if ben4's week was anywhere near as crazy as the way he types, then it must've been CRAZY! hahah!

AMAZING WEEK! Can't believe it's all over

Sander K absolutely killed it at Shine! Amazing party to end WMC!

I'm a WMC newbie and I was quite surprised that I actually got to stick to my "party schedule" (day/night parties the entire week) I never felt burnt out or got sick and most importantly I was having fun the entire time I was there (enjoying the music and dancing) so next year will be doing it all over again Next year though, I will probably stay a few more days after WMC for sightseeing and explore Miami a bit more as I didn't get to do that this year at all (kinda expected though).

Got to hang out and chat with a few TA's... ArminD1981, diabloargentino, DPetey81, Dream Beamz, jovjo003, sucanushie and a few others but don't have your usernames. Whad up guys? Good times! My iPhone died on me a couple of times and had reception problem at Ultra so didn't get to meet up with some other TA's as planned, sorry guys!

Until next year Miami!

craziest year ever.

tues - went to proton. three killed it.

wed - nikki beach was ok. heidi was really good, but wasnt really feeling the overall vibe. went to culprit/freak n chic that night...fuckin sick. joooy, and pain. sunshiiiine..and rain!

thur - get physical by day was pretty good. went to resolute at grass later that night...freakin madness. tobias live was some of the craziest shit ive ever heard. went to the cassy/sebo k boat after that, but it got cancelled b/c of the rain. so we went to hallucination @ the pickle. great party. no regular play was super good.

fri - supplment facts boat. troxler and reeves killed. dOP live was one of my fave sets of wmc. they killed. after that i didnt have plans so i walked around south beach...ended up at perc/sleaze..it sucked.

sat - went to the cassy/sebo k boat again. one of the best parties ive ever been too. best vibe ever. went to get lost when that was done, and heard jamie jones destroy outside. heard about 30 min of trox but had to leave due to heat. lol slept thru my sat night party.

sun - ss4d was really good. burridge/howells was beyond epic! finally got to hear soul clap live...they did not disappoint at all. went back to the room after that, then to hot natured. we then found out HN got moved to electric pickle, so we went there and closed it down. then to space for the clink showcase...unfortunately, we missed delano.

hung out w/ tons of ta's.

one of the best times of my life!

Lets see if I can make it quick

Wednesday Day - DJ Mag, Night - Fuck Liv, to Mansion to Florida room to Wall and back to Liv

Thursday - Lunch at Fountainblue, Angello @ Eden Rock
night - Fuck Mynt...Space...nuff said.

Friday - Beatport, last DJ was Bad Bay Bill...then SHM @ Mansion

Saturday - chilled with a friend from MIA on beach, Night - FUCK Mikey He's Famous @ Mansion. Let just say, the $15,000 table I was with had some extra alcohol that was passed around the dancefloor at the end. Love the 5 foot tall champagne. =) OH man. Wish I can re-live that night over and over. Heard a party on roof of Clevelander on way to room, based on crowd and music, sounded like Detroit Techno. (7am ish Sunday morning)

Sunday - Chilled during day. Night, went on a mission... Sunday night Fuck Set, but I got in eventually. Eric Prydz came out twice to get his friends in that they still weren't letting in...got in eventually.

Monday - Get woken up by housekeeping @ 2 pm. lol Back to the LALA land I live in. Til next year...

Ugh... I can't help but say this was my worst WMC experience yet.

Tuesday - Mansion - Wolfgang played a few decent tracks but there was no flow. MSTRKRFT did a little better but we left around 2am after the music kept turning off. It literally happened 6 times! Never saw that many technical issues before. Mansion has a good sound setup though, especially for its size. That place is HUGE.

Wednesday - Shelbourne - Showed up around 2pm and caught some really good stuff (not sure who was on though) then caught some of Dennis Ferrer's set. It was ok. Sharam's set was pretty good but Lawler really surprised me playing some ridiculous stuff. Then Zabeila went on and played a really sick opening track and then went to breaks and killed the vibe. Gotta say though, they did a great job with the sound there. It was crisp and had a lot of bass for a day party.

Thursday - Juicy Beach - Awful. Never again will I step foot in that venue during WMC. The sound there is absolutely atrocious and not worth even a free entry. As usual they kept turning it up and down so there was no way to get into anyone's set. Then again, I couldn't even hear the music so it really didn't matter. We all talked about bringing our own speakers next year and just going to watch the women.

Friday - Pete Tong's Party at Surfcomber - What a letdown! The rain stopped just in time for the show and even though it was a little sloppy I don't think the weather was a factor. It really cracked me up when it went from Lawler to Afrojack. Mark Knight was a surprise and had a really good set. Joris Voorn closed the party with some decent tracks but it just felt empty since they cut the sound in half from the previous years. Seriously, IN HALF. What the fuck? Ur tellin me they don't make enough money to keep the sound pumping in that place? I doubt it. I'd really like to know why that happened, but o well. Another sub-par party.

Friday Night - AM Only @ Karu & Y - I had never been there before so I was really impressed with the outside area. Saw DJ Dan and Steve Porter in one of the inside rooms... that was decent. MSTRKRFT was on in another room but I had enough of them so went back to the outside area and caught some of Jamie Jones and Cajmere and they were droppin some of the best tracks I've heard in a loooong time. Plus the sound system out there is phenomenal! The vibe was great and I was planning on staying there all night/morning... Until....

The friend I was with only likes electro so decided to bail on me and I was stuck there alone. That's fine. Then I got a txt from some friends going to space and they had an open spot for bottle service. I had to take that opportunity so I met them there. Then of course we waited for almost two hours because the fire marshall wasn't lettin anyone in. So we said screw it and went home. What a waste!! I regret leaving Karu & Y more than anything as I really think that woulda been my best night. Dammit!

Saturday - Ultra - Sold out... Yeah, I'm not paying $250 to get in. No thanks.

Saturday Night - Stayed in since I was just so let down from the crap that happened so far that I had absolutely no motivation to do anything. So I figured I'd save myself for Sunday night @ SET.

Sunday - SET - Amazing night... Mojo opened up well and Leger dropped some ridiculous tracks... Prydz started off slow but holy shit did he rip it up as the night went on. It was refreshing to see a set built up like that. I haven't experienced that in a loong time. And that place has a great sound setup. Everywhere you stood it was clear and loud. I loved it!

Sunday - AM - Space closing party - By this time I was half retarded from drinking too many Vodka redbulls so I really cant gauge anyone's set. My main goal was to see the sunrise... Well, I saw it get light out but it was cloudy. Shitty weather!

Monday - Recover - Rain/cloudy day

Tuesday - Got as much sun as possible - back home.


So to sum it up... The weather wasn't very nice and a lot of things went wrong or didn't live up to the expectations. I did, however, get to ride in a cab where the dude was mixing while he was driving... We were all in shock and a little scared since he spent so much time messing with it WHILE he was driving. But it was cool.

Might have to take next year off cuz after spending 3 grand I'm feeling a little regretful. I'm sure I'll change my mind come next year though. Hah. I'm gonna chalk it up as a learning experience though and if I do go next year I'm gonna make some big changes.

did i mention that electric pickle is the greatest place on earth yet?

fear and loathing in miami...(a luzzumentry)

thurs:

we arrived at around 4:00pm or so.

we went to wet willies first thing when we arrived. got ourselves a round of call-a-cabs which were extremely delicious. saw master chiarello and his boy there.

after that we attempted to goto the get physical party at the gansevoort unfortunately it was too late upon our arrival and they wouldn't let us in telling us it was going to end at 8 and we arrived at 7:40, oh well.

went back to the hotel, got ready, pregamed a bit then headed to space terrace for lawler and company.

great night overall. whoever opened up the terrace that night (looked like a little german guy, tiefschwarz maybe?) was amazing. opened up with some sick 118 bpm groovers that got me going for sure. the bass on the terrace is the best part, so much oomph to it, love it. only problem is the high's are a bit much as i had ringing in my ears throughout my whole time down there.

anywho, tanzmann went on after that little guy and rocked it proper. couldn't id anything but it was just some great uptemo bumpin' house. lawler was sick too as with voorn. doope night overall.

friday:

we went to the sander k/desyn boat party. this was amazinggg. good vibes all around, not too packed, not too empty, just right. open bar with not too long of a line. was just a perfect party. as oppose to who rocked it more, sander or desyn? definitely sander..

at this point i was running on no sleep for almost 2 days so we decided to sleep friday night which was a very wise choice...

saturday am:

we got food then went to the get lost party. unfortunately we weren't in the state of mind that everyone was in at that party and decided not to stay too long. that party should have been called light and dark. you had 2 options, being in the dark inside freezing or being a sweatbox outside in the blaring sun..i didn't like any of those options so we left early haha. man that party takes the cake as the most fucked up bunch of crackie's i have ever seen. ouch lol.

after that crackbox...

we ended up going to the bentley rooftop for some of the nyc locals as well as fortier and paulo mojo. great party that was. good vibes all around and music was on point throughout the whole afternoon/night.

we went to beach plaza (which is also where we were staying) right after to check out jody wisternoff at 8:30. loveeeed his set of course. played alot of the tracks from the album and was just good vibes all around.

saturday night:

we went to the sulli party for a bit then went with yumPOP to digweed at vagabond. MY GOD, digweed was PHENOMINAL!. probably the best technical set i heard down there without a doubt. perfect flow and vagabond itself was a really cool venue. we left at around 6 which was a little early due to my friend not feeling to well, man i wanted to close that out. i'm sure he was amazing till the end

sunday am:

we went to sunday school at around 10:45: caught a bit of soul clap outside, cool vibe they had, nice 115 bpm spacey disco cuts. vincenzo played after and started his set with ronda-folana...dooope start right there, played a few of his own tracks as well but kind of lost me at the end of his set and playing tom middleton's remix of orbital-halcyon right before middleton goes on is amateur hour lol. middleton went on after vincenzo and was great, played some great deep house. rest of the day got foggy for me so don't remember much of the other acts, although i remember us getting really bored from seth troxlers set and decided to leave sunday school and head to the bentley rooftop to catch add2basket and jody wisternoff again. unfortunately both of them never showed up which sucked (heard some crazy story about porter and jody's night before and wasn't amazed he wouldn
t be there haha) but we still enjoyed ourselves there.

by sunday night at around 8 we called it quits and went back to the hotel to just unwind and drink ourselves to sleep till our flight in the am.

overall it was a great wmc. had a great time with great friends and good people.

only thing that surprised me was there was absolutely no wmc 'bomb' this year like prior. maybe it's the way most house tracks are nowadays with little to no hook and just deep vocal cuts which don't stand out from the other?

not sure, but it is a new generation, 2010. can't wait to go next year! man, if i can go back, i'd so hit up that loco dice/luciano party..from the looks at some of the videos i seen, that seemed to be the party of the conference

Had an amazing WMC, As this was my 2nd year doing WMC instead of doing Ultra. Has anyone else had problems sleeping at night lately? I have had a little bit of problems sleeping and I had an anxiety attack the other night, I was pretty scared by that lol.

Normally when I smoke pot I am fine but now when I rip a bowl or two anxiety starts hitting me a little. I think I over did it last week during WMC.
