-- Your best and worst of WMC 2007
Pages (3): « 1 2 [3]
Best: Friday UMC party. The set-up was great, the music on all of the stages was great, and the weather was good. Music on Sunday night at Cameo was excellent.
Worst: Almost everything else. I guess it started bad with the $80 dollar Juicy Beach party at Nikki Beach. Sound and Set-up were both shit. People stepping on your feet and bumping you to get through without saying sorry or excuse me, is just not something I'm used to.
Did not bother going to clubs from then until Sunday night when I went to Cameo. This place can probably summarize my whole Miami experience. Good music but the VIP areas taking most of the dance floor space just ruined the whole experience. It did not feel like a party, so when the DJ was really turning it on, the crowd did not really respond.
The sound at Ultra Friday night was superb. They were able to handle The Cure and Junkie XL and Tiesto very nicely, and with the way Digitalism and MSTRKRFT were pushing the other stages they were supberbly set up there as well.
The only sound that topped that was Twilo. Hot damn.
Let's just say my vacation in Miami was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! This was the fourth year that I've gone to WMC..my experience was excellent on so many levels! I really couldn't be any happier! Among the highlights...
- Ferry Corsten @ Cameo (March 22): It was an awesome way to start my vacation in Miami! Ferry Corsten rocks as always!
- Day 1 of Ultra Music Festival (March 23): Seeing The Cure for the first time in many years was priceless! This was a much better experience than when I first saw The Cure in 1992! The Cure's set went on for over 2 hours, which included a few songs that I didn't expect to hear. I also loved Junkie XL's set...too bad it was only 30 minutes.
- Cosmic Gate @ Red Light District (March 23): I never expected to see DJ Bossi...and...Nic Chagall spinning a tag team set! Cosmic Gate doesn't tour the States very often. I'm so glad I didn't miss out! Wow! Hearing an awesome trance set at an small party was much better idea than dealing with the crowds @ Space!
- Armada All Night @ Twilo (March 24): This was my last night of clubbing for WMC...and it could not have been any better!!! It was an absolute blast from the time I made it to Twilo at 11 pm till Rank 1 closed out around 8:30 AM! Hearing sets from Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz...and Rank 1 (wow!)...was phenomenal! Moment of the night was hearing Rank 1 drop Brainwave! The whole night was trance fiend heaven!
OK...I'll add more details later. In my case, the positives far outweighed the negatives! Experiencing great music live, partying with friends I haven't seen in ages, and meeting new wonderful people...I couldn't have asked for a better vacation!
I can't wait to be back in Miami next March! :-)
what suck for me when I return home
I got sick

WTF WAS THAT ???? what was that guy doing on stage ? oh, and word of advice, DO NOT buy VIP tickets for Ultra festival in the future. it is so NOT worth it! waste of money. there was even an option to upgrade your vip ticket for another $170. WTF !!? overall, Ultra was OK. not mind blowing. i had higher expectations for stage design/lights/lasers & lineup. but on the other hand, made-event parties were out of this world!! went to 5th, BED, Pawn Shop, & Twilo best times ever :-) |
Good-
Sander on the terrace was amazing. How can this madman do what he does for 8 hours straight? Great music, great party, great vibe. The terrace is just an incredible room.
Rank 1 was incredible. See my other posts.
Sunday School was so unique and amazing! What a venue, what a vibe! It's definitely like DC10 in Miami. I'm not so much into minimal, but I was on this day.
Bad-
Crowds & security at Space. It sucked getting up to the terrace and at one point I was scared for my safety.
PVD sucked. I used to be a huge fan. What happened? Usually he is boring to watch, but his music is great. This time, he was animated and fun to watch, but the music sucked. He kept blasting the horn and it became really annoying. I was very disappointed with him.
BEST :
one + one @ the fifth.
ren� amesz's set during little mountain records @ shine. agreed, he completely stole the show from sander! [i will, however, swat trent cantrelle next time he doesn't drop the full version of "proper education" when the crowd's obviously begging for it! 
]
cheapest drinks on south beach during the involved events happy hours @ the shelborne with S.O.S. and paolo mojo. only 20-25 people showed for S.O.S., so we got hammmmmmered with the guys. sasha's folks were there, too -- they're gracious, amazing, and some of the most-fun people i've ever met. getting to party WITH the DJs and have them serve us drinks was priceless! a must for next year.
WORST :
missing the radio 1 party.
day 2 @ ULTRA and flying home with walking pneumonia.

i must agree with Pete K(whom i saw a few times, good music brings good peeps, lol), on both accounts of people stealing shows at their respective label showcase, Mistress Barbara, now has a new #1 fan, she was fucking amazing, her lil 2 hr set was prolly one of my faves of WMC, if shes around ill be there from now on!
Rene Amesz, hes soo talented and a friend of mine since last wmc, he was actually supposed to close down the shine party but for some reason im not sure why Sander did. anyhow these showcases are mainly for their artists so it should be them stealing the show!, a good reason why i have been at every LMR and BC party since they have incepted during the WMC, the first LMR in 04 and BC in 05. 4 yrs of LMR and 3 years of BC they are not to be missed!
to say the least WMC is always the best shit, this year id say the best music i heard came from the SOS boys, they really are amazing and fuck im still a prog head at heart, and they were full of driving basslines and aggregated synths, a winner in my book
party vibe winner always goes to Sander on the terrace, fuckin guy could play the butt trumpet and that place would just feel right, not to mention we got there with Rene and he played 5 hours of straight funk to set he mood perfect for the Sander, another party ive been to since inception in 04 and for a damn good reason!
on the vibe note, Sunday School was stellar, nothing like the troopers of WMC, aka the ones who are waaay fucked , partying it up in the sun on sunday, hey the sun on sunday what do ya know, and some peeps go to church...lol...anyhow, i have determined that minimal is good, but i have to see it live, all this time i dl sets and play them and say fuck this...then Sunday school showed me a proper minimal party in the sun the way it is meant! what an amazing time that was and everyone who mattered showed up! not to mention hearing adam beyer for the first time in a dark room at noon on a sunday was a treat!
honorable mention- Claude von Stroke @ get physical, i went for booka shade and mandy, but i witnessed something ridiculous by that man, from time on till time off every single person in studio a was jumping up and down, u know its on when that type of shit goes down
while im on it, one reason that makes WMC is the daytime action, and for those who there in front of Mr. Tong while he shouted his business all over the globe @ radio 1 witnessed something special. a good reason peeps were paying $100 at the door for this shit, broads galore with ass for miles, and the greatest dj's at a pool on the fucking ocean...that is what WMC is all about, and that is why i have been and will be there every year!
and Mr. Coe and all the involved parties from teh bowlathon, getting to chill with sander with his whole fam, sasha, digz and SOS, fucking bowling to getting my drinks made by Sasha, SOS, polefolder, and quiver. this is why the week of WMC is the best week of the year hands down!
till 08 , i know ill see soem of u once again
