"Turn Up the Speakers" and rage until your eardrums explode with Afrojack at Story. Partying aside, the DJ's South Beach visit will be the perfect time for him to show off his car collection, which includes a Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini Aventador, and soon enough, the fastest car in the world: the Bugatti Chiron.

7. The Shore Leave Showdown: Southern, Outlaw, Rockabilly Festival with the Mavericks, Texas Tornados, Delbert McClinton, and more.

Tickets for the entire day cost $125 to $1,000 plus fees via shoreleaveshowdown.jigsy.com.

Get your dose of country, outlaw, and rockabilly with the Mavericks and dozens of others at the Shore Leave Showdown. As a country band that originated in Miami with a Cuban frontman, the Grammy-nominated Mavericks, as pointed out by New Times, "have never been the kind of band that readily fits one simple and convenient niche." But now, the group is finally starting to see the fruit of its labor. Plus, the 18-hour Shore Leave Showdown will help benefit cancer research. 

6. Nick Monaco with Will Buck. Saturday, February 6, 10 p.m. Bardot, 3456 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-576-7750; bardotmiami.com. Tickets cost $12 to $15 plus fees via showclix.com. Ages 21 and up.

When we talked to Nick Monaco last year about his debut album, Mating Call, he had this to say: "Mating Call is a further exploration of the main themes in my music, which are sexuality, gender, politics, femininity, and innocence." No matter where you stand on the spectrum, embrace your inner being and let your "Freak Flag" fly high at Bardot this Saturday. 

5. Oscar G. Friday, February 5, 10 p.m. Fifty at the Viceroy Hotel, 485 Brickell Ave., Miami; 305-503-4417; viceroymiami.com. Admission is free before midnight with RSVP via eventbrite.com, or $20. Ages 21 and up.

Whether DJ'ing at a mega nightclub in New York or playing for the people at an art space in Havana, Cuba, Oscar G always reps the 305. This week, though, he'll be turnin' up with his Miami fans at his debut rooftop gig at Fifty.

Despite Modeselektor's pop and hip-hop leanings, the duo remains somewhat of an underground secret in the States.

1. J Dilla Weekend With Bun B, Black Thought, Jay Electronica, Slum Village, and More. Friday to Sunday, February 5 to 7. Soho Studios, 2136 NW First Ave., Miami; 305-600-4785; sohostudiosmiami.com. Tickets cost $75 to $150 plus fees via ticketfly.com. Ages 18 and up.

2016 marks ten years since the death of J Dilla. And while the hip-hop icon is no longer with us, his legacy lives on thanks to his mother, Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey. What started off as Dilla Day has now — for the second year in a row — become J Dilla Weekend. Celebrate the rapper's life and music with Ma Dukes, Slum Village, Bun B, and all his number-one fans at J Dilla Weekend, smack in the heart of Wynwood.
