Groove Palace Debuts at Hyde Beach with a Night to Remember
Setting the Scene
On March 8, 2025, The Groove Palace stepped out of the digital realm and into real life — throwing its first-ever event at the iconic Hyde Beach at the SLS Hotel in South Beach. What started as a curated mix series and artist spotlight platform officially transformed into a living, breathing experience.
Nicky G B2B Perez: A Perfect Opening Statement
The night kicked off with a dynamic back-to-back between two local favorites, Nicky G and Perez. Known for their infectious grooves and deep crates, the duo brought their chemistry front and center, easing the crowd in with chunky house rollers and warm percussive rhythms that set the tone for what was to come.
prince! Solo Set: A Statement in Sound
Following the opener, Groove Palace founder prince! took over the decks solo for a headlining set that marked a milestone in his own journey. With a blend of hypnotic tech house, unreleased heaters, and signature transitions, the energy shifted from smooth to electric. It was a performance that felt personal and celebratory — an artist finally dancing inside the world he had built.
The Surprise B2B with Alves
Midway through the night, a surprise back-to-back with Alves elevated the energy even further. Fresh off his Groove Palace feature and a hot streak of Miami gigs, Alves brought an underground edge to the set. The unplanned collaboration between the two DJs created an undeniable synergy — groovy, unexpected, and packed with crowd-moving moments.
B3B Finale: Nicky G, Perez, and prince! Close the Night Together
As the night neared its end, a special B3B between prince!, Perez, and Nicky G served as the perfect send-off. With all three artists in sync and riding the night’s energy, the set flowed between high-impact tech house, funky edits, and playful crowd-pleasers. It was the kind of finish that didn’t feel rehearsed — it felt earned.
The Afterparty: Where Things Got Even Wilder
As often happens in Miami, the night didn’t stop at the venue. The afterparty, which came together naturally, extended the vibe even further — packed with dancers, artists, and close friends. It was a reminder that Groove Palace isn’t just an event or a brand — it’s a community forming in real time.
Looking Ahead
With a packed debut, standout sets, and an afterparty that sealed the deal, Groove Palace’s first event set the tone for what’s possible when curation meets real connection. The momentum didn’t stop here — just a few months later, the crew would take over a rooftop on the Fourth of July and double down on everything they had started.
