Miami continues to astound as more and more lineups are released each and every day. Sitting comfortably in Los Angeles, I’m fairly confident that I will see each and every one of these acts at some point throughout the year. However, for those of you who might not feel as fortunate, Miami is a damn godsend. You can basically knock out your bucket list in 5 days if you plan it out right. And shucks, there are plenty of people who want to help you out. Just take a look at the good folks over at Wavo, and their SLS Miami South Beach Pool Party. For five days, March 25-29 (Sunday will be announced soon), they will be hosting some of the biggest names all together in one place.

Swiss DJ and producer Luciano rose up from the underground electronic music scene in Chile, moved to Europe and became a resident DJ in Ibiza. Luciano is now recognized worldwide for his epic, emotional sets, which feature a blend of barebones techno, pure house, and hot-blooded Latin rhythms.
