Friday

FIXED Miami

when: Fri 3.23 (9pm-5am)
where: Studio A (60 NE 11th St, Downtown)
price: $20 advance
links: Event Info

You don't need us to tell you that this is going to be the rockingest show all week long, with Ed Banger beat butchers Justice and Kitsuné overlords of overdrive Digitalism topping a very top-heavy bill, rounded out by an in-the-red roster that includes Boys Noize, Datarock, Para One, SebastiAn, DJ Mehdi, Ed Banger founder Busy P, and New York's own JDH and Dave P, promoting their new Go Commando mix.

Jump 'N Funk

when: Fri 3.23 (1-8pm)
where: Marlin Hotel (1200 Collins Ave, Miami Beach)
price: FREE
links: Event Info | Rich Medina

Having become a staple in New York's funk scene, Rich Medina and his Jump 'N Funk event bring the original Fela jump-off to Miami, interweaving the sounds of hip-hop, jazz, house, and Latin music via a shared thread of Afrobeat. Best known for his work on the seminal Who Is Jill Scott?, Medina is supported by house legend Ron Trent and Vancouver's Rob Rizk.

Kubicle in Miami

when: Fri 3.23 (8am-late)
where: Goldrush (29 NE 11th St, Miami)
price: $30 advance
links: Kubicle

Don't get the wrong idea about Kubicle. These London promoters aren't paying homage to the office-dwellers of the world, but rather to the throne-sitters — Public Life, their first venue in London, was a former public restroom. They're keeping with the corporeal vibe for their first Miami event: tonight's party takes place in a strip club — one of the few, in fact, with a 24-hour alcohol license. (So save a few small bills for beers!) The top billing so far goes to Adultnapper, Mr C (Superfreq), and Clive Henry (Circo Loco), but Kubicle promises a few more special guests in the works; check the MySpace page for late-breaking developments.

Loco Dice, Steve Bug, and Martin Buttrich (Live)

when: Fri 3.23 (10pm-5am)
where: B.E.D. (929 Washington Ave, Miami Beach)
price: $25 advance
links: Event Info

Düsseldorf's Loco Dice has been in the game for years, first active as a hip-hop DJ and producer and then spinning house at clubs like Ibiza's DC10. But thanks in part to a split mix CD with Ricardo Villalobos last year, his reputation as one of the new stars of post-minimal is on the rise. His co-producer Martin Buttrich is no less in demand with recent hits for Four:Twenty, Planet E, and Poker Flat, whose founder Steve Bug rounds out the bill. Expect insistent, electric, and damned sexy grooves.

Miami Gets Deep

when: Fri 3.23 (1-9pm)
where: Opium Garden (136 Collins Ave, Miami Beach)
price: $20 door

This soulful-house throwdown has plenty of big names attached to it — Marques Wyatt, Neil Aline, Dennis Ferrer, Franky Boissy, Matty Heilbronn — but our money's on the little guys: the Martinez Brothers. These two teens from the Bronx — Steve is 18, and Chris 15 — represent an uncommon breath of fresh air in dance music, mixing and producing full-fathom house and techno tracks that touch upon Detroit, Chicago, and, of course, New York and New Jersey.

The Spectral Social presents Audion

when: Fri 3.23 (9pm-2am)
where: The Clinton Hotel (825 Washington Ave, South Beach)
price: $10
links: Spectral Sound

Audion (aka Matthew Dear) and Ghostly International's Spectral sub-label are enjoying a meteoric rise thanks to Dear's 2006 hit "Mouth to Mouth" and their series of residencies at the nation's best clubs. But tonight's party promises to be an appealingly intimate affair, rounded out with DJ sets and live/DJ combos from Spectral family members Ryan Elliott, Pär Grindvik, and Seth Troxler.
