Electronic Music belongs to Miami

Miami is known for its beach culture. Most first-time visitors to Miami head straight to South Beach to see the gorgeous people working on their bodies. For a long time, Miami has been associated with electronic music.

The parties begin in Miami when the lights go out. This has been the catalyst for electronic music’s growth. At night, South Beach and Ocean Drive transform into club culture. Bars and clubs throughout Miami play a mix that includes house, salsa and jazz, as well as techno, late into the night.

Miami’s dance scene is setting new standards and influencing the rest of the world. The success of festivals like the Ultra Music Festival is proof of this. The legendary dance festival, now in its 11th anniversary, attracted over 55,000 revellers in 2008. In 2008, it won the coveted title of Best International Dance Event. The festival has hosted some of the most prominent names in dance music, such as Tiesto and Underworld, Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, and Carl Cox.

The closing event for Miami’s landmark electronic music conference, the Miami Winter Music Conference 2009, was the Ultra Music Festival. WMC, as it is known, is the place to go for all things electronic music. The WMC brings together the electronic music community for a series events that showcase what this genre of music has to give.

The city’s culture and the enthusiasm of music promoters and producers have made it a center for electronic music not only in North America, but around the globe.

Miami is a party destination that will offer great nights out for visitors. Before you venture into the Miami club scene, there are some things to remember. First, Miami nightlife can last until the early hours of the morning. They don’t usually get into full swing until after midnight so be ready for a long night. Second, dress appropriately for the occasion. Miami clubs are looking for well-dressed clients. Have fun. That’s the essence of it all.
