    I've only been once and had an amazing time and that's coming from
    someone who hates big events....

    We (the label) were not quite ready to go until last year. Greg Long is
    still a new artist on the scene and Citrona is just barely a year old.

    This year looks to be even better as the downtempo (NuJazz -Broken Beat)
    events are going on just about every day verses 2 days and are more
    suited for doing business as well as hanging with friends and listening
    to music.

    There are some really great acts this year too: Dublex Inc. from Pulver
    Switchstance Recordings, Stereo Deluxe, Mole and more..
    The Compost party and Stereo Deluxe party were the best last year.

    Here are a few shots from the Stereo Deluxe party.
    The only thing (person) that will be missing this year is Oli. :(

    Here is the master list of most parties this year.

    Hope all this helps...

    But yes, it is worth it.

    Hit me off list and I'll give you more details of who's all meeting up.

    I haven't been back to S. Beach since living there in the early- to
    mid-'90s. I can't even imagine what it looks like now. When I lived
    there
    the WMC was a pretty small affair and was definitely the highlight of
    the
    clubbing year.

    I'm thinking about heading to Miami this year but I wonder, is it really

    worth it? I've heard all sorts of things about how the whole vibe has
    changed and how crass everything is now. Plus I guess there's a lot more

    gang-bangers than when I lived there (then it was crackheads).

    Anyway, the question is: is it worth it?
