Miami, Where Are My Keys?

Experience a unique music event on the sands of Historic Virginia Key Beach when The Electric Pickle Company in partnership with Carlos Llanos and PL0T present Where Are My Keys?

What began as a remote two-day event during Art Basel 2016, is now being brought back for the second time to a scenic, lush, secluded area of Virginia Key, where music lovers will have the opportunity to congregate in an undiscovered corner of old Miami, while enjoying the sounds of today’s most innovative DJs.

The impressive lineup for this edition of ‘Where Are My Keys?’ includes Kompakt-frequenter Rebolledo, Life and Death mastermind DJ Tennis, psychedelic-electronic act Red Axes and more. 

Yes, the music will be lively, trippy and unforgettable! Upon arriving on Sunday, guests will immediately be welcomed by infectious music and the vibrant colors of the Virginia Key scenery. For 12 hours, 3 artists will take guests on a musical journey, with no set restrictions – just an open dance floor in the warm sand. Get your tickets here.

Since opening their doors in 2008, the Electric Pickle has become Miami’s premier boutique music venue. Notorious for pushing boundaries with forward-thinking artists, the unique nightclub has earned its name as one of the ‘Top 10 Nightclubs in the US’ by Rolling Stone Magazine, as well as ‘Top 25 Nightclubs in the World’ by Resident Advisor.

For more than 10 years, PL0T has been a major contributor to the underground dance music scene in Miami, promoting events in the city’s best venues, debuting and nurturing a number of international acts in the area – including: Seth Troxler, Mano Le Tough, DJ Tennis, Job Jobse, and Bob Moses to name a few. Promoters at heart; driven by a passion to divulge music, moved by the need to create experiences that have long lasting impact on people’s lived memories.
