Hey peeps,

So here we are at last, back in action, our headz full of aural flavas and images + bodies totally exhausted after a week of absolute craziness by the sunny shores of Florida. Wishin’ those of you who didn’t do it had some good time while being provided with our updates, meanwhile those of you who did it have had a safe trip back home.

We would first like to thank the numerous people who’ve heavily contributed to enlight our staying in Miami this year, beginning with our partner, David Prince and all his team at the M3 Summit, those who’ve welcomed us at their parties : Zuleica and Annette @ MAW, Toni T @ Defected, jojo, Teddy & Bic Flores @ Therapy, Kevin Hedge, Mel Cheren and Adam Cruz @ West End Party, John Gambuzza and Jellybean Benitez @ Ain’t Nothing But A House Party, Ron D @ Flute, Julius the Madthinker & The 3°Global posse and the ones we may have forgotten. Not to mention the awesome amount of those who’ve shown us signs of support over there.

This Miami week was one of the craziest ones we’ve ever seen so far, from the big if not silly amount of events from a day to another to the wet heat reaching its peak last Saturday, this added to tons of new pieces of music (most of it on CD this year as also mentioned by our Swiss friend/partner Michael Fossati of spiritofhouse.com).

Although the situation is what it is in terms of sales, we’ve no doubt entered a new era with many people firmly going back to songwrtiting as opposed to those numerous sampled tracks we’ve been provided with for the last 10 years. Expect new projects (albums) to come from people such as Dennis Ferrer, Tyrone Francis, MAW (in October with a 1st single to be released in May), Anthony Nicholson, Larry Heard, PïrahnaHead (next month), Malik Alston, Jeff Mills and many others we’ll keep you informed about as time goes. But also an extensive review of the event here on IDMW.Com, our usual gallery in the days to come in conjunction with digitalradioshow.com. Not to mention some special video footage courtesy of sounds-up.com  and a whole bunch of new mixes to appear very soon. + Last but not least, the awaited launch of our record shop online in the weeks to come.

Stay tuned,

Frederic ‘MFSB’ Messent, editor
