Marco Carola Live from Space Miami
Miami. The land of bottle service techno and lads in unbuttoned floral shirts seeking nirvana. Space Miami is where you go when you want to cosplay as a European underground head while sipping a $30 vodka soda. Absolute scenes of trust fund kids pretending they understand the groove, properly having a laugh.
The sun creeping through the terrace blinds as the bass threatens to shatter the aviator sunglasses of everyone in the front row. Clocking in at a rock-solid 127.4 BPM, this Marco Carola live set is a masterclass in low-end manipulation. Heavily anchored in 12A and 7A Camelot keys, he keeps the progression relentlessly tight. The energy sits firmly in the sub-bass, making it a proper rumbler that demands a massive soundsystem.
The Marco Carola Space Miami tracklist is sorted with deep tech-house rollers. Dropping Nick Curly's "Underground" alongside that GHEIST remix of "Bones" by Oliver Koletzki & HVOB shows he’s digging beyond the Beatport top ten to find the real gems. The techno journey kicks off smooth with the opening track, Jansons & Liz Cass's "Less Ordinary (Extended Mix)". The highlight has to be the inevitable crowd-pleaser CamelPhat & Elderbrook's "Cola" getting the posers moving, before wrapping up an epic arc with the massive closing track, Pryda's "Mirage".
