West Yorkshire’s finest takes over the Sagamore Hotel pool on Friday, March 27 for Knee Deep In Miami. This is the annual South Beach showcase from Hot Since 82’s own Knee Deep In Sound imprint. From 1 pm to 11 pm, the Collins Avenue pool transforms into one of the most sought-after rooms of Miami Music Week. Moreover, the lineup includes Prunk b2b Luuk van Dijk, Demi Riquísimo, Mai Iachetti, and Ronnie Spiteri. Therefore, expect ten hours of deep, groove-driven house under the South Beach sun. This then continues into the warm Miami night.
Hot Since 82: The Deep House Architect from Yorkshire
Daley Padley — known to the world as Hot Since 82 — was born in Hemsworth, West Yorkshire in, as the name suggests, 1982. He came up through the UK’s underground house circuit and built a reputation as a DJ with an instinctive feel for the hypnotic, slow-burning end of the house spectrum. Eventually, his productions began landing with the kind of regularity that marks out a career rather than a moment. His tracks have that quality that the best house music always has: they work at 3 am in a dark room, but they also hold up in the light.
In 2013 he launched Knee Deep In Sound, a label that reflects his taste precisely. The label offers deep, considered, sophisticated house and techno that prioritises the long game over instant gratification. Moreover, the imprint has become one of the more respected corners of the house ecosystem. It releases music that sounds great on the floor and holds up on repeated listening. It’s the kind of label that a DJ builds when they’ve found their sound and want to protect it.
His career high points span both the club world and the mainstream. Residencies at Hï Ibiza and Amnesia established him as a fixture of the island’s summer season. Also, sets at Glastonbury, Coachella, and Tomorrowland demonstrated crossover appeal without compromising his underground credentials. And repeated appearances in the DJ Mag Top 100 confirmed that he’s built a genuinely global audience for music that never compromises on taste.

Knee Deep In Miami: What to Expect
The Knee Deep In Miami pool party has become one of the signature annual events of Miami Music Week. It is a label showcase that doubles as a genuine statement of intent from Hot Since 82 and the Knee Deep In Sound family. The Sagamore Hotel pool is one of the original MMW pool party venues. It is a Collins Avenue institution that has hosted seminal South Beach days throughout the festival’s history. Notably, the combination of the venue’s outdoor setup, the reliable South Beach weather in late March, and a curated lineup drawn from the label’s extended family makes this one of the most consistent bookmarks in the MMW calendar.

Supporting Acts
Prunk b2b Luuk van Dijk is a pairing of two Dutch producers who occupy the same deep, groove-forward house territory as their host. Luuk van Dijk in particular has been one of the most consistent rising forces in the space, and b2b with Prunk is a natural fit. Ronnie Spiteri brings his Kaluki Musik sensibility to the bill — punchy, driving, UK-inflected house that bridges the gap between underground and peak time. Mai Iachetti and Demi Riquísimo open the day with the kind of considered, mood-setting selections that the Knee Deep In Sound aesthetic demands.
Venue: Sagamore Hotel Pool
The Sagamore Hotel sits at 1671 Collins Ave in Miami Beach — right in the heart of the Art Deco district, steps from the ocean, and a short walk from most MMW hotel clusters. The pool area is an open-air space perfectly proportioned for a day-to-night pool party: large enough to hold a serious crowd, intimate enough that the music always feels connected to the room. The event is 21+. Doors open at 1 pm.
Tickets
Tickets are available via Eventbrite. Miami Music Week pool parties at the Sagamore sell out quickly, particularly for headliners of this calibre — book early.
