u headed to Miami Music Week?

A preview of America's biggest week in music for the Miami Herald.

Argy, a Greek born, UK-based DJ, traveled to Miami as a teenager to soak in the music giants at the turn of the millennium.

Now two decades later he’s returning to play the 24th edition of Ultra Music Festival as he rolls out a new album, titled “New World,” that he describes as a mix of old-school house music with high-tech sensibilities wrapped around tribalistic vocals.

“I have a history with Miami, just not with Ultra. Ultra’s a first,” Argy says. Ultra, the three-day electronic music festival that swarms Bayfront Park drawing more than 150,000 attendees between Friday and Sunday, will again act as the anchor to Miami Music Week.

But the festivities will kick off Tuesday and run through the wee hours of the following Monday morning – unless you have the stamina to continue the party at Club Space, which will keep the hardest core clubgoers grooving through the following Tuesday. Afterlife – the wildly popular globe-trotting techno party famous for its high-arching, avant-garde visuals – returns for two events at Miami Marine Stadium, which is expected to draw 14,000 people per night for pulsating sets between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m.
