Well its been a few days since i got back from Miami and I had to let my brain gel back together first before I could write this post…
But this year’s WMC was really something else. For me, having only been involved in House for a few years through DJ AB Logic and Axiom of the Hoodfellas, I finally felt like I was part of the family this year. I played something like 15 gigs! Lol. “Epic” doesn’t even begin to describe it. Highlights for me were playing the Beach Plaza Hotel with Tommy Largo, AB Logic & J.C. Disko. We created a moment that I nor anyone who was there will ever forget and that was just the beginning. The Guesthouse parties were totally sick. Probably one of the most insane moments was watching Mes, Sneak, Farina and Doc Martin kill it at club Eve from 2am to 10am. The sun came up and the party kept going – immaculate. I played a smash set with Australia’s Jeremy Joshua that was the start of a great relationship. Several major highlights came from my downtempo and house sets with Tommy Largo. Notably at the Carlton Hotel for Sutra Sounds. This by far was one of my most memorable experiences. It was as if the stars aligned and the gods of House were shining on us. An amazing night. Making friends and music plans with awesome Aussies like Sonny Fodera was more than icing on the cake.
I rocked my all white Super Debs from Heyday Footwear, as well as my red Shift RS’s and my grey Shift Concepts – Heyday had Miami on SMASH! It was lovely to turn heads in the city where heads don’t turn much. My daytime-nighttime purple Carerras went with all my outfits, it was a good fashion week for the kid lol. OH and the “Guns & Doves” and “Kill Your Genre” tees are an absolute WIN. New gear coming soon!!
Finally, just as I thought it couldnt get any better, the UGH Hangover Party on sunday at D’vine Lounge thrown by AB Logic and my people, with special guests Jonn Hawley, Davidson Ospina and Oscar P to name a few was so ridiculously incredible that I get misty eyed everytime I think of it.
If there was one song to sum up last year’s WMC it was Jonn Hawley’s “Electric Lush”. This year for me it was DJ Spinna’s remix of Shaun Escoffery’s “Days Like This”. I met so many amazing people, labels and DJs, I will NEVER forget WMC 2011. Every day I said the same thing to myself, “I love days like this, yeah…”
Note:
I def got mad emo hangin with all you House music heads for a week. Hahaha Back to the gully…
