Break out the body lights: the DJ-palooza known as Winter Music Conference is upon us. Herewith, the five events to get your fill of sexy Parisians, pool parties and... Snoop Dogg.
Why Go: The avalanche of music begins tonight with three DJs known as Def Mix, one of whom
basically invented house music. Look forward to remixes of U2 and Mariah Carey—you always thought
“Sunday Bloody Sunday” needed more drum and bass.
Keywords: industry insiders, Run DMC–era sunglasses
Why Go: Parisian songstress Uffie takes over the hotel’s Lido Lounge for this free
concert focusing on her debut album, Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans. The latter should be out in full
force; the former, perhaps less so.
Keywords: Pharrell, mustachioed artist types
Why Go: Nothing says gangsta like... DJing a mega-club at the Fontainebleau. Suggested
beverage: gin and juice, naturally.
Keywords: Swedes, Doggystyle aficionados
Why Go: If you can only make it to one 10-hour pool party this week, make it this. You’ll
know the DJ trio behind it from their famous New York party. This—their 15-year anniversary party—is
their first Miami appearance. (The traditional gift: glow sticks.)
Keywords: bikinis, asymmetrical haircuts, flip-flop tans
Why Go: Watching PVD (as you call him) do his thing is like watching any great artist hone
his craft—hundreds of devotees, an ample supply of, shall we say, mind-altering substances. (We’re
talking about the music.) Picasso probably painted under the same conditions.
Keywords: trance fans, Sprockets look-alikes
