Groove Palace x Coconut Groove Lit Up the Rooftop on July 4th
Coconut Groove x The Groove Palace Flyer for July 4, 2025 — SipSip Rooftop, Coconut Grove
A New Kind of Independence Day Party
On July 4, 2025, The Groove Palace and Coconut Groove joined forces to throw a sunset-to-moonlight rooftop celebration at SipSip in Coconut Grove — and it was anything but ordinary. With tropical heat, custom cocktails, a stacked lineup, and a dedicated crowd, the party blended holiday energy with underground flair in true Miami style.
Fulano Opens the Floor (2–4 PM)
Kicking things off in the early afternoon was Fulano, whose soulful, vibey set captured the laid-back mood of the rooftop while setting the foundation for what would become a full-blown dance affair. His selections eased guests into the groove, building slowly while palm trees swayed overhead.
Dancing Through the Rain (3–5 PM)
As the party warmed up, Miami's unpredictable summer skies added a twist. On-and-off rain showers swept through between 3 and 5 PM — but instead of dampening the mood, it added magic. With no thunder or lightning and barely a breeze, guests embraced the moment, dancing through the soft rain while the DJ booth stayed lit. It was a cinematic vibe: raindrops on sunglasses, soaked shirts, hands in the air.
By 6 PM, the clouds had parted, the umbrellas peeled back, and the July sun poured over a rooftop crowd that hadn’t missed a beat.
prince! B2B Swifi (4–6 PM): Firestarter Energy
As the sun climbed higher, prince! and Swifi stepped up for a back-to-back that flipped the switch. Their chemistry behind the decks brought a new level of energy to the rooftop — weaving through Latin-infused rollers, funky tech house, and percussive club weapons. The set, which was recorded live, became one of the highlights of the day, drawing phones in the air and feet to the floor.
Alves Takes Over (6–8 PM): Headliner Heat
At golden hour, Alves took the decks and delivered a headline set that felt like fireworks in audio form. His blend of groovers, unreleased cuts, and signature minimal flow had the rooftop completely locked in. The entire performance was recorded, capturing the peak-time magic that Alves is becoming known for.
Nicky G B2B Alex Musci (8–Close): Grand Finale Groovers
Closing the night with finesse and flavor, Nicky G and Alex Musci went back-to-back in front of a packed, high-energy dance floor. Their selections bridged funky edits, tech bangers, and after-hours minimal in a way that felt perfectly timed. The sun had set, the rooftop was glowing, and their flow kept the party buzzing until the last record dropped.
Signature Cocktails, Custom Merch, and Heat-Proof Vibes
This wasn’t just about the music. The Groove Palace x Coconut Groove team curated specialty drinks (including the crowd-favorite Victor’s Vodka Kool-Aid) and handed out custom fans and popsicles to keep guests cool. Branded visuals, laid-back hospitality, and a clear community vibe tied it all together — no fluff, just flavor.
The Afters at Sandbar: Lights Down, Volume Up
As the rooftop wrapped, the story didn’t end — it just moved down the block. The official afterparty at Sandbar picked up where SipSip left off, swapping skyline views for a packed late-night session with even more music and mischief. DJs from earlier in the day kept the groove alive alongside surprise guests, and the vibe turned from sunny celebration to gritty, intimate rave. For many, this was the moment the holiday turned legendary.
The Rooftop Was Just the Beginning
From the early crate-digging vibes of Fulano to the euphoric close with Nicky and Musci — and a rowdy afterparty to top it off — the day flowed like one seamless journey. With recorded sets from prince! and Alves in the vault and more parties on the horizon, it’s clear Groove Palace and Coconut Groove aren’t just throwing events — they’re creating moments that stick.
