I Love Miami!!!! - Posted on 2011-11-05 by Jorge Varela

I should have mentioned these before, but two nightclub events that really stood out recently were Abel Ramos at Mansion on July 30th, and Claude Von Stroke at the Electric Pickle on August 5th.

Mr. Ramos put on a show, giving his fans a dosage of his signature hard techy sound. Check out Abel's music on Soundcloud at http://soundcloud.com/abelramos

For Claude, it was my first time at the Pickle, and it was fantastic. It is a two-story venue with an intimate atmosphere on both floors. The San Francisco - based DJ has a very interesting, quite quirky touch to his music, one that is instantly identifiable to match his name. He definitely knows how to keep his floor moving around.

Another gig worth mentioning was at Space on July 23rd, when local legends Patrick M (signed to Stereo Productions along with Abel Ramos),  Louis Puig (Owner of Space Miami), and Lazardi all headlined on the club's 2nd floor for a packed house.
