Sagamore Pool Party MMW: Knee Deep in Miami

A high-energy poolside session takes over the Sagamore Hotel on Miami Beach as DJ Mag’s Miami Music Week residency moves into its Friday chapter.

Sagamore Pool Party MMW 2026: Knee Deep in Miami marks the third installment in DJ Mag’s five-day Sagamore series, spotlighting Hot Since 82, one of contemporary house music’s most influential selectors and producers. Known for his deep, rolling grooves and marathon DJ sets, Hot Since 82 has become a defining presence in modern house culture, with releases on labels such as Knee Deep In Sound, Crosstown Rebels, and Defected, and standout tracks like “Buggin’,” “Like You,” and “Tilted.” His sound bridges classic house foundations with modern club dynamics, earning him global recognition across festivals, underground clubs, and long-form daytime sessions.

The Knee Deep in Miami branding nods to the ethos Hot Since 82 has cultivated through his long-running Knee Deep In Sound label and event series, centered on immersive dancefloor experiences and forward-leaning house music. While the full lineup will be announced closer to the event, the day is designed for sustained momentum, balancing poolside energy with extended sets that build and evolve throughout the afternoon and evening.

Running from 1 to 11 p.m., the Friday pool party continues DJ Mag’s Miami Music Week arc at the Sagamore, following Defected’s Thursday takeover and leading into a Saturday session headlined by Danny Tenaglia, before Glitterbox closes out the weekend.
