DJ Stevie J and LIV on Sunday: Inside Miami Beach's Most Electric Residency

The Man Behind the Decks
There is a reason DJ Stevie J does not need a last name in Miami. Walk into LIV on any given Sunday and the evidence is everywhere — the packed floor, the energy that does not let up from doors to close, and a crowd that came specifically because his name was on the flyer.
Stevie J has built something rare in a city full of one-night-stand DJs and guest appearances. He has a genuine residency. Not a booking. Not a feature. A residency — the kind where the crowd comes back every single week because they know exactly what they are going to get and they cannot get it anywhere else.
LIV on Sunday at the Fontainebleau
LIV sits inside the Fontainebleau Miami Beach at 4441 Collins Avenue — one of the most iconic hotel properties in the country. The club itself is a 18,000 square foot nightlife destination with world-class sound, production that rivals concert stages, and a design that puts you in the middle of everything no matter where you stand.
But LIV on Sunday is different from the rest of the week. Thursday through Saturday, LIV operates as one of the top nightclubs on the planet — big-name headliners, high bottle minimums, the full velvet-rope experience. Sunday strips some of that away and replaces it with something better: energy.
The Details:
What Makes the Residency Different
Most club DJs play to the room. Stevie J plays to the moment. His sets blend hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeats, and dancehall in a way that reads the crowd in real time. He is not running through a pre-programmed set list — he is building the night song by song based on what the room is giving him back.
That is why the regulars keep coming back. Every Sunday is familiar but never the same. The transitions hit different. The drops land at the right time. And when he brings out surprise guests — which happens more often than not — the room goes from hot to legendary.
The Fontainebleau Experience
You are not just going to a club. You are going to the Fontainebleau.
That means you can turn Sunday into a full Miami Beach experience:
The Fontainebleau sits on Collins Avenue in the heart of Mid-Beach — walking distance from some of the best restaurants, bars, and beach access on the island. If you are flying in for the weekend, this is your base.
Who Shows Up
LIV on Sunday is not just a party — it is a networking event disguised as nightlife. On any given week you will find athletes, entertainers, music executives, entrepreneurs, and the kind of crowd that makes Miami the city everyone wants to be in.
The mix is what makes it. You have the bottle service tables full of birthday celebrations next to industry insiders next to tourists who are just trying to see what the hype is about. And Stevie J holds it all together from the booth.
How to Do LIV on Sunday Right
If you are going for the first time:
1. Get there by midnight. The room fills up fast. Do not show up at 2 AM thinking you are going to walk in. 2. Table service is worth it. If you are in a group of 4 or more, the table changes the experience. You have space, you have bottles, and you are in the mix. 3. Dress the part. Miami Beach nightlife has standards. Look good. This is not a casual Sunday anywhere else. 4. Download the LIV app or follow @livmiami on Instagram for event updates, guest lists, and surprise announcements. 5. Uber or ride there. Parking at the Fontainebleau fills up on Sundays. Save yourself the headache.
The Bigger Picture
DJ Stevie J is not just spinning records at LIV. He is defining what Sunday nightlife means in Miami Beach. In a city where clubs come and go and DJs rotate like seasons, he has built something with staying power — a weekly event that people plan trips around.
That is the WKND energy. Not just going out. Going out with intention. Knowing where to be, who is behind the decks, and why this Sunday is different from every other Sunday anywhere else in the country.
LIV on Sunday with DJ Stevie J. Every week. Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
