The After Party: Event Recaps
Cherub at Zey Zey
CHERUB Brought the Vibes to Zey Zey
CHERUB came through Zey Zey on August 31 and delivered a night nobody’s getting over anytime soon. The duo had the whole crowd dancing, singing, and locked into that feel good, funky energy they’re known for.
From the moment they hit the stage, it felt like a giant backyard party, friends everywhere, smiles all around, and the kind of set that just keeps lifting the mood. “Doses & Mimosas” obviously had everyone screaming, but the full set was packed with all theyre hits front to back.
Perfect weather, great crowd, and a night that reminded everyone why live music hits different at Zey Zey. Already wishing we could run it back.

Coconut Grooves 4th of July Party at SipSip Rum Bar
Coconut Groove was definitely the move this 4th of July, and the rooftop at SipSip Rum Bar kept things fun all day long.
The pool was packed, the drinks were strong, and the music didn’t miss. DJs kept the energy up with a mix of dancehall and house to classic throwbacks while people danced, swam, and chilled under the sun.
Frozen piña coladas and rum punches were flowing, and the whole space had that laid back, tropical feel SipSip is known for. As the sun went down, the rooftop turned golden, and fireworks popped off in the distance the perfect ending to a day of rooftop fun.
If you know, you know. This one’s already on the list for next year.
Back Of House 4th of July Party at Zey Zey Miami
Back of House threw a 4th of July day party at ZeyZey, and it seriously felt like one big backyard hang with all your favorite people.
The music was on point all day, DJs were spinning everything from house to feel good edits and Latin cuts that had everyone moving. It wasn’t too polished or over the top, just good energy, great music, and a crowd that was down to dance.
People were posted up with drinks, grabbing bites, cooling off in the shade, and catching up with friends between sets. Once the sun started going down and fireworks went up, the whole spot lit up in the best way.
No wristbands, no velvet ropes just vibes. Definitely one of those “glad I didn’t miss it” kind of days.

Just smooth transitions, steady momentum, and track selection that kept heads nodding and bodies moving.
The Sylvester’s cozy, low key setting made it feel even more immersive, no stage, no barriers, just DJs and dancers sharing the moment. Stigmaz knew exactly how to read the room, and the crowd gave it right back.

DayBreaker Party at Iron Side Miami Music Week 2025
Miami, you showed us what resilience and pure joy look like! Daybreaker's debut during Miami Music Week at Ironside Cafe was nothing short of spectacular, proving that even a little rain can't dampen our spirits. We gathered in Ironside Cafe for an early afternoon celebration of wellness and community, a unique twist on the typical Miami Music Week experience. Instead of late-night revelry, we embraced the sunshine (and a few sprinkles!), proving that the best parties happen before sunset. Despite the unexpected rain, the energy was electric! We flowed through invigorating breathing exercises, danced our hearts out to incredible beats, and connected on a level that transcended the weather. To make this debut even more unforgettable, we enjoyed surprise performances by Shimza and Mont Rouge. Their sets ignited the dance floor, transforming a rainy afternoon into a legendary moment. This Daybreaker event proved that Miami knows how to party, rain or shine! The community, the incredible music, and the unwavering positive energy created an experience that will be talked about for weeks to come.
