Yes, while everyone else is running around in a pseudo-art-related frenzy, there are a few big events this week that are absolutely NOT related to Art Basel. It seems almost anticlimactic to talk about them, though, with all the big-deal one-off events going on. Still, here's something for the frequent denizens of superclubs: UK native and Miami big-room favorite Nic Fanciulli returns to our shores for a gig at Mansion this Saturday. Since officially breaking up his One+One duo with James Zabiela, Fanciulli's been back hitting the studio hard. This has been both on his own, with a string of releases for the legendary Renaissance brand, as well as with his other production partnership, Skylark. His latest club stormer, "Sugar High," can be streamed for free on his MySpace page.
Saturday, December 6; Mansion, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Doors
open at 11 p.m.; tickets cost $20 in advance from www.wantickets.com.
Ages 21+ with ID. 305-531-5535; www.theopiumgroup.com/nicfanciulli.
