Miami greats
2009
As so many had before him, Jamie Jones snuck into the hearts of MMW attendees with sunkissed vibes. While the vocal house tune fast became a summer anthem, he had crafted something a little moodier than the usual suspects.
2010
As the last note of the melody began to repeat it was clear this was a nailed-on banger, the success of which was high-lighted in follow-up ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’. It only took the vocals of Pharrell Williams to make it a global hit.
2011

2013
Label bosses Claude VonStroke and Justin Martin first played this at the Dirtybird Players BBQ, and before Laidback Luke had chance to drop it during his set at Ultra Music Festival it had already become the anthem of the week.
2015
