DJ Irie is the Official DJ of the Miami Heat, but he’s also one of the most sought after DJs in the world now spinning parties for Hollywood A-listers and at Miami hotspots such as Louis and Liv. But the big-hearted DJ also has a passion for giving back to the local youth in his community. Irie teamed up with Ludus CEO Hamed Wardak to host a holiday party Dec. 15 to support the Irie Foundation, which raises money to get Miami kids the resources they need to study and stay in school. The party was held at a private home in Miami Beach, which was transformed into a winter wonderland complete with multiple Christmas trees, sexy South Beach elves and even faux snow fluttering through the air. Guests sipped Stoli Vodka cocktails served with dry ice from Premier Beverage, snacked on sushi and kicked back poolside where models did yoga poses in stretchy outfits by Ludus athletics. And of course, a few of Irie’s famous friends came out to support the event including, Alonzo and Tracey Mourning, Miami Dolphin Reggie Bush and Miami Heat owners Micky and Madeleine Arison.
