Six Artists You Shouldn’t Miss on Groove Cruise Miami 2026
Wakyin
If you want a dose of afro-house grooves with a Caribbean flair, look no further than Wakyin. He’s been on a tear in recent years with tracks like “Beso (Fruta Fresca)” with Carola Vives, “Second Chances” with Chasity and PitchBLK, and “Ice 2 Water,” not to mention his fantastic album Caras. That’s not the only way that Wakyin has impressed, though, as he’s taken the stage at festivals like EDC Orlando, Escape Psycho Circus, and more, putting his quality grooves on display the entire time.

Sarah de Warren
It’s impossible to ignore the power that Sarah de Warren brings to the scene. She continued her ascent to the top last year by dropping off a number of insane tracks like “Girls Go Freek” with Maddix and Reinier Zonneveld, “You Know What I Mean” with Frankyeffe, “On Repeat” with Nifra, and “Dark Skies” with Popof. A collab with Cosmic Gate helped cap Sarah de Warren’s release run in 2025, and she’s proving to be one of the hottest acts to catch in the scene.
After dominating the decks during Groove Cruise Miami last year, Sarah de Warren is one you shouldn’t miss this time around. Don’t sleep on her set!
Max Low
Rising house duo Max Low has been on a tear in the scene lately. Not only has this Los Angeles-based duo taken the stage at major festivals like EDC Las Vegas and Day Trip Festival, but they’ve also been found aboard Groove Cruise Miami, bringing plenty of fun along with them wherever they go. Add in some of their new music from last year, including tracks like “My Addiction” and “Everybody” with Casmalia, and you have the recipe for a fiery performance on the ship you shouldn’t miss.

GAWP
GAWP is one of the best tastemakers in the house music scene, and he’s delivered a steady stream of high-quality releases and dancefloor-filling sets for years. Last year alone saw him drop tunes like “Set It Off” with The Melody Men, “Heater,” “Feel Alone,” and “PROPANE” with Saxton (UK). This UK artist has been hitting spots around the US for a bit, but his set on Groove Cruise Miami is sure to be incredible.
