if you talk to Juan Pablo Montoya like that he will put your ass on the wall lol

Atleast there is a scene there. They have been trying for years (i got here in 2005) to bring an EDM scene to Hawaii and it just does not pick up. They used to do a "mix at 6" on one of the rap stations but that has gone away.
Hawaii has a very bare bones EDM scene. So be thankfull that you have a Miami that its there if you want to go.
Every city has their own respectable scene or taste, whatever you want to call it. It basically boils down to what talent clubs are willing to book in THAT area. If you have done some traveling then you should have noticed the difference. Dont expect for the Miami scene to adjust to your liking...its not going to happen. Leave FL and party where your favorites play and you will have a def. good time. That spot might look like its popping to you like ppl think this place is for them.
Places that dont even have a scene sound like open territory to me....Get your stuff out there and make a scene. Go figure, Miami used to have more variety before the club scene took over..
From an European view, I think that L.A has the best scene in the US.
Lots of trance dj's every weekend, a trance festival every month and you have also day parties 
I would definitively move to L.A for the music but i prefer the Miami's weather.

Definitely some good points in the original post about the clubs being annoying. But, as mentioned in the post, there has been a lot of talent that has come through Miami which can't be that bad.
Most big name DJs come on weekends to Miami unlike other cities where the DJs come mid-week because the promoter can't afford the DJ. Probably part of the reason why prices are lower in other towns. Of course Miami over charges because they can. It's a tourist town and everyone comes with money to spend. Sure NYC and LA gets good shows on weekends, but those cities are much larger than Miami.
Most importantly don't forget that lots of talent right now is in Europe at Festivals or in Ibiza with a residency. That said, things will pick up after summertime and you'll see more talent come through once Ibiza is done and the festivals are done too.

They will continue with the same 'tired worn out useless' formula until the 2000 or so rafters, prostitutes, cokeheads, meth-heads and vampires that still show up there weekly get deported, overdose, get a wooden stake driven thru their hearts or otherwise stop showing up. With minimal at its peak, and people saying how great tech house, tech trance and minimal are, where are the Space bookings of talent like Marco Carola, Carl Cox, Ritchie Hawtin, Lee Burridge, Mauro Picotto, Chris Liebing, Marco V, SVD, Zabiela, etc, etc??? No where to be found. And their house bookings are crap to say the least. Trance bookings are PVD, and that's all folks. Mansion brings better DJs than Space, and that is embarassing to say the least. Having that great club there and not booking anyone is the equivalent of having a Ferrari in your driveway and taking the bus, or having Jessica Alba naked in your bed and jerking off instead of bangin her. Anyone who applauds or defends Space's mediocrity is full of shit. |

On topic
Yoji came from Japan and he played in New York a week ago... Entrance $15!!!
Then he goes to Canada.
What about Miami? Or anywhere else in the states?
I think the states in general has a trance problem. They don't know who to book.
And when they do book, like Johan Gielen at Space years ago... It was me and 3 other people that showed up!!
It's ironic, I told an event organizer at Starbucks a few days ago "Miami has one good week, the rest is crap... winter music conference in March"
That is the truth folks.
And none of my friends want to go to BF Downtown to party. I'd gladly see a trance act/dj at the Hard Rock over down town!!
When I went to Emory in Hotlanta, you could always count on Liquified to bring in good talent pretty much every week. The great thing was they'd often book them at smaller venues too so it was more intimate.
Down here?...I agree, it's rougher than people think trance/prog-wise.
I refuse to go to Space or any of the downtown/DD clubs anymore just because of the element in many of those clubs tbh. I've seen some stuff down there I never wanna see ever again, so (I'd rather/I'm forced to) pay more and go to something a little more upscale. I'm not saying I enjoy all the douche bags in the SoBe clubs or anything either, but it's better than the alternative.
I love the scene in Chicago and New York, however, esp. Chicago.

Its amazing how the people who 'just moved here' can already gauge a scene by the first couple of months they are here.
Granted, WMC is a massive week..but there are festivals and parties outside of clubs all the time, and enough clubs downtown, at the beach, or even at the Hard Rock to choose how you want to have a good time.
If you can't find a good party its because you either dont know anyone or are not a smart clubgoer. the fact that you can gauge your crowd also means you go to the same places everyone else goes. why not trying something different this week instead of heading to the huge clubs like all the other sheep?
There are dozens of local dj's that frequent clubs all over miami. they dont all play the same music..in fact, why dont you ask some on here for some good upcoming parties?
there are plenty of options to choose. dont be lazy and say there is no scene when we live in one of the most diverse musical parts of the country. If you want to see a top headliner, face the fact that they dont come here because clubs and promotional groups dont want to dish out enough cash to properly promote the event.
Sure, New York might have a huge scene, and so does Chicago..but you are comparing to totally different urban areas, one of them being the main reasons house music is even here in Miami.
And at least here in Miami, you can be sure that 99% of the big events dont land on weekdays. We are also the kings of Afterhours in the US which adds a whole other facet to our scene.
WMC is great!
This is my 2nd year going and I loved it! I think that Miami is similar to San Diego in that there are a bunch of "scenesters." People who don't have a clue who's spinning, they just want to tell their friends that they partied at Mansion or Space. To be honest, I think that you will find that most cities suffer from a large number of douchebags and not enough real EDM fans.
