parkline hopes will become a monthly series, bringing electronic music into non-traditional spaces across the city. It made sense that they started with Macondo—both DJs are regulars, and the owner just so happens to be a house music fan himself.
Night Shift is about keeping things simple: good music, good people, and unexpected settings that invite you to stay a little longer. And if the launch party at Macondo is any sign of what’s ahead, Miami’s nightlife is about to get a lot more interesting—one coffee shop at a time.
Art Week 2024 - PNK Party At Tomorrowland
Art Basel Miami brings a flood of events, exclusive parties, and international crowds, but this year, PNK Records managed to stand out in a way few local collectives have. Amid the overwhelming number of competing Art Week events, it was almost unbelievable how strong the turnout was. This wasn’t just a lucky break—it was proof that Pink Records is building something Miami hasn’t seen before.
The newly reopened Tomorrowland Miami provided the perfect venue for the night. Once a pop-up, this space has now become a permanent part of Miami, blending nostalgia, underground energy, and a fresh, modern edge. Normally a cocktail bar with a sleek, Amsterdam-inspired aesthetic, Tomorrowland transformed into an all-day party, shifting effortlessly from laid-back lounge vibes to a full-blown dancefloor experience.
Conveniently located just a few blocks from Space Miami, the venue became the go-to spot for those bouncing between back-to-back Art Week events, whether guests were kicking off their night or keeping the momentum going after an early morning.
The lineup delivered nonstop energy, but ALVES B2B Justin Rabin was easily the highlight of the night. Their set kept the dance floor packed, with a seamless mix of deep grooves and high-energy moments that had the crowd moving from start to finish. Their ability to cultivate such a loyal fanbase and bring people together for something outside the usual Art Basel circuit speaks volumes. It’s clear that PNK Records isn’t just throwing parties—they’re shaping Miami’s underground dance culture in a way that feels fresh, authentic, and necessary.
Huge thanks to PNK Records and Tomorrowland Miami for putting together an event that cut through the noise of Art Week and set a new standard for what’s possible in Miami’s music scene. If this is what they’re capable of now, we can’t wait to see what’s next.
Chus At Mode
Chus took over MODE Miami for a night that blended decades of experience with the intimate energy only this venue can offer. With Gabe Katz on direct support, the night gradually built into a set full of organic house, tribal rhythms, and soulful grooves—the kind of layered sound Chus has perfected over his career.
As the creator of the Iberican Sound and founder of Stereo Productions and Redolent Music, Chus brought his signature style to life inside MODE’s underground setting—formerly a Cold War fallout shelter and now one of Miami’s most immersive spaces.
Backed by the venue’s high-fidelity L-Acoustics sound system, each track landed with warmth and precision, creating a deep connection between artist and audience.
From global stages to Miami’s underground, Chus continues to evolve while staying true to the roots of house music. This set proved why his name still carries so much weight—and why MODE is the perfect place to experience it.
