It's that time of year again... Miami Music Week. Host to the Winter Music Conference and Ultra Music Festival. For 10 days, Miami plays host to the biggest DJs and producers in the world while they dominate pool parties, music conferences, UMF, after parties and more. This year, Ultra brings more the the table than ever before with a MASSIVE lineup spread across the first and last weekend of MMW. While weekend 1 has come an gone, weekend 2 is around the corner.
If you choose to attend Ultra over the hundreds of public and private pool parties that coincide with the festival, you'll likely find yourself looking for more to do after the music stops at midnight and Bayfront closes for the night. That's why we've compiled a list of the best after parties for Ultra for each day after the festival.
Catch the list for weekend 2 with links to tickets after the jump:
Weekend 2:
When and Where: Space Nightclub (21+), 11:00 pm Fri - 2:00 pm Sat
Why: There needs to be no "why" as to why this is THE ONLY after party you should be attending on Friday. You have the legends Eric Prydz and Pete Tong in the same room as Prydz's rising prodigy Fehrplay to satifsy you until the early hours of the morning, followed by a back to back set of Joris Voorn vs Nic Fanciulli to take the real party animals into the afternoon of the next day. If that doesn't satisfy every musical taste and send you into a progressive house trance, nothing will. No seriously. Go to this party. We've never been more excited to see a lineup like this.

When and Where: Arkadia Nightclub (21+), 11:00 pm - 5:00 am
Why: If you haven't already heard about the epic yacht party Gareth Emery threw earlier this week, then you might like to know that the man knows how to lay down a set and throw and excellent party at the same time. Since Gareth won't be performing at Ultra, he's bringing his label mates and throwing some excellent Miami Music Week parties instead. This is definitely going to be a fun party, and it's on the cheap side of things for what to expect in Miami.

Why: If you were at Ultra all day during Sunday, you will have had the opportunity to check out the A State of Trance 600 presentation at the Mega Structure stage. If for some reason you missed Armin, or you just need to see him again like any good trance fan would want to do, you can catch him and another upcoming act W&W (who might have played a set too early in the day for you late risers) at Story to close out your epic weekend.
Warning: Uplifting trance may make you emotional and you might realize that reality will be coming back once you leave the nightclub. If that's the case, take the time to reflect on how fortunate you were to have been able to be in Miami during Miami Music Week, press replay on your favorite sets, relax on your trip home, and cherish the memories forever.
