Skrillex! Destruction! Mayhem! EDM mosh pits!

With UMF becoming a two-weekend behemoth and WMC/MMW turning into a ten-day smackdown, the month of March in the MIA has officially become an insane EDM endurance test. And here is the most important rule: Do not attend any less than an average of two beat-freaking parties per day.

So stay PLUR, keep hydrated, and please consult New Times' guide to the twenty best parties during this year's WMC and MMW. It just might save your life.

Everyone knows he's the bearded, sunglasses-clad hero of Miami EDM. But were you aware that Oscar G's been rocking facial scruff and sweet shades since birth? (Well, at least according to the flyer for this year's Made in Miami party depicting Oscar as a baby.) Fuck yeah, bro, he's that cool.
