WMC’08 – THE TIME IS NOW!!!
After almost a fortnight workin’ on it, time has now come for us to give you further details as to what is due to appear in the comin’ daze on IDMW.
Interviewise, expect none other than people, be they artists, DJ’s, label managers, broadcasters, PR’s, reviewers who we feel as openin’ a new path for hope, as opposed to the countless list of cut’n’ pasters around who, by their daily mediocrity, have progressively reduced the so called dance music to the rank of what many of us have ended up considering as a senseless unidentifiable magma (cf. our ongoing headlines list above as day go).
Musicwise – thanks to those who’ve sent us an unpreceeding amount of upcomin’ releases for the occasion – you’ll be delivered a special series of dedicated columns during the week supposed to cover your expectations depending on the state of mind you’re in. Be you addicted to soulful jams, atmospheric grooves or straight to da floor beats…
As usual, expect regular updates brought by SpiritOfHouse head Michael Fossati in addition to further reports by the likes of appointed local correspondants with extra pics provided by Jacksonville-based Mary Lane.
To all of you, wherever you are, thank you for comin’…

WMC’08 – THIS WEEK’S HEADLINES ON IDMW
The most awaited Miami gathering is just a few hours away. As an appetizer to this year’s festivities or a reminder of last one’s, our 2007 reader’s digest. Souvenirs, souvenirs!
Right on time as an opener to the Miami festivities, we welcome for the third time in a raw NYC-based BounceFM head Muema Lombe delivering his comments as far as our environment is concerned. No need for litterature, our long time friend goes straight to the point…
12 years of continuous devotion to the house scene have seen SpiritOfHouse.com honcho Mike Fossati makin’ a name among the handful of taste makers on a worldwide scale. Nuff reasons to have him representing IDMW during the Conf’ with his most awaited daily SpiritOfMiami reports…
03/25 - CONSORTIUM MUZIK: VANGUARDING THE SOUL...
This WMC’08 marks the first 12 months of existence for Big Cee’s imprint which has managed to come up with an interrupted flow of outstanding releases over the year, putting back the so called dance music to where it was back til the beginning of the eighties. In other words (to cut & paste those of the late Miles Davis), anything as long as it’s good…
From PRing to DJing, writing and eventually running her own label, Favouritizm head, Sarah Foote stands as the perfect illustration of the famous DiY spirit inherited from the Brits. No doubt how music would probably not sound as good without her…
Networking… There’s nothing like it as brilliantly demonstrated by this amalgamation of talents goin’ from strength to strength as years go. More about it with Julius the Mad Thinker in the driver’s seat…
From Kenny Dope to DJ Spinna not to mention Coldcut back in the day, hip-hop background has no doubt helped establishing a new approach/standard in the shapin’ of house (dance) music with Bay Area-based artist Carlos Mena adding his particular twist to it…
With a handful of upcoming activists from DJ Bruno to The Shadow kings not to mention Seed Recordings label head, Bradford James who recently joined the IDMW editorial crew, looks like the famous Boston cream has definitely found a new outlet…
Straight into the depth of one of the most respected webradios in the world with mastermind Sammy Rock who recently launched his own label…
What a better choice as to put an end to our series of WMC’08 daily features than welcomin’ Mark Brown in charge of this Chicago-based label credited for havin’ initiated the perceptible process of change on the approach of the modern groove…
From the most awaited remix package of ‘Warriors Of Africa’ on Shelter Records to the release of his debut LP awaited later in the year, not to mention his massive retouch of V’s ‘Born Again’ alongside the latest on Vega Records, our man’s name looks like on everyone’s lips. He told us he couldn’t do it this year in Miami due to a heavy schedule. So we’ve thought it would be good bringin’ him to you…
