It was my first night in Miami for WMC 2007. I couldn't wait to see Ferry Corsten again in Miami! I had great memories of Ferry Corsten's awesome set one year before @ Crobar, a great venue in South Beach which had since closed and reopened as Cameo. Was this new place going to be as much as fun as Crobar? I wasn't going to be disappointed!
I finally made it to Cameo after 11 pm. The staff at the door was just as friendly as the Crobar staff, and I was let through the will-call line in no time. Cameo still retained the ambience of an art-deco theather. Once I went through the main door, only the cavernous ceiling seemed to be the only thing that remained the same. The DJ booth was remodeled, now shaped as a disco ball split in half. VIP lounges were at opposite ends of the dance floor. At first glance, the dance floor seemed small, but it was much bigger once I walked closer to the DJ booth. This place looked really nice!
Now, on to the music. Edgar V took over from the mediocre first DJ, and proceeded to spin a good opening set of breaks and tribal house. I hadn't seen Edgar V since his last appearance at GLOW DC in October 2004, so it was great hearing him spin again! In the meantime, I managed to meet some awesome people from all over (Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, Monterey Mexico), who noticed my Ferry Corsten T-shirt.
Ferry Corsten finally took around 1:45 and didn't waste any time! Right from the start, Ferry's set was loud and energetic. After awhile, Ferry started going into more melodic trance. I remained in front of the DJ booth, watching Ferry wave his arms and work his magic with the crowd. I must admit that I went crazy when Ferry dropped Galaxia...one of my favorite Ferry tracks! I was absolutely ecstatic when Ferry dropped Beautiful, another of Ferry's tracks which always takes my breath away! Not too long after, Ferry dropped Fire, another one of my favorites! After a few more beauties, Ferry dropped Dogzilla - Without You. I was going crazy this whole time, in absolute happiness! After dancing for what seemed like 2 hours, I stepped out for a drink (Red Bull and Grey Goose). I immediately ran to the dance floor after my drink, as soon as I heard Ferry drop BT - Sonambulist (Mark Norman remix)! To top it all off, BT wandered into the DJ booth to greet Ferry. That was a nice surprise!
Ferry started going back into hard bangin' sounds toward the last hour. I remember dancing like mad as soon as he dropped L.E.F! After awhile, I was a little tired, so I went for water and I stood by one of the railings on the right side of the floor. Ferry brought me back out to dance for two encores. I loved hearing Ferry's remix of William Orbit - Adagio For Strings! It was beautiful as always! Ferry dropped one of his trance classics that I had not heard in years...Gouryella - Gouryella! I was tired but I couldn't resist dancing till the end! Unfortunately Ferry Corsten had to finish his set around 5 AM. Club management wanted to close down for the night. Asides from the fact that Ferry's very last encore (Rock Your Body Rock) was cut short, my night ended on a great note! Ferry signed my L.E.F. CD sleeve...I was really happy! There was no better way to begin my WMC 2007 experience!
I can't wait to see Ferry Corsten @ GLOW in June!

The first opener was kinda crappy. He was trying to bang it out at 11pm and just had no flow. Then once edgar got on is was on. He calmed it down a lil, then brought it up perfect for ferry. Then ferry just went insane
