Best party you played or attended?
Jump 'N Funk with Rich Medina
—Keen One (Miami, FL)
I only played one party, and it was nowhere near the best. I think
Sunday School for Degenerates wins that title again, but watching both the Masters at Work on four CDJs each, with Jazzy Jeff jumpin' in on Serato — on a yacht — that was dope bidness.
—Susan Langan aka Qzen, iTunes Dance & Electronic Programmer (San Francisco, CA)
Spectral Social at the Clinton Hotel.
—Anja Schneider, Mobilee Records (Berlin, Germany)
Spectral Social at the Clinton Hotel.
—Philipp Hofmann, Stars & Heroes (Berlin, Germany)
Somewhere between the Beatport Sessions at the National, Robots at B.E.D., and Sunday School for Degenerates at the Pawn Shop.
—Kim Booth, Rebel Butterfly Promotions (Paris, France)
Caught one or two Ed Banger sets that were great, and Rich Medina as always. Unfortunately, there was nothing mind-fuckingly stellar that really jumped out at me. That's what I look for at WMC: the next. No next this year. Maybe I just missed it. If so, bummer. For gear junkies, however, the Remix Hotel was an interesting stop, as always.
—Jason Jeffers aka Fitzroy (Miami, FL)
The Presets with Crystal Castles and Finesse & Runway at Churchill's — great vibes and one of the only 18+ events during WMC week.
—Lauren "Lolo" Reskin, Sweat Records (Miami, FL)
A tie between Kruder & Dorfmeister, Ben Watt, and Kraak & Smaak for free on the Raleigh rooftop, and the big Om party at Y Ultra Lounge!
—Gunnar Hissam, Om Records (San Francisco, CA)
The Wednesday-night afterparty at the One More Day Mansion, straight into the Scion Raleigh rooftop rave with the Rub, Justice, and Andy Smith on Thursday day.
—Roxy Cottontail, promoter/DJ (New York, NY)
I played a really nice event for Johnny Walker Blue Label with a big group of friends including Doug Lee (Rong Music), Justine D (Motherfucker), DJ Pube$ from LA, Blu Jemz (Turntable Lab), Lindsey Caldwell (Negroclash), and Chess Hubbard that was a real break from the normal MIA madness. Oysters, caviar, lots of top-shelf whiskey, and an enormous check at the end… What beats that?
—James F!@$%^ Friedman, Throne of Blood (New York, NY)
Three-way toss up between our Robots party at B.E.D. with Tiefschwarz, the insane afterhours gig at Pawnshop for Sunday School for Degenerates, and the Roam Music party on the rooftop of the Townhouse Hotel with myself, Three, Pier Bucci, and Mathew Jonson. I'd have to say that this rooftop party was the best party I attended. Really nice vibe and the setting was perfect.
—Bill Patrick, Robots (New York, NY)
Played? Chocolate Sundays at the Purdy Lounge, featuring A-Trak, the Bangers, Egg Foo Young, and the Stunnas. Attended? Ed Banger party at Studio A and the following afterparty at PS14 that went until 10am. Oof!
—Induce, WonderSound (Miami, FL)
Best party played was the Turntable Lab party with the rest of the MoneyShot crew at the Shore Club. The best party attended was probably the afterparty held at my house (One More Day Mansion) on Wednesday night after the Mark got shut down by fire marshals.
It was pure insanity, off the chainsaw, bonkers, banana-rama. Peaches, Spank Rock, JD of Le Tigre, Roxy Cottontail, Lastnightsparty.com, the Turntable Lab DJs, and half of Philly were all in the building. An amazing way to start WMC.
—Jake Jefferson, MoneyShot/One More Day (Miami, FL)
Best party played—and by played I mean planned—was the Ed Banger afterparty at PS14 … I pulled it together day-of, had Franki Chan draw a flyer, and we jammed 'til 10am. It was unreal. Best party attended was the penthouse party with Justice and MSTRKRFT. Amazing!
—Xavier Burt, MoneyShot/One More Day (Miami, FL)
