ChaseWest Presents Chaste at Factory Town
ChaseWest presents Chaste as part of Factory Town Music Week 2026, running five nights from March 25-29.
The event brings together dance music's leading artists, labels, and party brands across five stages, with genres spanning House, Deep House, and Melodic Techno.
Dates: March 25-29, 2026 Venue: Factory Town, Miami Genre Focus: House, Deep House, Melodic Techno
Tickets: available at DICE
From a musical perspective, the week often reflects trends already developing in clubs. Afro-influenced house, groove-based tech house and melodic house continue to appear regularly in DJ sets across Miami events.
While the scale of the week can make it difficult to follow every party, the concentration of label showcases makes it useful for observing how different segments of the house scene position themselves before the European summer season.
