W.m.c 2003
In respect of the music industry, the music conference is exactly as it says, a conference.
We went following the hype, believing that miami would be equal to ibiza, after all, all the top d.j's were playing there eh? Or were they really? Went to chill at the opium garden with radio 1, total no show, no live coverage, apparently we'd heard off other d.j's "pete tong turned up for a gig at a club, practicaly empty, turned round and left"
The maze nightclub was fantastic though, roger sanchez performed as well as ever. Still humming tunes from that night now, and probably will all summer! The sound system here really is sorted.
Went to la troya at level, started to realise the real deal. Practically all the seating was for v.i.p's(to be a v.i.p will set you back an arm and both leg's), music was o.k, club practically empty though.
Security in miami was overwhelming, fearing the recent laws on losing there license's through people dealing in clubs, made the atmosphere a touch tense to say the least.
Personally i won't be going back to miami unless someone else is paying, thats really the long and short of it. Let them keep miami to themselves, and stop hyping it up to be something it isn't.
