Miami Winter Music Conference

If you could take just one photo: Miami Winter Music Conference

Miami with its beautiful tropical décor, lavish clubs, beaches and perfectly sculpted bodies is a perfect host for WMC, Winter Music Conference . From sun up to sun down Collins Avenue was constantly percolating with people and sound. South Beach became a non-stop party. Any time of the day I could find a place to hear the pumping sounds of techno, house, acid house, as well as many other forms of dance music. The biggest attraction for attending WMC would be the showcase parties. These showcases allowed club-heads the chance to hear dance music industry’s biggest DJs spin live, actually partaking in the energy of the music when it is happening as strobe-lights beamed off glistening skin and the speakers rattled so loud only the brave or those with earplugs got near them. Parties began as early as 10 a.m. and ended as late as 7 a.m. The prices for the parties ranged from $20 to $90 dollars and generally depended on the line up of talent as well as the venue, so be sure to bring plenty of disposable cash with you should you plan to attend. If you love dance music, I highly recommend making the pilgrimage down to Miami at least once to take part in the WMC. Just keep in mind that you may need another week off when returning home to sleep and recuperate.

Party all night (on sponsored booze) in balmy, debaucherous Miami to the beats, scratches, mixes, and breaks of dance music luminaries from Paul Oakenfold to Fischerspooner to MSTRKRFT to Spank Rock. Every March, DJs, musicians, bookers, labels, and fans converge on South Beach to hit industry seminars by day and work up an alcohol tan on dance floors and beaches all over Miami from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again.
