\n\tInsomniac Events has reached a settlement that will keep the global dance music company involved in two Miami venues following a protracted legal battle with a group of the city\u2019s club operators.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a joint statement to Billboard <\/em>on Friday (July 10), reps for Insomniac and business partners David Sinopoli<\/strong>, Davide Danese<\/strong> and Jose Gabriel Coloma Cano<\/strong> say they \u201chave amicably resolved their dispute.\u201d Insomniac, partially owned by Live Nation, previously worked with the trio of men to run Miami\u2019s Club Space and Factory Town venues until a legal fight broke out two years ago.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cInsomniac will continue to operate Club Space alongside David Sinopoli and maintain its commitment to Factory Town,\u201d the reps say of the settlement. \u201cDavide Danese and Coloma Cano will continue to operate Jolene, along with David Sinopoli.\u00a0 Davide Danese and Coloma Cano will also undertake new projects.\u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2019, Insomniac acquired an ownership stake in Club Space, at that point co-owned by Sinopoli, Danese and Cano, as its first Miami venue. The business relationship was a success at first, leading the group to embark on another joint project for the upstart Miami venue Factory Town in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s when the trouble arose. Insomniac alleges that in 2024, Sinopoli, Danese and Cano began to make \u201coutrageous demands\u201d for more money and control of Factory Town. The three men, meanwhile, claim Insomniac \u201cmethodically and unilaterally\u201d stripped away their ownership rights over the venue, leaving them with \u201call the work, all the risk and a drastically reduced upside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two sides went into mediation in June 2025 and emerged with an initial settlement, under which Insomniac would buy Sinopoli, Danese and Cano out of Factory Town for $3 million. But that August, Insomniac sued the trio for allegedly violating that deal, claiming they continued to operate as if they controlled the venue, including by telling Ibiza promoters that they\u2019d \u201cwon their lawsuit\u201d and interfering with event planning.<\/p>\n

\n\tSinopoli, Danese and Cano countersued Insomniac a month later, claiming the settlement actually required them to collaborate on Factory Town\u2019s annual Hocus Pocus Halloween party and programming for Art Basel Miami. The trio said Insomniac breached the deal by unilaterally making talent booking decisions, such as an offer to party brand CircoLoco at a 44% markup from the prior year\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe countersuit also included some inflammatory allegations against Insomniac\u2019s CEO, Pasquale Rotella<\/strong>. The legal papers accused Rotella of \u201cpredatory tactics and greed\u201d and called him \u201cinsufferable to work with,\u201d adding that Sinopoli, Danese and Cano \u201chad the misfortune of witnessing and experiencing first-hand Rotella\u2019s cruelty, self-centeredness and volatility.\u201d Insomniac characterized these claims as an irrelevant \u201csmear campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two sides entered renewed settlement discussions in the fall. Their lawyers notified the judge overseeing their case last month that they\u2019d reached a deal, and the case has now been closed.<\/p>\n
