I finally made it to Disco Domingo and it was everything I hoped it would be — and then some.
- The crowd was energetic. The vibes were groovy. An aerial hair hanger under a disco ball. The weather was perfect.
Why it matters: The event's fourth edition, held at River House Wine & Bar, kicked off Miami Music Week (for me, at least) and set the tone for the six-day music marathon.
State of play: The annual music showcase begins Tuesday and runs through Sunday.
- The schedule — anchored by Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park — includes events in just about every genre at venues across town, but favors EDM, techno and house music.
Meanwhile, the Winter Music Conference at the Kimpton Hotel in downtown Miami is also this week, with a range of panels, workshops, networking events and pool parties to choose from.
- A few sanctioned events are also scheduled at venues across the city.
