Winter Music Conference ‘07 Preview
Sunday, March 18th, 2007
Every nightclub, restaurant, hotel lobby, lounge, room, poolside, boat deck…. during the WMC everything in Miami becomes a haven for punters. It’s a promoters dream - all the top DJs and producers from every genre in EDM in one nutty city at the same time.
It’s all about bringing your freshest and best and showcasing it to your peers and the hardcore clubbers that travel from all parts of the world to be at the right place at the right time. It’s the most saturated week in electronic music, the entire Ibiza season rammed into one week.
We’ll spend our time at the conference supporting our favs and promoting the amazing talents that have helped bringthebeats maintain over the past four-plus years. Of course on top of that list is Luke Fair. His Balance 11 party at Cafeteria on Saturday will be the highlight of our trip, but another two opportunities to hear him spin under the South Beach sky has us bubbling over with excitement as well.
The WMC will also allow us to hook up with Ricky Ryan. He too will be at the controls at Cafeteria, for Wednesday’s Proton Radio Party. If what he lays down is anything like the recent Feedback Radio mix that he compiled with Lucas Abadi and Paul Dolan, we’re in for a dulce de leche tasting treat.

Feedback DJs -Promo Mix - February 2007
We’re also going to meet many online friends in person for the first time. Topping this group is Holosound, Alex and Noah from NYC. Their mixes, both live and in-studio, have been blowing us away, one after another. This most resent promo displays a different side of “Illectro,” one that is super smooth and incredibly cool.

You will see me at quite a few of those parties for sure mate. The Official CD Launch Party of ‘Balance 011′ is my number 1 priority, it has been way too long since I have had the pleasure of hearing Luke destroy a dancefloor! With the SOS party the same night, hopefully can sort it out ot make it to both.
Look forward to seeing you all down there!!! 48 hours and counting =)
