Chippendales at Mansion

Until recently, if you were a woman who wanted to watch studly, ripped men tear away their pants and do a sexy dance you’d probably have go watch Magic Mike for the millionth time. But get ready ladies, because Chippendales, the “male revue” famous for its shows in Las Vegas has partnered with Mansion and will transform the nightclub into a ladies paradise filled with choreographed dance numbers and of course, sexy men sporting bulging biceps and bow-ties. If you’re not able to catch it this weekend fear not, because the Chippendales-Mansion collaboration will be running on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from January 9 until January 25.

Holy Ghost! at Bardot

Holy Ghost!, a colorfully upbeat New York duo, have recently dabbled in the new disco revival, and though there are few that can truly master the genre, this duo certainly knows how to do it right. Between the endless remixes they’ve done for esteemed artists such as Moby and LCD Soundsystem, as well as their own hits like “Okay” and “Wait and See” Holy Ghost! is bound to impress Miami party goers as they perform at Bardot this Saturday.

Guy Gerber at STORY

Guy Gerber is part of that rare breed of electronic dance music producers who has always done his own thing, skirting on the edge of whatever scene he’s in. With his intricate use of harmony, contemplative moods and trippy, shoegaze-inspired sounds Gerber will be taking over STORY this Saturday and it will certainly be a show you don’t want to miss out on.
