Ultra Music Festival 2025: The Best Hotels Near Ultra Miami

Just a couple of months since the Ultra Music Festival so, it’s time to choose the best hotels to stay in for Ultra Miami 2025. Ultra Music Festival will return to Downtown Miami, at Bayfront Park, on March 28, 29, and 30, 2025. Downtown Miami is packed with hotels and places to stay for the weekend but, what’s the best solution? Don’t ask further, we are here to help!
The top picks for Ultra Miami 2025 in Downtown Miami include the InterContinental Miami and Kimpton EPIC Hotel, offering prime locations and stunning views. Alternatively, explore Brickell options like Hyatt Centric and EAST Miami for a vibrant atmosphere. Miami Beach, though scenic, may require extra travel time to the festival. Prices vary; book in advance.
Ultra Music Festival area: Downtown Miami
Located in the center of Miami, Downtown is a busy shopping area. You’ll find a lot of culture and event venues, including fancy restaurants and bars.

The Best Hotels in Miami Brickell, near Ultra Miami
If you’re looking for a hotel near Ultra Miami, but won’t stay in Downtown or super close to Bayfront Park, Brickell could be your best choice.
Brickell is the Miami’s financial hub. Overlooking Biscayne Bay, it is home to many shiny business towers and high-end houses. Bankers and businesspeople like rooftop bars and surf ‘n’ turf grills.
The area is just minutes away by car from Ultra Music Festival. If you don’t have a car while visiting you can still take Uber or, even better, the metro mover will bring you in just a couple of minutes at Bayfront Park.
If you love walking, Bayfront Park and Brickell are less than 30 minutes away.
Miami Brickell hotels, just a couple of minutes from Ultra Music Festival
During our times at Ultra Miami, we have chosen Brickell several times while staying at the hotels. There are several interesting options in the area like the Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami, the EAST Miami, or the famous W Miami.
All of them are near the waterfront, with a nice view of the ocean as well as very close to Mary Brickell Village. If you want to go shopping or have a decent dinner after Ultra Music Festival, you’re covered.
Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami
The Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami has beautiful views of Biscayne Bay, right in the middle of Miami’s business and financial area. In Miami’s Brickell area, sparkling skyscrapers stand tall above the beautiful Biscayne Bay. Brickell is the city’s most important financial area, but it’s also a lively place to hang out at night when the cafés, clubs, and shops along Brickell Avenue come to life. The Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami puts you right in the middle of all the action, even for the Ultra Music Festival.
Hyatt Centric Brickell was our first choice back in 2019 when we were looking for a hotel near Ultra Miami. Rooms’ prices start at around $ 1150 per night
EAST Miami
EAST Miami is in the middle of the Brickell area and has high-end shops, a movie theater, restaurants, bars, a spa, and more.
The rooms and suites are tastefully decorated and have modern conveniences like floor-to-ceiling windows and a walk-in rain shower. Each room has a big balcony and a place to make tea and coffee. For your entertainment, all rooms have 50-inch flat-screen TVs.
The outdoor pool deck is 1,858 square meters and has 4 different pools: an Olympic-size pool, a whirlpool, a cold-water pool, and a hot tub.

EAST Miami is just 8 minutes away from the Metro Mover station and 12 minutes away from Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park. Rooms’ prices start at around $ 950 per night.
W Miami
The W Hotel in Miami has been a landmark during the Ultra Music Festival. Every year the hotel hosts several parties with the most in-demand artists. W Miami is located near Ultra Miami, in Brickell.
Bask in the Florida sun and enjoy the view of Miami from our 15th-floor pool after getting into your high-end hotel room. At ADDIKT, W Hotel’s flagship restaurant, you can enjoy food from around the world while taking in the view of Miami.
The Iconbrickell Spa has a water lounge, a steam room, and a sauna for you to relax in after a busy day raving at Ultra Music Festival. Rooms’ prices start at around $ 850 per night.
Miami Beach and its hotels
If Downtown Miami and Brickell are not for you, we can suggest having a look at Miami Beach. You will find the iconic Ocean Drive with tons of hotels to choose from.
We have to warn you tho. Even if during the Miami Music Week (the period in which Ultra Music Festival is held) tons of parties and events are located in various hotels in Miami Beach, Ultra Music Festival is not so close to the area.
Choosing a hotel in Miami Beach means you’ll need a car or, at least call an Uber or a taxi to reach Downtown Miami.
We would avoid Miami Beach if you’re looking for hotels near Ultra Music Festival. If you don’t mind calling a taxi or an Uber, that could be the perfect choice if you want the famous Miami Beach Pool Parties experience as well as attending Ultra Miami.
When no traffic, Miami Beach is 15 minutes by car close to Bayfront Park. During Ultra Music Festival Miami expects traffic congestion and an increase in requests for Uber and taxis, especially at the end of each day of the event.

‘Bump The Lamp’ lays down a glimmering synth loop over a glitchy clap-laden beat while soft keys glow like embers between a humming swirl. ‘Muse’ on the other hand features an ethereal vocal sample & careens atop waves of flickering synths, skittering cymbals & gentle feedback – traversing across an array of soundscapes.
As members of GRAMMY nominated metal mainstays Periphery, along with various other collaborations across genres – Misha & Jake continue to stretch their sonic horizons & apply the same signature inventive creativity to electronic music.

The Future Of Retro: Stekker And The Cutting Edge Of Jungle

Some 1.5 years ago, the iconic Dutch city of Breda got featured on UKF as the ninth instalment of ‘Rave Scenes’. And one previously mentioned artist (among other local upcoming producers in the scene) definitely deserves a dedicated publication. 
We’re talking here about the man like Stekker to be precise.
With a deep-rooted passion for music that transcends trends, Stekker’s (Teun Streefkerk) journey evolved into a defining force within the scene of jungle. From initial experimenting with hip-hop production, to embracing the craft and culture of ‘90’s reminiscent sound design – Stekker’s organic approach is driven by a relentless pursuit of authenticity.
The Breda-based artist has established himself as a creative force through his label, ruff ‘n tuff records. How so? ‘Quality above quality’, as he says. And it has proven to be a philosophy that his rapidly growing following attests to. As does his debut EP on renowned Pete Cannon’s N4 Records together with Cheetah, DJ Sofa and Phineus II. 
What’s more, the widely acclaimed Amigo Sampler VST he collaborated on with Dario Potenza has made jungle production more accessible for aspiring producers worldwide. A tool recognized and used by none other than High Contract, Bizzy B and Flava D. Talking about (re)defining the take on a genre.
In this interview, Stekker opens up about his musical origins, creative philosophy, and his ambitions for the future, offering insights on his vision and goals. We also touch base on his latest release ‘The Council’ with DJ Sofa. Read on below for the full scoop.
Hi Teun, great to have you for a chat! How did you get into music production?
I started making music relatively late, around the age of 20 or 21. Initially, I was producing for friends who were into rapping, and it gradually evolved from there. I was also part of the Dutch SoundCloud scene for a while, which helped shape my early experience. Some of the artists I worked with back then include Big Bobby and $keer & Boo$, who might be familiar to some.
Over time, I realised I wanted to explore other genres beyond hip-hop. I had always been drawn to electronic music and jungle, listening to it for years before I started producing it myself. At first, I kept my jungle productions to myself, but eventually, I felt the need to branch out creatively. I no longer wanted to be just a producer for others; I wanted to express my own artistic vision.
How did your connection with Yoël (Coco Bryce) come about?
I initially reached out to Yoël with some jungle tracks, but he wasn’t interested at the time. Instead of being discouraged, I kept refining my sound and started uploading music independently. Eventually, it caught on, and labels started approaching me, which was a big shift from when I was the one reaching out.
Regarding Joël, I didn’t know him personally then, but being from the same city (Breda), I was aware of his work. As my music improved and gained traction, our paths crossed again, leading to my first release on his label Myor.
Have you collaborated with Yoël on any projects?
Yoël and I have discussed working together, but scheduling is always tricky since he’s quite busy. However, we are connected through the scene, and I have a track of his coming out on my label, ruff ‘n tuff, which is something I’m excited about.
How do you think music production has changed over the years?
When it comes to music today versus the past, I think there’s a lot of truth to the idea that older music had a more creative and experimental edge. Back then, producers spent hours in their bedrooms, discovering unique sounds through trial and error. Now, tutorials and pre-made sample packs make it easier but also more formulaic.
I try to maintain that old-school ethos by focusing on original sampling rather than relying on existing packs. It’s more about the mindset of experimenting and finding unexpected sounds, rather than following a set formula.
Can you tell us about your production process?
I started with old hardware like Amigas and vintage samplers to achieve an authentic sound. While I used to rely solely on that equipment, I now blend it with modern tools like Ableton to balance flexibility and authenticity. Using both old and new technology allows me to preserve that classic jungle sound, while still benefiting from the efficiency of modern workflows.
How important is mastering in your work?
Mastering is another key aspect. In the jungle and underground electronic scenes, many artists work with the same mastering engineers who have been around since the ’90s. I’ve had tracks mastered by some of these veterans, but it ultimately depends on the label’s choice. Working with these experienced engineers helps maintain the raw, punchy sound that jungle is known for.
What genres inspire your music?
I draw inspiration from a wide range of genres—ambient, IDM, Detroit techno, and house. Despite making jungle, I don’t listen to it constantly. Instead, I find ideas and samples in other styles, which keeps my sound fresh and unique. Exploring different genres helps me avoid creative stagnation and ensures that my productions remain dynamic and interesting.
What role do you play in your label, ruff ‘n tuff records?
When it comes to my label, ruff ‘n tuff records, I focus entirely on the creative aspects—approaching artists, designing artwork, and curating releases—while Tekno Sucks handles the business side. This allows me to concentrate on making music without getting bogged down in administrative tasks. Having this division of responsibilities ensures that the label maintains a strong artistic identity.
Congratulations on this latest release, TCRNT01 – can you tell us more about this new collaboration with DJ Sofa under ‘The Council’…
My collaboration with DJ Sofa under the alias ‘The Council’ stemmed from our mutual passion for jungle and an inside joke about being the ‘council of jungle.’ We were inspired by acts like Drexciya, who created entire fictional worlds around their music. Our project aims to bring that kind of storytelling and conceptual depth into our releases. We wanted to create a sense of mystery and immersion, inviting listeners to dive deeper into the world of jungle music.
What’s your overall philosophy when it comes to making music?
Ultimately, for me, music is about emotion and experimentation rather than rigid storytelling. I believe that listeners should interpret it in their own way. My goal is to create something that resonates on a personal level, allowing people to find their own meaning in the sounds I craft.
The Amigo Sampler has been a major highlight of 2024. How did the idea come about? Developing a VST sampler must involve a lot of programming…
Absolutely. It required a lot of programming, brainstorming, and trial and error. I had the idea for a while because, while making music with old computers is great, it’s also a hassle. Those machines are becoming rarer and more expensive, and they’re not always the most accessible option.
I can imagine it took a lot of extra effort beyond the creative process…
Exactly. It pushes you creatively, but sometimes you spend an hour just getting the thing to turn on before you can start working. I always thought it would be nice to just sit on the couch with my laptop and make music without all the hassle. I think a lot of artists feel the same way, especially those who travel frequently.

So how did the collaboration with Dario Potenza come about, and what role did he play?
Dario is primarily a programmer. I can program a bit, but I’m not great at it. He’s very skilled. I actually found him in a pretty random way—he was unemployed at the time and had posted a free plugin online. I came across it, started following him, and then one day he posted on his story asking if anyone had an idea for a plugin. Furthermore, I reached out with my idea, and we immediately clicked. For three to four months, we worked on it daily, with him handling the programming and me focusing on the graphics and concept.
That’s amazing. So it was a passion project from the start…
Yeah, completely. It wasn’t a business-driven decision. I created something I personally wanted. But after putting so much effort into it, we couldn’t just give it away for free, so we priced it affordably at ten pounds, essentially making it accessible for as many people as possible. 
That’s a great approach, especially for young producers who might not have the budget for expensive plugins…
Yes, we wanted to make it accessible because when I started producing, I used to download plugins illegally because I couldn’t afford them. But we put so much work into Amigo that it needed to have some value attached to it.
And then it took off quickly. How did that feel?
It was both exciting and stressful. We weren’t prepared for the commercial aspect of it. Suddenly, we had a lot of people reaching out for support, treating us like a professional company.
That must have been intense for just the two of you…
Yeah, it was a challenge. But now we’ve streamlined the process—our website works well, and we have standard responses for common questions. It’s running smoothly now.
How many downloads have you had?
We prefer to keep that private, but I can say it’s doing really well.
Fair enough. Has this success inspired you to create Amigo Sampler 2?
Yeah, we’ve received a lot of feedback from people who love the sampler but don’t necessarily want the lo-fi aesthetic. So we’re considering a second version that offers more flexibility, making it appealing beyond old-school jungle music.
Prominent artists have embraced Amigo. Has that opened new doors for you?
Not directly. I’ve always been on an upward trajectory, making connections gradually. While the plugin introduced me to new people, it hasn’t drastically changed things.
Looking ahead to 2025, what are you most excited about?
Growing my label further. Last year felt like the beginning, but now I see more people recognizing our work. I’m focused on maintaining quality over quantity.
How many releases did you do with your label last year?
Five. I don’t have a set number in mind; I only release music that I truly like, even if it’s from a well-known artist.
That’s a strong vision. Are you also planning an album?
Yes, that’s a goal for this year. I want it to go beyond just jungle music—something people can listen to while chilling at home, incorporating ambient elements.
Would you release it independently?
Yes, I prefer to. I have a clear vision for how I want it to look and feel, and I already have the platform and connections to do it myself.
And how about upcoming gigs?
I don’t see myself as a DJ. I prefer making music that others play rather than touring. Likewise, I do have a love for sound system culture and would be selective about where I perform.
Any shoutouts you’d like to give?
Definitely. Shoutout to DJ Sofa, Cheetah, Phineus II, Coco Bryce for the opportunity to be on his label, and the Tekno Sucks crew. Also, Worsley, a great producer from England.

Majority's Sleek Moto Turntable Blends Bluetooth and Timeless Vinyl Charm

In an era where vinyl sales continue to surge and budget turntables flood the market, Majority's Moto Bluetooth Record Player Turntable is making a compelling pitch: bring modern connectivity to the analog experience without breaking the bank.
The UK-based consumer electronics company has finally made the Moto turntable available in the United States, and at just $109.95, they're positioning it in the sweet spot between affordable suitcase players and sleek audiophile equipment.
The unit's headline feature is its seamless Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, letting you beam your vinyl to wireless speakers or headphones. But what's more intriguing is Majority's decision to equip it with an Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge, the same reliable workhorse found in turntables costing twice as much.
While budget turntables often cut corners on vibration control, the Moto includes some thoughtful engineering: a dampening platter and specialized feet to minimize unwanted resonance.
c/o Majority
c/o Majority
These aren't groundbreaking features, but they're welcome additions at this price point and should help deliver cleaner playback of those precious records. Meanwhile, the built-in USB recording capability feels like a nod to the digital archivists among us, though the 2.0 channel output suggests this is aimed more at casual listeners than serious vinyl enthusiasts.
The included Majority-branded slipmat and precision tonearm round out a package that offers considerable value for vinyl newcomers or those looking to upgrade from entry-level players.
You can purchase Majority's Moto Bluetooth Turntable on Amazon.

Alison Wonderland Announces Zouk 2025 Residency

A personality as vibrant as Alison Wonderland deserves a venue that can match her energy. Enter Zouk Nightclub, in Las Vegas, the perfect choice to host the Australian DJ, producer, singer, and instrumentalist for a 2025 residency.
“Alison Wonderland returns to where she belongs,” declared Zouk Nightclub in an Instagram post unveiling the residency. “We’re thrilled to announce her 2025 residency at Zouk Group Las Vegas, kicking off with her first show on Thursday, March 20!”
The residency currently features three additional dates: Wednesday, May 14, Friday, June 20, and Thursday, September 18.
Alison Wonderland (real name Alexandra Sholler) began her musical journey playing cello with the Sydney Youth Orchestra and bass guitar in local bands before turning to dance music. Her career took off with her debut single, “Get Ready,” in 2013, and she has since released albums such as Run (2015), Awake (2018), and Loner (2022), largely within the bass music genre.
Zouk Nightclub, located in Resorts World and an extension of the iconic Singapore venue established in 1991, has held special significance for Sholler even before this residency. After marrying Ti West at Las Vegas’ Little White Wedding Chapel, the couple hosted their after-party at Zouk.

Day Zero 2025 Transforms Tulum Into a Portal Merging Music and Myth

Equal parts celebration and ceremony, this year’s Day Zero reminded all in attendance that the Damian Lazarus-led festival is an invitation to step outside the confines of time.
On January 11th, Lazarus’ sublime event unfolded once again like an ancient ritual reimagined through the lens of electronic music, deep in the jungles of Tulum.
In the city's dense, humid air, the trees seem to lean toward you with twisted roots crawling over ancient ground, so perhaps its no surprise that the first thing one is likely to notice at Day Zero is the atmosphere. The sounds of the jungle blend harmoniously with the throbbing basslines that resonate through day and night.
c/o Alive Coverage
It’s no coincidence that the event is rooted in the spiritual calendar of the Mayans, who saw endings not as finalities but as fertile ground for new beginnings.
Airrica and Cole Knight delivered the energy that the moment called for with a hypnotic b2b set, their melodic grooves intertwining with the meditative hum of the jungle. Sainte Vie, one of Mexico’s brightest talents, delivered a live performance that embraced a fusion of organic and electronic elements woven together like past and present.
Then came the kind of moment that defines the Day Zero experience. Solomun, Michael Bibi and Lazarus took to the stage for an epic b3b set that was daring and seamless. Previously, their creative fusion only existed in the hearts and minds of their respective fans, but those lucky enough to attend their set witnessed an event that will be remembered for years to come.
c/o Alive Coverage
Day Zero is often described as a party, but that description alone feels inadequate. Under the glow of art installations inspired by Mayan mythology and amidst the flickering light of fire dancers, the festival’s deeper purpose becomes clear as not only is it a place to escape reality but an opportunity to face it with a newfound sense of wonder.

SILO Dallas brings world-class production, lineup to Dallas club scene

A major overhaul of the nightlife scene in Dallas is underway. As of May 2024, SILO Dallas has entered the fray as the area’s newest nightclub bringing world-class production to North Texas, with a lineup to match.
Three years in the making, SILO Dallas is the brainchild of Donnie Estopinal — better known as Disco Donnie — and entertainment entrepreneur ,Patrick Tetrick. When the duo first began work on the venue in 2021, the 3,145-capacity space was virtually unusable — it didn’t even have a roof. Fast forward to its grand opening in spring of 2024, and SILO has emerged as a state-of-the-art, multi-use event space designed to host the world’s most in-demand DJs.
Eric Prydz at SILO Dallas on November 16, 2024 | Photo credit: SILO Dallas For Estopinal, SILO Dallas marks an important milestone. His company, Disco Donnie Presents, has been a major player in the dance music scene for years, known for festivals like Lights All Night, Ubbi Dubbi, and more. However, until now, they lacked a dedicated venue. “We have a fan community hungry for live entertainment all year round,” Estopinal explains. “Even with the success of our festivals, we didn’t have a space in Dallas that we could fully control and call home. SILO solves that.”
SILO Dallas’ upcoming calendar features a who’s who of impeccable talent, including Vintage Culture, Mau P, Solomun, Alesso, Tinlicker, Boris Brejcha and many more. Check out the full upcoming calendar below, and head to their website for tickets and more information.

Armin Van Buuren And Maddix Prepare For Face-to-Face Set At A State Of Trance

Everybody loves a good back-to-back set where you get to see your favourite DJs collaborate behind the decks to perform some amazing, memorable DJ sets. The concept of back-to-back sets is awesome, but for A State Of Trance 2025, Armin Van Buuren and Maddix are bringing something new.
As the closing set for the event Armin and Maddix will each be going behind their own sets of decks to do a face-to-face set which has never been done at an ASOT event. Their DJ booths will be facing each other in what they’re describing as somewhat of a ‘DJ Battle’ where they’ll each be throwing in their own music and styles to bounce off each other. Armin will also be doing 2 back-to-back sets during the event alongside ARTBAT and Ben Hemsley.
In the lead up to this Armin and Maddix have been spending time in the studio together preparing for it and have been working on a long overdue collaboration. The track they’re working on is specifically being made with the face-to-face set in mind, so it’s got very trancey parts from Armin and acid from Maddix that should add to that ‘DJ Battle’ feel during the set.
With only a few weeks left till A State Of Trance 2025 the anticipation is building for what promises to be one of the best events of the year.
