DJ Mag brings its Miami Music Week pool party series to the Sagamore Hotel on Wednesday, March 25, with Cloonee headlining a six-act bill that runs from 1 pm to 11 pm. Furthermore, he leads a lineup that keeps the pool moving from afternoon into night with barely a dip in energy. Joining him poolside: Ben Sterling, Gio Elia, Obskür, OMAR+, and Salomé Le Chat. As a result, you get ten hours of high-energy tech-house and driving club music under the South Beach sun. Tickets from $63, 21+.
Cloonee: The Tech-House Force Building His Way to the Top
Cloonee has spent the last several years building one of the most consistent trajectories in tech-house — the kind of rise that rests less on hype and more on sheer hours he logs at the decks. In addition, he keeps that momentum by choosing shows that play to his strengths rather than chasing trends. His sets hit energetic peaks, stay technically sharp, and aim for maximum dancefloor impact: driving kicks, skippy percussion, and basslines that lock into your chest and do not let go. He is the kind of DJ you can put on for a four-hour opening set, and the crowd will feel exhausted by the time the headliner arrives — in the best possible way.
The evidence sits in his recent booking trajectory. For example, he played EDC Orlando 2025 on the Neon Garden stage and headlined Music On Festival Amsterdam 2024. He also turned his 2022 nine-hour set at Club Space Miami — running from 7 am to 9 am over a marathon morning session — into a YouTube staple that racked up over 1.3 million views and became one of the defining videos of that year’s MMW cycle. Consequently, Miami clearly agrees with him, and he clearly agrees with Miami. The Sagamore appearance on Wednesday feels like a natural continuation of that relationship.
He stays closely associated with Repopulate Mars, Lee Foss’s label that stands as one of the most reliable homes for forward-thinking tech-house over the past decade. Notably, his productions sit squarely in the Repopulate aesthetic: functional, groove-heavy, and built to work at peak time. His DJ sets draw on a broader palette but always come back to that same core — the kind of music that makes rooms lose their minds and keeps them there.

DJ Mag’s Sagamore Pool Party Series
DJ Mag has run a multi-day pool party takeover at the Sagamore Hotel during Miami Music Week for several years, and the series has become one of the more dependable strands of MMW’s daytime programming. Moreover, each edition reinforces the Sagamore’s status as a go-to daytime destination for house and techno heads. Each day brings a different headliner with a full supporting cast built around them, giving the series a coherent identity while keeping each event distinct. Meanwhile, the Sagamore pool remains one of South Beach’s best outdoor venues: open air, well-proportioned, and positioned right in the heart of the Art Deco district on Collins Ave. For Wednesday’s edition, Cloonee stands as the obvious centrepiece, but the supporting cast deserves equal attention.

Set times are estimated. However, you should check the Eventbrite event listing for the confirmed schedule.
Ben Sterling is a UK producer with a string of releases on Crosstown Rebels, and he built a reputation on deep, rolling underground house that builds slowly and pays off over the long run — a good foil for Cloonee’s more explosive style. Gio Elia has been building momentum through a run of quality releases and festival bookings, and he continues to add weight to mid and upper tier festival lineups. Salomé Le Chat opens the afternoon with selections that set the mood for what unfolds over the next ten hours, and she lays down the groundwork for the heavier sets that follow.
