After nearly two years of a business dispute that spilled into dueling lawsuits, Insomniac, the promoter behind EDC, and the local operators behind Club Space have settled their legal dispute over control of Space and Factory Town.
The settlement involves the three local partners who took over Club Space in 2016: Link Miami Rebels duo Davide Danese and Jose Gabriel Coloma Cano, and III Points co-founder David Sinopoli. Together, they formed Space Invaders, the company that operates Club Space.
Insomniac and the Link Miami Rebels parties released the following joint statement:
“The parties have amicably resolved their dispute. Insomniac will continue to operate Club Space alongside David Sinopoli and maintain its commitment to Factory Town. Davide Danese and Coloma Cano will continue to operate Jolene, along with David Sinopoli. Davide Danese and Coloma Cano will also undertake new projects.”
A New Chapter for Miami’s Premier Venues
Club Space and Factory Town are the two top electronic music venues in Miami, shaping the city’s dance music calendar throughout the year and playing critical roles during Miami Music Week and Art Basel. Since opening in 2000, Club Space has built a global reputation for marathon parties on its Terrace. Its 24-hour liquor license allows weekend events to regularly stretch past sunrise and well into the following day.
Factory Town has quickly built a similar presence on a much larger scale. The seven-acre outdoor venue in Hialeah operates more like a festival site than a traditional nightclub, hosting separate artists and events across multiple stages at the same time. Since opening in 2022, it has become one of Miami Music Week’s primary destinations.
Resolving the Legal Impasse
The partnership with Insomniac began in 2019 when the company acquired a 51% stake in Space Invaders. According to Insomniac’s later lawsuit, its involvement helped increase Club Space’s revenue by approximately 700%. That success eventually led the parties to work together on Factory Town, with Insomniac committing more than $40 million toward the venue.
The relationship began breaking down in 2024, leading to a series of lawsuits and counterclaims regarding control and financial obligations. Following mediation and a failed settlement attempt in 2025, the parties returned to negotiations to finalize the current agreement. For Miami’s dance music community, the biggest takeaway is continuity. The venues central to Miami Music Week, Art Basel, and the city’s year-round electronic music scene can now move forward without the dispute hanging over them.
