Re: How was WMC??

Tuesday... the Pawn Shop was out of control. Those of you that made it there know what I mean. Van M played a nice warm up set but had some sound problems Diggers came on and rocked it. Hung out with devon and rubyraks for a little bit. Luckly for us Fanciulli never showed and we got to hear 4.5 hours of Diggers. The club turned the house lights after 5 and Diggers was killing it. You could tell he didnt want to stop. But he finally stopped around 5:30. Took a quick cab ride to the Warehouse to catch Danny Tenaglia for the first time. From thr minute I walked in until I left DT was fucking relentless. I had no expectains an was blown away.

Wednesday... I took the day off and saved up for the long weekend ahead.

Thurs... Went to the Proton Party and caught DJ Inc's nice downtempo set. I even got his promo before we headed to see Peter Kruder at the Tiffany. Nice start to an evening. Met rubyraks for a drink and then headed out to Spin for the LMR party. I saw a ton of old Atlanta friends and a lot of [ms] peeps there...ska, picklemonkey,devon,jib to name a few. Fanciulli stole the show. He dropped the infamous "Washing Machine Track". Easily the most memorable moment of WMC. Sander came on right after and was rocking it until he played the cheesiest 80s remixes back to back to back. It was so bad I left. It was my first time seeing Sander and it may be my last.

Friday...Made it to the Balance Record party for a quick second and caught Fortier before I had a quick bite and went to Amika to see Soul Mekanic tear it up. Left there and went to Harrisons for the EDM Digital party. Josh Relysis played a nice prog breaks set. Haberhsam was playing some nice downtempo stuff before Darkarma played a very nice live PA set. Hung out with ska and Localizer for most of the night. I went home early to save some energy for the Ultra Afterparty.

Saturday... Went to the Spleen party and met chuckc, remoh, picklemonkey, rubyraks, and ska. I chilled out there most of the day listening to some great music. I did make it to the frisky party for a few before heading to some hotel for free rum and red bulls. Left to get ready for the Ultra Carry On. What a huge disappointment. Doors didnt open till after 12 (the ticket said 11) and they closed at 5. James and Hernan were going back to back which was a pleasent suprise until Lavelle came on and killed the vibe. He wasnt even mixing!!!! People were booing it was so bad. The crowd was terrible. Way too many fucked up kiddies, light shows, guidos doing G. If you left the floor you werent getting back there. The sound was horrible and the only speakers were in the front near the booth. Thank God Lavelle only played for 30 min. Diggers came on and played a short set and had the place moving almost instantly. Sasha played for a bit and rocked it. For the last hour or so they tagged re-editing songs on the fly. Makes me want to fly to NYC this weekend. I couldnt believe they didnt even play 3 hours. As good as they were I will never attend another Ultra event.

WMC was great as usual but not as much fun as years past. I had a great time meeting a few [ms] post whores and hanging out with old friends. Cant wait to do it again next year.
