6AM Miami Music Week Guide 2023
Just a year ago, Miami Music Week graced March in 2022. Now, one of the largest week-long music festivals is coming back to sunny Miami for 2023. Miami Music Week 2023 will be taking place from March 21 to March 26. The week-long festival will feature a jam-packed schedule of club events, pool parties, hotel parties and so much more. Here is a running list of the massive events and performances you can expect during Miami Music Week.
Living a Life of Vibrancy With Lee Ann Roberts
In Lee Ann Robertsâ hands, even the hardest techno can have subtlety and soul. The Amsterdam-based, South African-born artist has become a prominent force in the global techno scene thanks to her fierce determination and vibrant creative touch. She leads with her own NowNow label â a self-reliant platform that nods to the South African colloquialism meaning “soon”, which means a call to surrender to the moment, and follow where the music takes you. Itâs a mantra sheâs lived by as her career has sharply risen â from debuting on Spanish label Suara with “Miyamoto” and instantly scoring number two on Beatportâs Hard Techno chart.
Sheâs simultaneously been growing NowNow with her own productions and dropping alongside remixes from verified legends like D.A.V.E. The Drummer, Jay Clarke, and Dense & Pika. The vitality in Robertsâ sound undoubtedly comes from her broad outlook, inspired as much by the revolutionary misfits of rock as the visionary pioneers of electronic music. Her attraction to unusual and distinctive qualities in the music she makes and plays all add up to one of the most exciting forces in contemporary techno.
New Year, New Outlook, and New Energy With Julien Earle
Based in America, Julien Earle is known for being a YouTube content creator who makes videos that share production tips and tricks with aspiring music creators. Showcasing his talents in the studio, Julien Earle’s style is mainly orientated around Techno, but he takes influence from other electronic music genres as well. Now, Julien is back on his record label REFLECTION with a brand-new peak time Techno release, the same Techno style that has also been released on other imprints including UMEK‘s 1605, Spektre‘s Respekt, Pleasurekraft‘s Kraftek, and Ramon Tapia‘s Say What?, as well as earning him collaborative projects alongside The YellowHeads and Beico. Julien’s recent peak-time project features two versions of Close Your Eyes, both produced by himself, as well as an extended mix with fast and furious grooves of electrifying synths and thundering percussion. From pulsating energy, flickering acid soundscapes, stabbing melodies, and throbbing basslines, Close Your Eyes is a ride full of enthralling energy â a rollercoaster ride of elements that Julien intends to carry into 2023.
Techno Nirvana: Your Top Tracks and Guide for Yoga and Techno
Yoga and techno â an unexpected duo that can you give the best of both worlds: dance and inner peace. By definition, yoga is a Hindu theistic system of physical postures, breathing techniques, as well as meditation â and, from the teachings of Buddha, the discipline of yoga can lead to spiritual freedom â spiritual freedom that we know as âNirvanaâ. Ironically, within the scene of techno, rave culture, clubbing culture, and so on forth, Nirvana is not an unknown concept on the dancefloor â in fact, within these various realms of dance and freedom, Nirvana is physically experienced through psychedelics, shrooms, MDMA, alcohol, and various unhealthy practices.
So, all this to say, is that techno and yoga do make sense ironically â however; on this search for Nirvana, weâre not going to partake in a culture of pill-popping and pre-gaming, but rather a healthier way of achieving Nirvana.
