Question anyone else get the feeling that...

...wmc isnt going to last much longer?

i dunno, just the whole thing seems to be getting worse and worse every year. it just seems like everyone is trying to pump as much money in their wallets before its over.

the only good thing (for me atleast) to come out of this conference was sander van doorn. thats it.

nothing is exciting anymore. everything is too much of a mission. and even if you forget about that and still try to have a good time, you really cant cuz the djs suck. i cant believe how many "top" djs sucked ass this year.

i dunno, maybe im just getting too old for this kiddie shit.

Indeed, I'm getting the exact same kind of feeling! Except for the part about SvD of course

Hardly any trance this year and what little there is was by the same big DJs as last year that play over and over again at home already I'd like to see more of the upcoming European ones doing shorter sets; more of the people we don't normally get to see. Labels should bring their young talents instead of relying mostly on the "old guard." But I guess this is a business first...

i didnt go this year, but just reading all the reviews of crap venues, shit crowds, firemarshall problems, and most importantly, bad music, i doubt ill bother making the trip down there again

I disagree. I thought Sasha & Digweed at Mansion was great. Danny Howells at Pawn Shop was outstanding too. The Radio 1 party was loads of fun. Besides Ultra which I left early because of the rain, I've had a great time again.


Posted by TiestoLIVE on Mar-25-2007 03:37:

Those that left early missed an outstanding set by Erick Morillo...so dope how he kept the crowd fired up throughout all the rain. Gabriel & Dresden at Pawn Shop was INSANE, too! So much energy...Josh Gabriel is the man. Threw down sick track after sick track. We need an ID of his encore track.

funny how no one complains about free shows...


Andy Moor, Darude, Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten, Benny Benassi, David Guetta, Above & Beyond.....all were free and all were excellent!

i saved for Ibiza. I heard WMC 2005 was the best and last good year..tru?

And is it tru its been raining almost everyday there this year?


Posted by epdarks on Mar-25-2007 20:15:

Yes lots of rain this year.

The only thing I hate about WMC is the prices...

DJs being "off" is just unnaceptable @ WMC IMO but it happened a lot this year.

However I've seen some of the best shows of my life this year... I see many WMCs in my future.


Posted by LiquidX on Mar-25-2007 21:13:

I guess Im lucky for attending the best parties this year with a lot of luck on avoiding the rain ( except for saturday )

+1....i love Miami but this is deffinately a time to avoid the place...the music,,the people,,the venues the food can all go fuck themselves...


Posted by DarkAngel on Mar-25-2007 23:44:

Funny how a great majority of the house parties bombed...but I heard NO complaints about the trance ones.


In your face, assholes.

as a friend lemme tell you, you are retarded. MOST if not all the trance parties blowed.


Posted by vovka on Mar-26-2007 02:29:

i've said this before...but i will repeat it again. ALL of the free shows were incredible -- Above and Beyond, Andy Moor, Darude, Ferry Corsten, and the private Paul Oakenfold...

it's unfortunate to hear that the expensive parties sucked, but the free ones were simply incredible


Posted by ambs on Mar-26-2007 02:30:

3 out of 4 parties I went to this WMC were beyond words....

Armada night was simply incredible... Armin at pawn shop was amazing, just the vibe alone was worth it and don't get me started on everything else and Sander van Doorn at the fifth was a lot of fun too!

For me, this was the funnest WMC i have experienced, but to each their own I guess


Posted by mopa on Mar-26-2007 15:21:

This year was great, but the rain screwed ultra up. The only thing thing that pissed me off was that this year there were so many kids there all shit faced on acid and were pushing people to get up front on the main stages.

I wanted to go into the house tent, but it was so full, everyone was touching each other. If one fell down, they would of became a piece of the ground. We all had a great time, otherwise. Miami is one of my favourite cities.


Posted by Boomer187 on Mar-26-2007 16:51:

What a fucking idiot you are.

Knock it off you clueless dolt. You have no idea how tiring your incessant uninformed opinion is.

Deep dish @ Space was one of the best parties i've ever been to... everyone in there was dancing non-stop for 10 hours


Posted by DarkAngel on Mar-26-2007 21:33:

Hahaha. Just the response I'd expect. You guys love me anyway. Yes you do.

That is all.

I have to agree with that, SvD party could was outta hand. But the sound was horrible. I am very picky when it comes to a venues sound. I heard people say Mansion sound was off. I think they have a great sound system the problem is people put the volume up and down during the set. That is a big no no no. Same issue at Twilo, the have the phazon system, but there fucking retarded, that is club level sound, and they dont play it right!!!

SvD party was the best party I went to, even though I was there for like 2 hrs. As far as Armada night goes, I think Armin play a slack set, the whole first hour was below 130. For someone who only played three hours that was sorry. But he did to try to make it up, but to me that wasnt enough. I have seen him in the last year throw some massive shit. Like what he did in NYC. What he did at Pawn Shop even though I was not there and Twilo. Was just a mere taste of what he is capable of doing. That is one of his weakest point at times, when he isnt all that hype to play harder within the first hour. If you notice he didnt even jump on the set. That is a first for me. All I saw was a jesus pose, and the raise of the earphones. And yes some please stop telling artists to play MindCircus. I remember PvD playing it shortly after playing a hard song, and it nearly clear 20% of the people to go the terrace. People really get down. I could literally count people with my hands when that were dancing when that was dropped!!!! It was a classic a loooooooooooooonng time ago. Time to get over it. I cant believe people payed so much money for PvD, I heard from my brothers friend many people were poketing money @ Space on enterances. I feel sorry for them....

Many venues were a disasters, Twilo has horrible bartending, I remember getting 5 drinks that were super slack. So I stop drinking that, then I get 2 beers, that felt like if they were put in a mircrowave. I came @ 12 there, and they made me wait. Then when I tell them I had a table they told me I had to wait. Thats fucked up. And they were charging an arm and a leg too, and then they told me they were all taken even though I RVSP, becuase I knew I wanted to sit through this event. Not even space, God I love those Drink Passes . PvD was the least day I wasted money, and got wasted. Its time to get passed trance, and thank god I satarted listening to other sound, becuase those were the parties that made it. Sander tore the patio at space, so did Yoshitoshi night right after I left Twilo. Morillo could have been probably the best party if it wasnt for the rain!!!!

Only tickets I bought were the Twilo, and SvD. Which werent evepensive. But I already know next WMC I plan to travel. It is the best thing to do. The type of crowd that I saw at WMC wasnt all that great. I saw sooo many random people wasted, it was sickening hearing people puke. Not even the worst crowd in Miami can pull that off. I do not know if you guys noticed that either?

Spacemasters, its pretty funny, because Im hearing from the other side of the isle ( The house crowd ) That their parties sucked and that there was no vibe on those parties. Big turn off on a lot of them..

Morillo was great in the rain.

Which parties??? Im not saying house parties were great, some were boring ass hell. Subliminal was suppose to set a high stander for any party. But Guetta played really gay. And Felix got wasted and got pissed at security for not being recognized. Morillo was playing good, but he belongs on the terrace. I remember him saying he was pissed about playing in the loft, which is why he was convinced to ask to go on the mic so people to stay and that he would play 15 min to actually play. Bullshit he came on like 1:30hr later. He started like at 7:30a

To each there own. I feel I have had better times on a regular night with a local than I did this WMC. The thing with the house parties there were like 7 dj's in the line up. Some were bad some were ok, while some really rocked it!!! I saw a bit off all of that. My feet still hurt today.
