Navigating Miami during the Ultra Music Festival (UMF) feels like being a character in a sun-soaked, beat-driven role-playing game. For its 23rd iteration, UMF unleashed a musical storm at Bayfront Park, headlined by luminaries like Swedish House Mafia, Marshmello, and Carl Cox, drawing a global fanbase.
Now, here’s the spin: The official 2023 aftermovie, titled ‘ULTRA: VICE CITY’, produced by the talented folks at Final Kid Films, took a fresh narrative route. We’re introduced to Nick, a festival-goer who’s not just here to dance but has missions to accomplish, intertwining his escapades with performances from heavyweights such as Fedde Le Grand and Nicky Romero.
One minute, he’s on a jetski whisking Oliver Heldens from Biscayne Bay, and the next, he’s in the midst of hardstyle anthems with Sub Zero Project. It’s a visual roller-coaster, swinging between performances, from the resonating bass of YOOKiE to the iconic vibes of Marshmello and David Guetta.
Closing out with a homage to the neon-lit Miami nights and the electric crowds, ‘ULTRA: VICE CITY’ showcases UMF in a light we’ve never seen before. It’s not just about the music; it’s about Miami, its spirit, and the adventures waiting at every corner. And as the vibes settle, a teaser: the waitlist for Ultra Music Festival 2024 is now open. Until next time, Miami.
