I knew Apple Music’s Replay Gallery was going to be a moment the second I stepped out of the car, tugging down my black sequin mini skirt and hoping my heels and blazer read effortless instead of “holding on by a thread.” It was Miami Art Week, the cultural Olympics of art, music, and fashion, and Apple Music never shows up quietly. But the instant I walked toward Superblue, where the Replay Remix celebration was happening, I realized I had underestimated just how good the night was about to get.

The welcome staff greeted us with the kind of warmth you rarely get at high profile Miami Art Week events. They were smiling, helpful, genuinely excited, and before I could even adjust my bag, someone placed a mini Don Julio 1942 in my hand. I felt like the night had already peaked and I had not even made it inside.

Since I was attending the Saturday event, the Replay Remix party, I walked in fully expecting a soundtrack of the top songs of 2025. Apple Music Replay is the annual ritual that sums up your entire year in music, so naturally I braced myself for chart toppers and the biggest hits of 2025. Instead, the entire event leaned into nonstop house music. Great house. Addictive house. House that made you want to stay out until sunrise. But definitely not the Replay 2025 playlist I expected. It wasn’t a drawback, just a curveball.

Inside, Apple Music’s Replay Gallery unfolded like stepping into a live, breathing moodboard of 2025. Even though I arrived for the nighttime celebration, the installations from the daytime exhibition were still glowing in the background. The gallery was inspired by Apple Music Replay 2025, which transforms each listener’s personal soundtrack of the year into something visual, emotional, and collective. Walking through it felt like entering a memory palace filled with the year’s energy.

Gabriel Moses’ Shanaye, stretched across the wall with that signature cinematic beauty he is known for. Henry Taylor’s Untitled looked bold and intimate at the same time. Jeremy Deller’s Everybody in the Place felt perfect with the house-heavy soundtrack pulsing through the building. His History of the World piece drew people in like a map of someone’s inner musical universe.

Devon Turnbull’s OJAS x NNNN ON7 system brought the sound to life, sending bass waves through the crowd. Angel Otero’s The Sea felt massive and emotional, while Calida Rawles’ Echo My Moonlight shimmered with its soft, dreamlike palette. Tommy Malekoff’s The Bluffs flickered like an immersive memory, transporting you into another world entirely.

The Replay Remix party drew musicians, artists, stylists, influencers, editors, and Miami nightlife insiders. Moodymann and Crystallmess kept the energy soaring with DJ sets that turned the space into a full-blown dance floor. It was one of those nights where you couldn’t tell where the art ended and the party started, which is exactly what Miami Art Week is supposed to feel like.

Between the sound, the people, and the installations, the atmosphere felt electric. Everyone was dancing, talking, taking photos, drifting through the art, and creating their own collective Replay moment. Apple Music calls Replay a celebration of connection through music, and the party captured that perfectly.

Every time a reflective surface caught me, I saw my black sequin mini skirt twinkling back at me like it was part of the art. My heels survived. My blazer held its shape. My confidence definitely grew with every flash of light bouncing off my outfit. It felt like the perfect look for a night that mixed music, art, and Miami’s signature glittery chaos.

Even though the Replay Gallery had opened earlier for the public, Saturday night felt like stepping into Apple Music’s most exclusive creative universe. The installations, the sound, the crowd, and the atmosphere all blended into this immersive, emotional celebration of music and culture in 2025.

By the time the night wrapped, my feet were screaming, my camera roll was overflowing, and I had the kind of buzz under my skin that only comes from a perfect Miami Art Week event. I walked out craving a full replay of my Replay playlist even though none of the top songs of 2025 made an appearance at the party. Somehow, the night still felt like the perfect tribute to the year in music.
