It’s music festival season: this weekend South by Southwest is in Indie-rocking in Austin, and next week Miami Beach will descend into a disco inferno as the Winter Music Conference (WMC) rolls into town from the 20th to the 25th. Despite the oddly nondescript name, the WMC is one of the world’s premiere dance/ electronic music events, bringing together DJs, industry peeps, and party kids for six days and nights of hedonism on the dancefloor. Most of the world’s top turntablists will be helming the decks somewhere in Miami, with 280 events at 85 venues, spanning genres from deep house to electro. Some 20,000 hotel rooms are expected to be booked for the duration of the conference, but the Super Bowl this ain’t, there are still plenty of rooms to be had on Orbitz and other sites. To help party-goers plan to hit all the right events, our plugged-in friends over at Flavorpill have launched a WMC site special, with their insiders’ picks for each night of the conference.
