Is anyone here planning on making the trek to Miami this year?
I was messaged by someone earlier today who was on their way to the [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=5"]Sasha[/URL]'s boat party. made me feel very depressed sitting at my desk at work.
I remember these threads used to be large every year....

Wmc 2007
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
I've been following it on Instagram #wmc #wmc2015 looks like a great turnout.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
yeah it's great, though the attendance by members here seemed to have dropped off. now that we are in our 30's at this point in our lives with careers and families, making this trip every year is a bit difficult. though i'd like to start planning early for next year 8)

Re: Too old for WMC thread?
Looking at some of the Facebook videos, it looks like it's full of helmets.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
lol, im afraid to ask but what is a helmet?
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
Slang for dickhead?
ive seen several cell phone bids of dj's mixing while fans have their cell phone recording from a few feet away.

Re: Too old for WMC thread?
My friends are over there at the moment. They are all in their thirties... they went to Hernan's and Sasha's boat parties... And today they are going to Crew Love 10 hour party... I'm jealous tbh. I was there in 2007 and I want to go another time for sure. I'm specially fond of the day parties, more than night events nowadays.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
^lucky crew - wonder how Sasha was
Being married and attending wmc is kind of a mind fuck I would point out :lol:
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
two of my friends are married, with their wives over there. it's totally subjective I would say.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
yeah last 2 times I went, was with my wife.
everybody wears sunglasses 8)
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
well according to this guy, never too old

Re: Too old for WMC thread?
^^^ isn't that FL in the center with the arm tats & camera strap, Didi beside him, Huggie behind him & Hoff in the red? :lol: [COLOR=#f0ffff]great pic!
good to see y'all ;)[/COLOR]
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
So no one dancing and everyone has a phone in their hand.??? I am definitely not there :lol:
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
Why does it matter what the crowds are doing if you're not there? So what if they're blowing $70.00 for tickets to see Deep Dish and they're staring into their phones - it's their own money they're wasting, not yours.
Even if you were there, would it matter?
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
^kind of does matter though if you are there. A bunch of twats on their phones is not a good environment to party in.

As trick says , you can't close your eyes, you have to be vigilant. :lol: Particularly events like this it seem to be about being seen to be there rather than actually being there for the music. I'm just glad I am not there. It's the absolute opposite of everything I love about this music.
One if the things I love about Hernan's gigs here is that you rarely see photos or videos from them. The majority of the crowd are there for the music.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
The party is what you make of it I've always believed. I've been to some gigs where the crowds wasn't into it or just didn't care and still had a great time - but then again, I often wound up going with a crew that I knew were going for a good time, good crowd or not.

If that's true, and I have no reason to believe it's not, that's really awesome to know.

Btw. I take my music very seriously, while I have met and love a few people, for me these gigs are not social occasions. I am always there for the music, and those people are likeminded. :) I only take offence when those having a "good time " encroach on my loving the music. I have a lovely crew of serious dancers. It's a spiritual thing ;) Guy J next week !!! :D

Your dedication to the music has always been apparent with your posting history - but I still stand by my assertion that you are in control of the fun you're going to have - the crowd simply compliments it.
Have a blast at Guy J.

I couldn't agree more, enjoying yourself takes a back seat - the main thing is to get the pic / video up onto your facebook or twitter or whatever and make sure the world knows you went to a party ffs. I went to see Johnny Marr on thursday, was only 20 ft away fromn him but struggled to see through the sea of fucking iphones, wank..

I think your attitude is admirable, intending to have a good time no matter what others are doing. I also think you're kidding yourself if you think your night out won't suffer if no one else is dancing and everyone is making a shit video.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
I have been to many club nights and never even looked into the DJ booth. Come to think of it, it has never crossed my mind to get my phone out of my pocket to take a picture either.

You've never been to Toronto, have you? We're known by many djs and musical artists as the "screwface capital of the world" - reason being that we have a reputation of standing, staring at the artist with indifference on our faces and constantly bitching about how our scene isn't what it used to be.
Seriously, Google the term Screwface Capital, check the top result. We're even in Urban Dictionary.
Every time I've been out with friends - we've very rarely been bored or had the crowd cow us into anything less than a good time - a "fuck everyone and their shit" attitude is a necessity and a matter of survival here if you want to enjoy yourself with the clubbing scene.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
i do kind of miss it! especially seeing the lineup for get lost!!! i went for 3 years from '09-'11. but then '11 and '12 i went to sonar. and '13-'15 to bpm. i had kind of talked myself into thinking that wmc had become played out. what with the lack of rooftop parties, being so expensive, the douchebaggery, etc. but looking back over the last six years, and having been to those three big events, i'd still have to say that wmc is where it's at as far as cutting edge music nonstop 24-7! i've liked the structure of bpm and the local of sonar, but wmc is just relentless in terms of the amount of music.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
24-7 that's right.
Re: Too old for WMC thread?
These people need dance lessons, they have no rhythm whatsoever.

@ Rave Lizard ,
They are shocking aren't they. They could at least have the decency to step back from the front. I do :lol:
I felt a bit guilty for posting this , no one should be criticised for the way they dance :) But they would think I am wrong anyway. :)

YES I was there and I have never EVER seen digweed Destroy it like this. He never let up the last 2 hours was so intense its unexplainable.
He was what I hit on my short trip to WMC 2015 Saturday/Sunday 10pm - 5:30 AM Digweed at Treehouse
Sunday 6am - 12 noon Ship of Fools with Three Doc Martin, Cassy and many others
Sunday/Monday 12 noon - 6am Last resort party with Maya Jane Coles Mano La Tough Dixon Maceoplex Thugfucker
Think I only had 2 to 3 hours sleep Fck I am a mess, and turn 40 this weekend, getting too old for this Sht but it was worth it.
BTW seen digs a number of times at vagabond and I have never seen him explore so many genres and just rip you apart at the end. he never let up
Dixon was FU**ING AMAZING he has to be the most tripped out dj I have ever heard, just out of this world, HIGHLY recommend seeing him if he is in your neck of the woods
