Dim Mak Miami 2018 Recap Video Goes Live

Steve Aoki has proven to be a cornerstone in the EDM community. Since its inception in 1996, Dim Mak has been one of the strongest, most well-known labels in the industry. Paving the way for the industry that we know and love today, Dim Mak has deep roots in providing the dopest sounds on the planet. Accomanied by the vast amount of talent that has both risen to fame and maintained their dominance on the label, everything they touch is must listen to music. In this instance, we have some must watch video footage of a Miami 2018 recap video. Take an inside look at what went down at the Dim Mak party at Miami Music Week!

With talent ranging from Aoki himself to Dada Life, Carnage, Cheat Codes and more, the video is a sure fire fomo builder and prep to purchase your tickets for next year. Oh, and Shaq makes an appearance.

Peep the Video below and get ready to rage at your desk, bed or wherever you are.

Dim Mak’s been doing this longer than most people realize

Steve Aoki started Dim Mak back in the 90s as a punk and hardcore label way before it became synonymous with EDM, which honestly makes its evolution into a dance music powerhouse kind of wild when you think about it. Not many labels manage to completely pivot genres and still keep their credibility intact decades later. That history is part of why a Dim Mak Miami party still feels like a bigger deal than your average label showcase — there’s actual legacy behind it, not just a logo slapped on a stage.

Recap videos are basically a whole marketing strategy now

A slick aftermovie like this one does double duty — it’s a highlight reel for people who were actually there, and it’s straight-up bait for everyone who wasn’t, dangling next year’s Miami Music Week party in front of them a full twelve months early. Throwing in a random Shaq cameo is exactly the kind of chaotic, unexpected detail that makes people actually share the video instead of just watching it once and forgetting about it.

Miami Music Week is its own kind of chaos

If you’ve never been, Miami Music Week is basically a full week of overlapping label showcases, pool parties, and warehouse sets happening across the entire city all at once, and Dim Mak’s party is consistently one of the ones people plan their whole week around. Getting the recap edited and posted just weeks after the actual event matters too — the faster it drops, the more it rides the wave of people still talking about MMW instead of getting buried under everyone else’s aftermovies a month later.
