The uhntz-uhntz madness of Ultra Music Festival, Winter Music Conference, and Miami Music Week madness is almost upon us.

In just a few short weeks, the sandy shores of SoBe will be filled with over-excited PLUR freaks in neon sunglasses and pink fur boots, and house, techno, trap, and all sorts of EDM will dominate every party you attend.

But if you can't resist the urge to fist-pump till mid March, we here at Crossfade got you covered with the six best bashes to crash this week.

Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano. With Mednas. Thursday, February 27, 11 p.m., LIV, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-674-4680; livnightclub.com. Tickets cost $30-$40 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. You know it's gonna be one hell of a party when you're with "the world's most energetic house DJ duo." Dubbed the "Dutch version of Swedish House Mafia" by Axwell himself, Sunnery James and Ray Marciano will have your "hair flopping and body rockin'" till the wee hours of the morning.

Joel Mull and Fairmont. Presented by Link and Miami Rebels. With Hardline and Thunderpony. Friday, February 28, 11 p.m., Treehouse, 323 23rd St., Miami Beach; 305-614-4478; treehousemiami.com. Tickets cost $15 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. "Rolling basslines, harmonic synths, and energetic percussions ..." Sounds like the perfect "Track of the Night."

Henry Fong. With Dave Sol. Friday, February 28, 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. With support from Armin Van Buuren, Tiësto, and a list of hardcore beat bangers of the ilk, you better "Stand Up" for Henry Fong.

Notes from the Underground. With Chaim, Kike Roldan, and Snay. Friday, February 28, 11 p.m., FDR Lounge at the Delano, 1685 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-674-5752; fdrmiami.com. Ages 21 and up. Dance the night away under "Orion Skies" with some deep techno from Supplement Facts and BPitch Control mastermind, Chaim.

Tank. With DJs E-Feezy and Don Hot. Friday, February 28, 11 p.m., Cameo, 1445 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-532-2667; cameomiami.com. Tickets cost $20 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. There's something about Tank's voice that gets our lady parts tingling at the mention of his name. Maybe it's his smooth lyrical ways or his perfectly chiseled body. Whatever it is, brace yourself for some intense panty flinging at Cameo.

Nic Fanciulli. With Subb-an and Mark Fanciulli. Saturday, March 1, 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. Get ready for a British techno invasion from Grammy-nominated DJ, Nic Fanciulli.
