Miami
Featured Event:
Friday 12/7
Richie Hawtin @ LIV | Purchase Tickets
Richie Hawtin was recently ranked #2 behind Seth Troxler in this year’s Resident Advisor Top DJs of 2012 poll. This weekend Miami is lucky enough to have them both performing at LIV and Mansion, respectively. Its a rarity to see a techno performer play at LIV, a club that is known for bringing in some of the most popular progressive dance music talent. Richie Hawtin will be one of the few techno DJs to play at the premiere club since Luciano played there back in September. Is techno officially becoming cool? We hope everyone catches on to this just for the sake of experiencing great music. For all you down in Miami for Art Basel, be sure to catch Hawtin at LIV on Friday and Pete Tong, Damian Lazarus, and Resident Advisor’s newly crowned #1 DJ, Seth Troxler at Mansion on Sunday.

Joachim Garraud, Tritonal @ Marquee | Purchase Tickets
One of David Guetta and the SHM crew’s earliest collaborators, Joachim Garraud, will be kicking off the weekend at Marquee in Las Vegas. Though his contemporaries’ level of superstardom have yet to find its way to Mr. Garraud, we have no doubt that he will bring the same degree of energy to his set. Having the Tritonal boys on the bill certainly doesn’t hurt, either.
