It’s that time of year again: Miami Music Week, and that means Protocol Recordings‘ annual Miami-themed EP. Nicky Romero and his team release 5 brand new tracks to capture the spirit of Miami ahead of Nicky‘s mainstage Ultra Music Festival performance on Saturday the 25th. The selection kicks off with “Come What May” from newcomers CHRSTN, G.U.O.L & Auryn, which leans on the softer side of vocal progressive house with uplifting melodies, while next up Corey James and DJ TORA‘s “Phantom” slowly ups the ante with a dancefloor-oriented combination of rolling basslines and upbeat melodies. “Take You Home” from Lukas Vane provides a strong dose of grooves and tech house to really get the party going in full swing, which is followed by the aptly named deep, dark progressive track “Darkness” courtesy of PØP CULTUR. Rounding out the EP is Rushline‘s “Pull Up” with the perfect underground vibes for your after-after parties.
