WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE 2010 [MIAMI]




So yes folks, the time is upon us: the 24th edition of MIAMI's famed WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE is set to go down this week in SOUTH BEACH and the greater downtown area...









Personally, I'm gonna be kicking off festivities starting on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24th with a special WMC edition of 'THE GREENROOM' show which will be broadcast live from MIAMI on BASSDRIVE.com. This edition will feature good friend and guests FUSION (the guys behind the excellent URBAN CHEMISTRY RECORDINGS and also BASSDRIVE Radio's very own 'LAB SESSIONS' program). UCR has a number of strong releases on its catalogue to date and they're now set to present the label's first various artists' compilation entitled 'STANDARD GRAVITY.'








** NOTE: Due to daylight savings time in the United States, the show will air @ 3pm central instead of 2pm (UK/Europe will remain on the regular schedule).






Also, if you're in MIAMI BEACH later this evening (MARCH 24), you can catch me LIVE alongside the vocal talents of JETT @ the WMC edition of 'STANK LOVE' going down at JAZID NIGHTCLUB. Info below.......

On FRIDAY, MARCH 26th I'll be doing a Back2Back set with ORLANDO's very own CIRCLE K and MC COLLABORATOR on the UMF RADIO STAGE @ THE ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL downtown in the early evening.









Later that evening on FRIDAY, I'll be back at THE LIQUOR LOUNGE for the 'DRIVEN AM + FRIENDS SHOWCASE' which will feature the booking agency and music label's roster of artists: ATLANTIC CONNECTION (alongisde FOCUS, for a BASIC OPERATIONS reunion set), RANDOM MOVEMENT, MIXMASTER DOC, SINISTARR, STRIFE, DAVE SHICHMAN alongside friends EDWARD OBERON, FLACO, SOL.
