During Miami Music Week, a time when DJs descend on the city like sharks to a blood pool, one promoter always seems to come out on top: BLNK CNVS.

The Miami-based event organizer has a knack for curating unforgettable shared experiences year-round, but for one week in March, they rise to the occasion like Dwyane Wade in the 2006 NBA Finals. Whether it takes place at a sun-kissed beachside setting, a breathtaking rooftop with panoramic views or an intimate underground club, each BLNK CNVS event during MMW is an exercise in captivation.

2023 was business as usual. If you found yourself melting away on the dancefloor in an eyes-to-the-sky trance, odds are you were at a BLNK CNVS event.

They got started early, kicking things off on Wednesday, March 22nd with a handful of shows. One of the most memorable was the Spinnin' Sessions Pool Party at the Nautilus Hotel, where chart-topping dance music superstar Alan Walker threw down a spellbinding set.

The following day, BLNK CNVS joined forces with the venerated Confession imprint for a sultry showcase. With support from Curbi, BIJOU, Nostalgix and more, label boss Tchami flexed his muscles as a tried-and-true tastemaker of propulsive, cutting-edge house music.

But it wasn't all four-on-the-floor beats and breezy house music. Catering to Miami's head-bangers, BLNK CNVS hosted a heavy-hitting show, "Deadbeats vs. Cyclops," at the Mana Wynwood on March 24th.

Label founders Zeds Dead and Subtronics, respectively, teamed up for a fang-dripping b2b set chock full of ferocious dubstep and bass music.

Stomping into the weekend, Saturday, March 25th saw Fisher and his carefree brand of tech house invade the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel. A spin of the Australian superstar's breakthrough hit "Losing It" saw the dancefloor erupt into a down-and-dirty corroboree.
