Valentine's doesn't come around on a Saturday very often, making this year's an ideal reason for EDM lovers to consummate their love on a dancefloor somewhere (as if we needed an excuse on Saturday nights anyways.)
Here's a lowdown of some choice shows happening around town that night, which should please both big club and underground dance connoisseurs:
Konrad Black at Glass
This
highly-praised Berlin-based techno producer/DJ/impresario will be
performing at Glass at the Forge on the first leg of his debut 2009 US
tour. He boasts a distinguished minimal sound with lots of deliciously
dark atmosphere to revel in. Not to be missed!
Danny Tenaglia at Gryphon
A
man who needs no introduction... The legendary DJ will be hosting
Gryphon nightclub's "Valentine's Day Extravaganza" and doubtlessly
spinning up a storm on the dancefloor as he usually does.
Funkagenda at Space
Despite
all the trappings of international stardom, this jet-setting
DJ/producer manages to defy most commercial cliches with a fairly
sophisticated and versatile big room sound. Check him out on
Valentine's night for first ever appearance at the quintessential Miami
venue.
Punisher Afterhours at Eden Terrace Garden
In
a music scene dominated by dudes and run-of-the-mill DJ sets, Michelle
Herrmann a.k.a. Punisher is a femme force to be reckoned with. This
petite Detroit-based techno producer throws down a truly punishing live
PA via drum machines and analog synths. Mind-blowing stuff -- and
pretty damn sexy! This is also the grand opening of the new Eden
Terrace Garden in North Miami, which promises to provide the same
clubbing-under-the-stars experience as Space and Nocturnal, sans the
Eurotrash.
