what happened in miami... part B

part A is the post below incase you are wondering...

cheeky one on the bus
so we went to the "international dance music awards"(IDMAs) which were pretty crap, no one was there for their awards the live acts were lame and the sound levels were all wrong... it was a pretty depressing event for anyone hoping that electronic music will be around for a few years yet...

but the new day miami beach was girdlocked and when we got on this bus there was a guy there looking totally out of place and was chatting away on his phone tryin to organise a gig. As we rolled past a club called mansion i noticed that Mos Def was playing and got excited, so the guy looks up and says, "man if you like mos def you should come check out my party, its down at the opium lounge(a really cool club) and its happening now." So we were heading to nikki beach (radio 1 party) and i was WELL up for re-routing but Mark was like we should at least check out nikki beach for a bit. anyway i got chatting to this guy and he was like " the WMC is for loosers, its all about the M3 thats where the real business is done thats where the future is. Which was brilliant to hear cause if the IDMAs stole all hope, re-inspired me that the future is still bright.

for me its not really about super clubs and glo-sticks, trance and pvc, teenagers and dave pearce, its about fusion of sounds from all over the world, about dark dirty underground clubs in rainy cities, where the music sets on fire the hearts and minds of the filthy and gorgeous crowd. about dj's who take you some where with their set, pushing limits and smashing the greatest music of the last 40 years on funked up electro beats. its about the 3am look; sweat smudged miscara and big smiles, ultimately for me its about all this being done in worship of the Lord of the dance, Jesus Christ.

actually i think thats plenty for one post, so still to come blown away and baptismo de la maxismo
