Think of a place combine good music, creative people, sunshine in winter and giant cuban sandwich with beer… What’s better than Miami Music Week and Winter Music Conference? In 2019 I toured with China’s one and only Carta as a music tour photographer in Miami, documenting the day in his life as DJ during Miami Music Week.

The daily schedule was packed with poolside shows, interviews, catching up with friends and fellow DJs in the music industry, along with a good meal with his mentors/friends — the legendary House DJ duo Chocolate Puma. We started the day at Spinnin’ Records Spinnin’ Hotel at Sixty Hotel on South Beach. Finishing up with a back to back session with Chocolate Puma at their A Journey Through House show at Shore Club on Collins Avenue.

What does it like to be a music photographer in Miami on tour? I have put together a mini album of the exciting 24 hours I toured with Carta. One thing for sure, it was filled with laughter, beer, good music and awesome friends. Ft. Chocolate Puma, Breathe Carolina, Terry Zhong, EDX, Spinnin’ Record and more.

Enjoy!

I have also followed Carta around at Amsterdam Dance Event ADE 2019. Check this post out

In November 2018, I went on tour with Justin Mylo as his tour photographer in China. During this mini weekend tour we visited Shanghai and Taiyuan, played at two epic clubs in China – Myst Shanghai and Dr. Oscar Taiyuan.

Apart from the shows, we also managed to squeeze in some tourist time in between two cities. Emilio and I share the same passion in good Chinese hotpot, exploring the city, after party and vodka (see below for a photo of him cuddling the beloved Grey Goose).

The production in both clubs are superb. I specially love the massive 10m height LED screen at Dr. Oscar. It was just perfect to showcase the visual show production made by Boxcat Design. Needless to say, both gigs were guaranteed to be filled with endless confetti, Co2 cannon and epic lasers. It is always a treat for tour photographer in China!

Fancy to see what’s it like to have a big production dance music festival in China? You can check out my post Electric Jungle Festival China in 2018
