The sound of Miami WMC 2010?
news | Jan 27th, 2011 | View Comments
More than anything, Miami’s annual Winter Music Conference is about hot new club music. You can bet that every DJ and record label owner in Miami this week is touting a bag full of promos, having spent most of the winter planning their release schedules and summer sets around WMC.
Whilst the conference’s relevance as an industry b2b event has waned in recent years, as the focus has shifted towards a week of non stop partying, plenty of records are still dancefloor-tested and broken during WMC, giving Miami party goers the opportunity to hear dance hits before they go on to dominate the summer’s festivals and club events.
Crystal ball in hand, we called up a number of DJs, both big names and up and comers, to find out which records they think will be big during this year’s WMC. Then we also analysed Beatport’s DJ chart data – specifically the top charted tracks of March 2010 – to seek out the tracks that are being charted and played the most by DJs currently.
We hope that the following list of soon-to-be-released cuts, top charted tracks, and DJ favourites gives some indication of how Miami’s WMC will sound in 2010.
