DJ Dan, Dave Seaman and Escape Project - 2004 Miami WMC Perspectives
Didn't make it to Miami for the 2004 Winter Music Conference? We've lined up some DJs to spill the beans with their Miami experiences to give you a better idea of good (and bizarre) stuff that went down.
DJ Dan
The Ultra Festival 2004 for you was...
I had an amazing time. I wished I could have played a longer set though. The house tent was rocking for the short time I did play though. Overall, I would say Ultra rocked this year!
What was your highlight at this year's WMC?
My highlight was playing at the Clevelander Pool party. I knew half the people there and spirits were extremely high. It was like playing to a massive house party with close friends there to cheer you on! The pictures that came back from it were amazing and everyone is still talking about it being one of the best outings they've had in a long time.
The most inform DJ/Live act at the conference was...
I thought Carl Cox at Nikki Beach on Wednesday night was off the hook!
He totally blew me away as usual!
Which WMC party did you enjoy most?
I had a blast at the Subliminal party. I really enjoyed being a part of the crowd and hearing Erick Morillo rock the room! Many of my friends were too loaded to remember the night but I have to say I was totally impressed!
Hottest tune from the Conference?
Outfunk - "Lost In Music" (DJ Flex Remix)
Funniest experience in Miami this year?
Seeing a strange guy running out of my friends room at 7 am.
(GOD BLESS HER)
Who were you most surprised by?
P-Diddy! He was everywhere whether you liked it or not!
You ended your time in Miami by...
rocking out to Carl Cox at Nikki Beach doing shots of Tequila all night. I lost my voice by the end of the night but it did not stop me from going straight through without sleeping and going straight to the airport.
