Watch Kaskade Keep a Secretive Boat Party Afloat Amid Torrential Miami Downpour

While thunderclouds cracked open above Miami and Ultra Music Festival fell silent due to a flash flooding warning, Kaskade found himself DJing beneath a plastic tarp on the deck of a swaying boat—and made it one of the most unforgettable moments of Miami Music Week.

The multi-Platinum DJ and producer teamed up with Mary Lou's to host a private pop-up party at sea attended by just 150, including members of EDM.com's staff. The intimate event was already one of the week's more sought-after, but it was the ensuing storm that that elevated the affair from exclusive to unforgettable.

As the rain intensified and wind whipped across the deck, crew members and fans quickly threw a tarp over the DJ booth, erecting an impromptu shelter. An unfazed Kaskade leaned into the moment, dropping his 2008 deep house classic "Raining" in a lighthearted nod to the chaos. At one point, he found himself DJing on just one functional CDJ.

The tarp seemingly sagged under the weight of rainwater as fans held it up themselves, transforming the pop-up into a shared memory of what happens when Mother Nature collides with dance music's collective boundless spirit. Somewhere between the thunder and the bassline, the scene turned into folklore.
