Miami isn't all about Chloe bags and designer ballet slippers; some people just want to shake their asses till 7 a.m. and don't care who sees them doing so. But keep in mind that the trendy will take over Miami this week, so unless you plan on hiding out at Churchill's, you're still going to need hair wax, black jeans and a tight T-shirt adorned with fancy paint splatters. Following are 20 of the more-relaxed Winter Music Conference parties, where you can be yourself — or at least yourself with a popped collar. Unless otherwise noted, most events will begin at 10 p.m.

WEDNESDAY

The Fifth

San Francisco-based DJ Miguel Migs will deliver soulful, deep-house licks when he celebrates the release of his new album, Those Things. Old-school funk will collide with new-school electro-dance all night. Julius Papp, DJ Mfr, Joshua Heath and Lisa Shaw also will perform. Tickets cost $20 at Aquabooty.com.

Parkwest Nightclub

Grammy award-winning DJ and mixer Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia, formerly of Deep Dish, will set up shop at Parkwest. Sci + Tec label artists such as Loco Dice, Tiefschwarz, Simi and many others will drop their tech-filled beats on the crowd until 5 a.m. Tickets cost $35 at Wanttickets.com.

The Pawn Shop Lounge

THURSDAY

The Pawn Shop Lounge

London-born Desyn Masiello was named "future DJ hero" by the crème de la crème of DJs in DJ Magazine's Top 100 poll.

Tickets to this show also grant access to the Kompact vs. RA show featuring Brazilian DJ Gui Boratto in the next room. Tickets cost $25 at Madeevent.com.

SOBE Live

Studio A

Depending on your perspective, this show will begin late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.

Tickets cost $10 at Wantickets.com.

Surfcomber Hotel

Richie Hawtin, Dubfire and a few other DJs will host the official WMC kickoff pool party, so grab your trunks or banana hammock — this is Miami, after all.

Zafiro Nightclub

The dance floor is atop an aquarium and porn stars will be in attendance. 'Nuff said. Tickets cost $15 at Wantickets.com.

FRIDAY

Gem

The name of this event, Miami Gets Deep, is an understatement. Marques Wyatt, Mark Farina, Danny Krivit and the other performing DJs are among some of the most-forward players in the global deep-house scene. Tickets cost $20 at Deep-la.com.

The Pawn Shop Lounge

Gabriel and Dresden first met at the 2001 Winter Music Conference, so it's no surprise that they'd keep returning to the event to put on some of the best DJ sets Miami sees all year. The duo has won five WMC awards and is nominated for four more this year, including Best Global and Best American DJs. Tickets cost $25 at Madeevent.com.

Studio A

Tonight, he will share a bill with Nic Fanciulli, a reverb-heavy techno king who is his partner in the DJ tag team One+One. Tickets cost $20 at Embracemiami.com.

Tickets cost $30 at Wantickets.com.

The Vagabond

Trip-hop act Groove Armada, whose "I See You Baby" and "Easy" have appeared on Billboard's Hot Dance Club chart, will perform with '90s big-beat innovators The Crystal Method.
