Perhaps the musical highlight of the entire weekend was Justice's highly anticipated performance. Their live performance featured timeless dance classics and energetic songs from their latest album, hyperdramaexpertly combined with some of the most cutting-edge set designs in the industry. An avalanche of lights and lasers danced to take on new shapes as the duo's iconic silhouettes anchored the performance.
Another highlight was Jamie xx's set. He played songs from his new album, in wavesincluding hits like “All You Children” and “Waited All Night.” The renowned producer demonstrated his tastemaking skills by combining a variety of tempos to keep us on our toes while creating an innovative and avant-garde experience.

Beyond music, III Points also provided a variety of artistic experiences. Inside Mana Wynwood's warehouse, “Mokiworld” Mokibaby It transported us to another dimension, full of chrome, rainbows and retro-futuristic aesthetics.
The warehouse also featured a skating rink, the “Full Moon Motel” which houses Red Bull's Unforseen stage, the III Points Players Club and 444, a special L-Acoustics x Apple Music stage with three exclusive four-hour sets per night.
III Points described 444 as “a dance floor outside of time and space,” featuring sets from Seth Troxler, D33 with Danny Daze and Maher Daniel, Yu Su and more. The space acted as a powerful ode to sound culture, with masterfully tuned speakers placed around the room.
“Unlike conventional mixing, which combines audio between the left and right channels, L-ISA enables a sound experience in which the stereo image is precisely distributed throughout the room; positioned, scaled and moved with infinite flexibility, within a three-dimensional space”, III Needles explained about the 444 specifications.
