Michael Fossati of SpiritOfHouse.com in the driver’s seat delivering the very last of his SpiritOfMiami daily updates for this year 2K8. With the Conference now definitely behind, time has come for him to chill a bit before makin’ his way back home…
SPIRITOFMIAMI # 07
As mentioned yesterday, I took it easy and did hang out on the beach then later with some friends (of course we had a couple of drinks). Later it was time to enjoy a good dinner, before heading out for the last party of the year: Live III by Unified Records with three rooms and a great line-up of DJ’s. Unfortunately, many people had already left, so the party was not as crowded as it could have been (remember that last year, Live II was one of the outstanding parties with almost everybody around).
There was a wonderful live performance by Chris 'Cee Rule' Foreman's Steal Vybe dropiin’ songs from their upcoming long player Shine. Judging by those songs, this will be a jewel not to be missed, including a marvelous cover version of the "Joy & Pain" classic (the original by Maze featuring Franke Beverley is one of my all time favorites).
So what else is to be said? As every year, I had joy hanging out with many of my friends and putting faces to names, and of course do networking. But when it comes to the value of the conference from a musical perspective, there are clearly mixed emotions. I will give myself a few days time before writing my "Miami Recap" where you'll be given some deeper view as far as my feelings are concerned...
Well, so long for 2008 and hopefully will hit you there next year!!!
