Danish trio WhoMadeWho seems to have a love affair with Miami. Tomas Hffding, Tomas Barford, and Jeppe Kjellberg performed at III Points back in October and then returned in December for an appearance at Rakastella. Now they're back in the Magic City for a Sunday set at Club Space. The group has always avoided being pigeonholed and currently is presenting a hybrid DJ set that combines live instrumentation with programmed effects. "Even though our albums have always been electronic the live stuff we've been doing is usually based around drums and two singers just rocking out with a four-to-the-floor beat," Hffding told New Times in November. Expect more of the same on Sunday on the terrace. 10 p.m. Sunday, at Club Space, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; 786-357-6456; clubspace.com. Tickets cost $15 to $40 via eventbrite.com. Jose D. Duran
Berlin-based British DJ-producer Stephanie Sykes stops at Treehouse on Sunday for an end-of-the-week shindig heavy on the techno beats.

She's held residencies at European nightclubs like Khidi and Corsica Studios. At Treehouse, she'll spin alongside Feph and Mr. Tron. 9 p.m. Sunday, at Treehouse 232 23rd St., Miami Beach; 786-318-1908; treehousemiami.com.

Currently sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat will face off the seventh-place Toronto Raptors at FTX Arena on Monday. Coach Erik Spoelstra and the players are hoping to keep the momentum going before April's playoffs. The Raptors are hardly looking like the team that won the championship in 2019, so the Heat should be able to send the Raptors back to the Mesozoic Era. 7:30 p.m. Monday, at FTX Arena, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 786-777-1000; ftxarena.com. Tickets cost $15 to $375 via ticketmaster.com. Ashley-Anna Aboreden

Best of all? You'll most definitely be in bed before sunrise. 10 p.m. Tuesday, at the Corner, 1035 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-961-7887; thecornermiami.com. Jose D. Duran
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens reboots a tradition started by industrialist James Deering, the estate's original owner, with a special screening of the 1986 comedy The Money Pit as part of its Vizcaya Late series.

Guitarist and singer-songwriter J.D. Simo stops at Culture Room on Wednesday. Before going solo, Simo fronted the Nashville rock band that bore his name and quietly fizzled out in 2017. He later released his first proper solo album, Off at 11, in 2019, followed by a self-titled album in 2020. His third album, Mind Control, dropped back in November. Joining Simo on Wednesday is Boston-bred band GA-20. 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, at Culture Room, 3045 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale; 954-564-1074; cultureroom.net. Tickets cost $15 via ticketmaster.com.
