Miami Music Week welcomes the return of Pendulum, Steve Lawler’s globally respected project rooted in quality, balance, and deeper musical exploration.

For this special MMW edition at MODE, Steve Lawler brings the signature Pendulum sound to Downtown Miami. Expect a journey through deeper shades of house, layered percussion, tribal rhythms, and hypnotic grooves that connect movement with atmosphere. Pendulum is about equilibrium on the dancefloor, where energy builds naturally and the music speaks with intention.

Joining Lawler is Eli Fola performing a Hybrid Live set, blending electronic production with live instrumentation and Afro-inspired rhythms for a truly immersive experience. Also on the lineup is Ella Romand with her Hybrid Live performance, bringing textured, melodic depth and organic elements that align seamlessly with the Pendulum ethos.

This is not a typical peak-time sprint. It is a carefully curated progression designed for those who understand the power of space, rhythm, and connection.

Pendulum. Miami Music Week. One night of balance at MODE.
