Miambient: drop in, turn on, chill out
March in Miami has more than its share of thumping beats, rolling breaks, and thudding pulses: during WMC, it's four to the floor, all the way to the horizon. This year, however, there's an escape from all that: Miambient, the International Convergence of Ambient, Downtempo, and Visual Music. Held Thursday through Sunday at the Standard Hotel, Miambient — an initiative of Earthdance International — offers an oasis of downbeat grooves and ambient soundscapes, with an emphasis on complementary video performance. Round-the-clock programming, specifically tailored to the Standard's secluded vibe, features international talents like OM Records' J-Boogie, leftfield glitch-hopper Pedro, and KCRW's Garth Trinidad; among the special events, NextAid's Beats Build Hope and Global Alliance Distribution's Support for Sierra Leone raise the bar for conscious raving. And be sure to swing by Saturday, from 4pm to midnight, when Flavorpill presents Ari K, Pink Skull, Something in Spanish, and more.
