It just shows the club's size and that it's become a home.
I think Dice was the start of where we are going. "We have our locals, and now we're going to have international talents like Dice and up-and-coming acts from all ranges of sound and size. "His sound is perfect for the terrace," says Club Space co-owner David Sinopoli. Loco Dice has held numerous residencies at clubs that have invited him to bring his rough-around-the-edges track selection to the fore, including Ibiza hot spots DC-10, Ushuaïa, and Amnesia, as well as Tribehouse in Düsseldorf. Back then, it was progressive music, and I came from a completely different style." "So I had to play my way up and convince them that what I was playing was good music while being more open-minded and not so stiff. "I had a hard time in Germany with the acceptance coming and looking like hip-hop," he goes on. "I see Space as my home," he tells New Times. "I called it a residency way back, but now it's official. Third, and most important, the DJ must keep the audience going.ĭice’s résumé checks all the boxes. Second, the DJ needs to be of the garden variety to sway any crowd but refined enough to appease the diehards. Miami's Oscar G has spun a residency at Space, as did New York City's marathon king, Danny Tenaglia.īut choosing a Club Space resident isn't an easy task.įirst, there must be rapport between the club's management, the headliner, and the seven local resident DJs. Since opening in 2000, the Eleventh Street nightclub bestowed upon countless dance-music legends the title of "resident," i.e., a DJ employed by a venue to spin regularly for a finite duration. The fact that he's only performing at Space's venues this week isn't a coincidence. In addition to the extended set at Space, he'll spin at the downtown club's outdoor venue, Space Park, in Little Haiti. Luckily for Dice, he only booked two shows during the MMW mayhem.
Nevertheless, the Düsseldorf-based producer is ready for the task.īut before the Space gig, several meetings and a muay thai session await him.
But in about 48 hours, he'll face a seemingly impossible task: a 24-hour back-to-back set between him and his Italian counterpart Marco Carola on Club Space's terrace.ĭice's two decades behind the decks should help, but there's no blueprint to prepare for a marathon set. He looks well-rested and crisp, clad in sweatpants, a white T-shirt, and a snapback. In the midst of Miami Music Week earlier this year, Loco Dice appears zen at the East Hotel in Brickell.
