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.
