For more than a decade, Miami has been home to one of the most iconic and influential events in electronic music: Miami Music Week. This six-day music party marathon takes place from March 25-30, featuring more than 200 events and showcases top producers and DJs from around the world. MMW encapsulates everything electronic dance music has to offer, including house, techno, trance, drum ‘n’ bass and dubstep. Bringing together the collective global electronic music community, new fans and longtime attendees come to celebrate with peace, love, unity and respect.
The week kicks off with pool parties, club and hotel events, and networking opportunities. MMW wraps up with Ultra, Miami’s three-day music festival, featuring some of the world’s most popular and influential DJs and producers.
Ultra Music Festival’s website headlines well-known names, from Afrojack, Alesso, Martin Garrix, Dom Dolla, John Summit, Zeds Dead and even underground rising producers like peekaboo, Carl Cox, Adam Beyer and more. This year, attendees can plan to see labels like Insomniac Records, Brownies & Lemonade, Black Book Records and Armada Invites.
The all-day-and-night electronic music scene is not all that Miami Music Week showcases. What’s commonly forgotten about by most festival-goers is the behind-the-scenes networking, industry panels and workshops. The Winter Music Conference, which is part of Miami Music Week, celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. Bringing together industry professionals, producers, DJs and fans for a week of music education, networking and celebration. Established in 1985, the conference has become a global hub for electronic music culture, attracting thousands of people from all over the world.
WMC is scheduled for March 26-28 at the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach. Attendees have access to industry panels and workshops that focus on various aspects of the music business—everything from production techniques to the latest trends in music technology and digital distribution. WMC is a space for aspiring artists to learn from experts and for established professionals to discuss the future of the genre.
This year’s conference features a diverse array of industry leaders and influential figures, from artists like HAYLA, LP Giobbi, Sydney Blu and Aluna. Attendees have access to panels from industry leaders such as David Waxman, president of Ultra Records, Sam Mobarek, head of Major Records at Warner Records and Watse de Jong, manager of Martin Garrix.
Miami Music Week’s Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival unites the business and creative sides of electronic dance music. Serving as a hub for networking, education and innovation, MMW creates a week that is as educational as it is electrifying.
