Tune Darling: Michelle Sanchez Gives Us The Buzz On The Best Miami Cocktails

Long gone are the VIP bottle days where you found yourself clustered with celebs and the nouveau riche. We like to think of those as hen houses for tourists. Of course the mega clubs like Story and LIV are still King, but Miami’s locals have embraced smaller venues such as Bardot, Treehouse and Electric Pickle as staples to their weekend disconnect. It’s about the dance, not about being seen.

How has being a gay woman in a male dominated industry of nightlife  work to your benefit

It’s funny because I had a business partner I would always laugh with and say ” DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO BE A WOMAN IN A MALE DOMINATED INDUSTRY?” I’ve never wanted my professional life to be defined by my sexuality. How limiting. Instead I still am very much a woman who can use all her assets. I just happen to have an affinity for the same sex. When you don’t wear it at the forefront of your business it plays no real role. The benefit comes with the ability to know what both sexes want and capitalize on that awareness.

Kloud Nine was created as a platform to produce events supporting acts we liked, not just DJs. In 2014 I will continue working with one of my favorite artists, Tensnake who has an album coming out called GLOW. The whole album is brilliant and he’s genuinely an awesome person. Oh – and anything London Grammar.
