for the money he's getting per gig, you'd think he has a team handling these for him. or maybe he's too busy doing it that he lost his focus on producing quality music. |
He doesn't, I know one of his handlers that does everything for him. Only thing he likes to do sometimes is drive the car haha
idk why he is even saying this lol |

The good folks at WMC have taken a brave step towards bringing saneness and normality to this over populated and overpriced chaos by choosing a separate week from Ultra for you to hold their parties and events. Now, if we could just get someone to start another music festival during WMC week things would really stabilize. Gordon Gekko once said, "greed is good" but I truly believe competition is even better. Humm... if I were you I would not book your tickets just yet.
Finally, a good friend pointed out something which we are all overlooking and that is that “without WMC there would not be an Ultra Music Festival.”
See you the second week in March,

| Yeah, I was wondering if WMC was trying to separate themselves from Ultra. But then I heard about contracts between WMC and Ultra. I guess that was all false. I'll side on supporting WMC. Never had any desire to go to Ultra. I can go to better raves, I mean "festivals" here. |

Hello Electronic Music lovers,
With WMC comes WMC Drama, the two just seem to go hand in hand. This year the big D is all about the two different Dates (WMC and Ultra) which are confusing the fcuk out of everyone and raising all sorts of questions… What is up with the 2 dates? What is really happening? What is the inside scoop? What is Club Space doing? When should we come to Miami? My father always had one answer for every question, when in doubt always chase the money and sure enough this is no exception so pay close attention because I am only explaining this once…
This year and once again, Ultra is trying to monopolize WMC by engaging exclusive contracts with all major DJs which will not allow them to perform at your favorite dance clubs. Last year they got Tiesto, Dead Mau, Guetta, Carl Cox, Armin...) to sign Ultra exclusives and this year they are going after everyone else. What this means to the consumer is that you will no longer be able to enjoy your favorite DJ for extended sets after midnight at your favorite clubs, instead you will be forced to listen to them for a one hour set before midnight in a crowded field of dust, mud and ravers. You can also forget about seeing them at your favorite pool parties. You either pay the overpriced Ultra admission or you don't get to see and dance to your favorite DJ at all, so much for democracy and your rights as a consumer. Now, I love Ultra and what they bring to the game but I do not agree with their greedy strategy to manipulate and monopolize Music Conference. This is just not good for anyone.
WMC used to be about free parties with DJs and industry folks sharing and enjoying new music. Now, it is about greed and money with Ultra and all the clubs fighting over talent, hotels charging 4 times what they are used to and agents and DJs banking on the demand. As the owner of Space, I like all the demand and the high prices as it allows us to raise our prices and make more money and Space will be packed regardless of what DJ is performing and what decision you make. In fact, the better Ultra does, the better we do as we are right across the street and at midnight everyone comes our way. However, as a 35 year supporter of Electronic Music I cannot consciously stand back and see this take place. This is not what EM is about and it surely is not what I want to see WMC turn into. In fact, for the past 5 years I have made it a point to stop the door cover at a certain price knowing that we could easily charge double the cover. Our presales discount tickets even start at half of the door cover charged on the day of the event. This Industry has been very good to me and I for this I am eternally grateful. Thanks and thanks again.
Now what does this mean to you? Well, unfortunately the consumer is the one that ends up paying for everything. As long as there is just one music festival and one weekend as long as you keep supporting and feeding the greed you will keep suffering the high prices. This year you have a chance to make a difference and bring back what Music Conference and Electronic Music used to be about. You can either come to Miami on the last week of March, support the greedy monopoly, keep taking it up the ass and lose your right to seeing your favorite DJ at your favorite club or you can come the second week of March, claim back your wallet and your nightlife. It is really all up to you… your life, your music, your choice.

Space is pushing this idea to capitalize on both weeks. Like he states in his email Space will be slammed after Ultra no matter what. |

Steve Angello: "No one is moving to the WMC dates 5th - 12th .. Its just the official WMC awards n stuff. Everyone else goes same dates as last year. Let's rebel the wmc dates. 3.500 people attend the conference, 400.000 people attend the party's .. Why move the dates and confuse people ?? People I won't be in miami 8th - 12th .. I'm having my size part the last week of march ... And most of the people I know will be there. I'll be in Miami end of March! I didn't say wmc was just about me. But I don't like 90% of the promoters saying end of march. Then wmc comes along saying beginning of march .. Its not all about the conference either. Its about labels showcasing their talent and bringing amazing party to miami that week. I got djs to book , hotels , venues , sponsorship , flights. I can't jump around dates like I have nothing better to do all day. That's why I get pissed off. And since some people like yourself don't understand that I had to state that. I'm there end of march. End of story "
Dirty South: "Miami WTF is 8-12 March....and Miami WMC is last week of March as per tradition!"
Afrojack: "Pleease dont move wmc dates!! Honestly f* it only once have i seen a small segment of the conference, the rest was all ultra, @SAngelloLIVE partys and @davidguetta partys"
Max Graham: Maybe Miami will use their "Special WMC menus" with 30% higher prices during 8-11th and we'll get the normal rates end of March.
Felix Da Housecat: WMC why would u move conference 8-13?????? Dat don't sound sexy at all!!! |
Robbie Rivera: Looks like everybody will be in Miami the usual 3rd week in March. Why go earlier if the best djs in the world will be there the 3rd :) |

| Whichever weekend has the best lineup will be the one I pick. More choices is better for everyone though in my opinion. |
