It's official: it's Miami Music Week, Winter Music Conference, and the week of Ultra Music Festival. Whatever you want to call it and however you want to frame it, right now is the most eventful time in 2014 for dance music, and we mean that literally: as you can see here, there are tons of parties going on, all day and all night. And unless you've memorized the Miami Music Week site and schedule, the whole thing is more than overwhelming, it can be daunting. So here at EARMILK, we've studied and sorted through the events schedule to get you the best of the best. Our list is laid out below by time, with most events really needing no explanation: they're just awesome. Though some of them might overlap a bit in timing, luckily their locations almost feel to be picked with that in mind. Now, let's get to the music!
