WMC 09 RECAPITULATION PART 2

By visiting the whole first part of the WMC 09, I didn’t stop seeing almost empty events even the amazing lineups were not attracting a huge attendance…

Even one of the top events such as ‘Shelter’ held at Shine didn’t convince me that it could be a successful Conference…

The Weather was definitely not at its best specially during the first days of
WMC 09, the Winter was still felt…

The Music, too seemed to have suffered of the transformation of our economy and so not many labels had anything new, but instead tons of mix-compilations and remixes…Were handed out and It was disturbing to realize we’re al touched by the actual Economy Crisis…

My 8th Annual WMC 09 RE-UNION held at the newly opened ‘HOT TUNA’ showed me that deep, soulful and funky house has still some serious followers, and it was a great honor and fun to have legendary DJ WAYNE WILLIAMS (founder of the “Chosen few”) spinning along such artists as like Mike Agentx Clark (Beat down sound Detroit) as well as our Local ‘hero’ Richard Vasquez…
The Live Performers such as KRYSTINE WALKER which has her new track ”Give Me A reason” on Vega Records, owned by none else than Louie Vega himself!
Harley & Muscle have shown me that the Italians are still deep into the House music, and that it will definitely continue to progress, no matter what!

Finally the surprising Master Kev which has totally choked us by playing that ‘crazy, tacky, and bad taste track…which made us wonder where he had lost his famed groove…

People that have made us dance were such as King Britt bringing his amazing colorful soul and tight beats during one of the last events “Philly’s Sundae” which was held on Sunday @ South Seas Hotel.

I had this uncanny impression, that the whole Conference was held on the cell phone screens, and everyone including myself was glued on the little screen surfing the net or texting to hundreds of people…

This WMC 09 was definitely different than the previous edition,
The Organization Website was having problem from the beginning, which was affecting the Labels which saw their listing starting to play cat and mouse with them, by disappearing and re-appearing and which caused a lot of aloof and all…

All in all my WMC 09 experience was great and I definitely enjoyed to hear some amazing sets delivered by such as DJ Wayne Williams or David Solero, which was closing the 8th RE-UNION and proved again, that he is one of the only soulful and deep house local DJ.
I would like to thank all the diverse Performers and DJ’s namely,
Seria Phatt for her song and performance of “Paradise”-Broken Records
Krystine Walker for her amazing performance of “Give Me A Reason”-Vega Records and as well as Richard Vasquez for his great Classic Set,
Mike AgentX Clark for his deep “D” set and mixes, Sanna my wife which made all problems and situation seems nothing by being with me on each and every step, also the kicking sound of Harley & Muscle as well as DJ ERV which has proven to hold the deck no matter bigger names during the 8th Annual RE-UNION party.

At last but not least I would like to thank Carlos Fusaro which has supported us to make all happening for the listings and features and so made it all possible!

The venue owners and responsible, Scott and Luis from HOT TUNA,
Ros from Flora, then Nicole from Casanova,
Which has been so much fun and joy to work with?

Then my local friends Marc Sachelli, Raoul, JP and Christian,
which have given me and Power Of Love Productions the possibility to experience the WMC 09 in a positive way.

So all your music fans, and makers, I wish you all a safe return to your homes and until next year!

Yours, Ron D *8*Lim – Power Of Love Productions
