I would like to thank my buddy Francisco (Arjuna / Franz Martins) and the cool crowd at Blue for the hospitality and great music.
Francisco and I opened the night with a two-hour minimal blast. Let me put it this way: I had so much fun that I completely forgot to take pictures! Francisco filmed some of the mix, and I have to get my hands on it ASAP to post here.
Join me in my second year spinning at Ultra Music Festival. I'll be there Saturday and my slot is at 12:30 p.m. at the UMF Collective. I am looking forward to checking out some of the talent roaming around Miami this week. For one, I haven't seen Justice live. The others that I haven't seen, but am interested in are: Audiofly, Digitalism, Deadmau5, and MSTRKRFT. I have seen the rest of the line-up one way or another the past couple years. This electro-rock thing is blowing up, or has been for the past 2 years or so. Perhaps I might do an E-R set next week :D
I know I should practice what I preach, but I was scheduled for a gig tonight in South Beach at a club I will not name (but you can find if you google a bit). I suddenly get a call that they don't feel like going through because there is a bigger event they are throwing up (spring break cruise) and mine was apparently not profitable enough. Well that is most definitely the end of these verbal agreements I make at SB.
Get a generic contract online and have the damn promoter sign it. Don't get me wrong, I am a promoter myself, but this weasel went overboard doing this last minute change. But it's okay, there will always be another gig, and this one certainly wasn't the biggest of the week, even. A entertainment lawyer I know once said that this is the most corrupt industry you can work for!
The flyers are out and my name is in! The play schedule hasn't been released (quite the secretive group they are). There will be over 150 DJs spinning and over 60,000 fans are expected over two days at Bicentennial Park.
I will play at the Eco-Village's Trance Miami Psychedelic Sunset along with my good friends Deleim and Arjuna. Although this is about as much fun as I will have all year, I will be working hard to bring in pics and reviews of DJ sets across all tents.
I will post more information on how to get free tickets soon!
