The trip to Miami was outstanding! I met a lot of new people, got exposed to a lot of new music, and overall just had fun. Part 1 of pics follows:
First meal was at a sushi spot, which I won’t name. Food kind of sucked!
After we ate, we walked to the beach real quick. Honestly I expected we would never make it to the beach, so I didnt even bring my flipflops OR any shorts. What a dummy I was for that one…
SK and applejuice enjoying the beach.
Since Red Bull Music Academy was paying for our stay, we went to a few panels they were sponsoring. This is leroy burgess, his contributions to music are crazy. He’s a founding member of black ivory, who I’ve sampled a few times, and many others have as well. I gotta get the pic from SK, but I asked Leroy how he felt about producers sampling his music. He said he likes it, and that if music he made years ago can inspire someone today, then he’s all for it. He also mentioned getting unexpected royalty money being nice, haha
The last day we were there, my homegirl Michelle from Toronto came to hang out. I had to show her the beach real quick because the rest of the day was gonna be nonstop!
That night our first stop was a party Red Bull sponsored near the hotel. Each table we sat at had a bucket of red bull, orange juice, cranberry juice, glasses and ice, and an unopened bottle of vodka. We stayed here for a while and enjoyed the music and drinks
The next spot was to Skybar to check out The Rub (we’d been talking about it the whole week because we really wanted to see them). Thanks to the homie Kaos, we didn’t have to stand in line at all. There were two parties going on, one by the pool, and one inside with a dope bar and club environment. We thought the rub was inside so we went there to hang out. The rub wasn’t there, but dj mauricio was, and he was MASHING OUT on the set! We had a lot of fun inside
Eventually Michelle and I thought “i bet the rub is outside.” So we ventured out only to find out they already finished spinning! We expressed our disappointment to DJ Eleven and just chilled outside while Cosmo finished up before heading back to Moshi Moshi for some 3 am sushi (where we met up with a wasted DJ SK, haha)
There was a lot more that happened but I’m still waiting on everyone’s pics to tell the stories. Next up is a post from the stuff that happened when I got back from Mia, cause I was going nonstop the whole weekend!
