The hot weather is here. And South Beach summers are all about naked shoulders, bare backs and sweet, sweet music.
So go get your epic party on at one, two, or all six of these steamy SoBe soirees. Some big names are coming to the beach, raining down trance, electro, and deep house. The forecast even predicts a thunderclap of grown-and-sexy R&B.
If you're gonna get sweaty, you might as well do it in style.

In fact, this tag-team takes its name from a caustic element used for making bombs. Go catch these guys as they drop a few of their own sonic booms on the Mansion crowd.

Alright, so Trey's not exactly scheduled to sing, but we think all the ladies in the 305 know it doesn't really matter what Mr. Songz does, as long as he's in the room. We're happy just to smell his sweat. Maybe get caught in some of the alcohol shower he's bound to spray. Dress up and look sharp, and try not to have a "Heart Attack" when this man comes a lil' too close.
