Top 3 WMC Parties (IMO)

So here are the Top 3 WMC parties of 2009. There may have been others that were up there, but I could only attend so many.


1. Flying Circus @ Nikki Beach



Year 2 of this party somehow was better than year 1. This time, the party ended at 5am (last year it ended somewhere around midnight I believe). This all-star line-up did not disappoint. Just when you think the music could not get any better, the next DJ would come and blow your mind. Props to SAFE & the Audiofly guys for organizing this treat.


2. Spectral Label Showcase @ Grass



An intimate atmosphere, Dynacord sound, and Matthew Dear ending the night performing all new material as Audion Live. What more can a techno lover ask for? The vibe at this party was indescribable. One of thos 'you just had to be there' type events. Other highlights of the night included Clark Warner throwing down an amazing down-tempo set for the early dinner crowd as they chowed down on what I believe to be some of the best food Miami has to offer. Clark later came correct and played some amazing records that had the crowd buzzing. Props.


3. Danny Howells @ B.E.D.



All Howells, All night. 7 hours of musical magic performed by one of the worlds greatest programmers. Danny took the crowd through musical waves, playing anything from dark techno grooves to masterfully blending feel good house tracks. Not too many DJ's can pull this off. At 5am, management literally had to pull Danny of the decks and the crowd was left wanting more.



Honorable Mention: Get Physical @ Studio K, Sunday School, Viva vs Cadenza @ Space.

And we must also mention the greatest party to never happen: Circo Loco @ Nocturnal. This venue never fails to have the worst staff/management. Take note agents and artists, people HATE coming to this venue.
