One of the perks of living in Miami are the non-stop, bottle-poppin', liquor flowin' parties on South Beach.

Not only do we have celebrity-status bashes every night of the week, there's a whole whack of 'em to choose from. It's no wonder they call this place the Magic City.

Just check out Crossfade's six best South Beach parties this week, from bass to hip-hop to house.

Worthy. With Mark Starr. Thursday, May 2, 11 p.m., Mansion, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-695-8411; mansionmiami.com. Tickets cost $30 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. Dive into the future of techno as Dirtybird's Worthy and Mark Starr bring their booty poppin' music to South Beach. The sound of bass fused with a little bit of techno, hip-hop, and freestyle will get your insides vibrating and your body twerking to the beat.

Adrian Lux. With Mednas. Thursday, May 2, 11 p.m., LIV, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-674-4680; livnightclub.com. Tickets cost $30-$40 via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. DJs are the one thing (aside from Ikea and meatballs) Americans associate with Sweden. And with reason: they're friggin' talented. The Swedish invasion A.K.A Adrian Lux's Grammy-nominated hits are so hot, they may just set you on "Fire."

Lil Jon. Friday, May 3, 11 p.m., LIV, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-674-4680; livnightclub.com. Tickets cost $40-$60 via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. Get yo' crunk on. "What?" That's right, Lil Jon's in the house. "O-Kay!" And he'll be bringing that beat to make your booty go clap as he takes a shot at the turntables.

Michael Woods. Friday, May 3, 11 p.m., Story, 136 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-538-2424; storymiami.com. Tickets cost $30-$40 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. Lookin' for some techno-y house beats to get your fist pump action on? Then head over to Story as Michael Woods brings non-stop uhntz-uhntz.

Morgan Page. With Mark Starr. Saturday, May 4, 11 p.m., Mansion, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-695-8411; mansionmiami.com. Tickets cost $30 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. Sure, EDM is great, but when two-time Grammy Award nominee Morgan Page blasts his hits all night, just for you, he won't need to "Fight For You--" you're already under his electronic spell.

Steve Lawler. With Robert Dietz. Saturday, May 4, 11 p.m., Story, 136 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-538-2424; storymiami.com. Tickets cost $30-$40 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. Steve Lawler once said, "Dance music is not the same as house music." That's pretty legit, coming from the King of Space (as in the Ibiza dance mecca) and all. So be sure not to confuse the two as you jam to his sexy, sultry house, not dance, beats.
