WMC’08: THIS IS NOW, THAT WAS THEN...
Time has now come to think about getting back to life for those who’ve made this WMC what it has been this year… Did it fulfil the expectations of both its actors and attendees? We may expect the reactions as to how it was seing the light on the heels of the usual recovery period following such a hectic week. Meanwhile, we’ve made our thang to bring you what we’ve thought as to be the most representative coverage in regards to our beliefs.
We would like to address our warmest thanks to the people who’ve contributed makin’ this possible, from those who’ve given some of their precious time to answer our questions to those who’ve provided us with their new and upcomin’ material. Not to mention the ones who’ve added their words editorially speaking.
This WMC’08 now behind, the moment has come for us to step out of the pressure for a bit. Meanwhile those of you who’ve been away from their screens for some reason are left with the opportunity to have a check at our WMC'08 Digest during the comin’ days. Full details while clicking on the (white) headlines. Peace y’all

WMC’08 – READER'S DIGEST
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!

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…

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…
