Miguel Migs. Saturday, February 27. The Vagabond, 30 NE 14th St., Miami. Doors open at 10 p.m., tickets cost $10 in advance from wantickets.com. Age 21 and up. 305-379-0508; thevagabondmiami.com

For a town so obsessed with dance music, Miami has very few nights devoted to straight-up house. Not electro-, not tech-, just house. And so, besides Aquabooty’s epic events, Backdoor Bamby at the Vagabond has become a required stop for hungry house heads. Titans like Louie Vega and Jellybean Benitez have all become Saturday-night regulars there, and this weekend, Miguel Migs makes a stop at the club, not too long after his last one.

For the last five years, Migs’ real baby has been the label he founded, Salted, which pushes soulful dance music of all tempos, free of nitpicking genre constraints. The DJ/producer’s current tour supports his latest mix for the imprint, Get Salted Volume 2.

It’s funky, deep, gushy, all that stuff, and features tracks from Migs himself, as well as like-minded artists like Fred Everything and the inimitable vocalist Lisa Shaw. It’s a sound that bangs particularly well through the Vagabond’s main-floor sound system, and the gig will provide an intimate taste of Migs’ flavor before the WMC madness begins.

Good music, good cause…
Lisa Shaw – Big Beats for Big Change

Every 14 seconds a child loses a parent to AIDS. The effects are being felt in every thread of society in Sub-Saharan Africa. NextAid is responding by harnessing the power of music to raise funds for sustainable development projects that make a tangible impact. Using the beats of our generation to provide hope for the next!

Lisa Shaw supports the work of NextAid with this album called “Better Days”!

Lisa Shaw’s voice soars above crowded dancefloors at 2 a.m., enchanting listeners, only to disappear a few minutes later. ‘Free’ showcases Lisa’s illustrious voice through a well crafted journey of soulful vibes and bouncy gems, with producers Dave Warrin, Miguel Migs, and Tim K keeping it moving. These are good grooves for a good cause.

Last night (Monday 21st September) as part of the Giant Step series of events, Miguel Migs graced the decks of the Hudson Hotel, located on the corner of 58th Street and 9th Avenue. As usual, his mixture of smooth, groovy deep house blended well into the fabric of this classy hotel bar. What makes these regular Monday night parties so good is the colorful and energetic crowd, which encompasses a intriguing mixture of clubbers of all ages, backgrounds and personalities. Young, well educated music enthusiasts are dancing to the popular four/four beats amongst experienced, veteran clubbers also enjoying the range of music being blasted through the speakers by the talented DJ from San Francisco.

Miguel was joined halfway though his set by the very talented Lisa Shaw, who’s euphoric, sexy vocals resoundingly complimented the sounds produced by the man behind the decks and resonated through to the hotel lobby. Migs’record label, Salted Music, has seen a lot of success recently with Shaw’s single ‘Free’. Shaw’s powerful performance certainly added additional spice to the night, and both were very well received by a crowded room of partiers, who most likely will be nursing hangovers at some point Tuesday morning.

The Hudson Hotel is a great venue for these Monday night events and revelers can really feel at ease on the dance floor with it’s prominent, checkered disco flooring and cultured crowd. Giant Step have once again delivered with their creative selection of musical talent and are responsible for a number of upcoming events here at the Hudson Hotel as well as at other venues (including the one of Manhattan’s best dance clubs Cielo). These nights are often free if you RSVP and could easily be considered some of the best value parties this island has to offer on a Monday night.
