Five of the Latest and Greatest WMC Parties

This week, you’re: admiring ice sculptures... with a DJ. Dancing in a bowling alley... with a DJ. Trying on bathing suits... with, well, whoever. Because it’s Winter Music Conference. And the following are five of the newest entrants in the party-laden field. Out with the old, in with the bowling.

THE EYE OF THE STORM

When All the Pool’s a Stage...

You require: The pool party to end all pool parties.
You’ll receive: What Ultra has dubbed their official pool for the week. The Delano’s even covering half of their massive swimming hole with a stage for the occasion.

THE WILD CARD

The Lounge Your WMC Week Requires

You require: Ice sculptures. Spin art. Armin van Buuren.
You’ll receive: All of the above at BMF Media’s 808 Music Lounge. Technically, you need an invitation. But non-technically, we think you’ll be just fine.

THE CULTURAL OPTION

Getting Trippy at the PAMM

You require: Something weird.
You’ll receive: A video performance mixing an R&B chanteuse, a lot of bass and a projection that’s designed to transport you through a postapocalyptic recreation myth complete with enveloping tsunami waves, violent digital storms and alien wreckage. But hey, if that doesn’t work: bar.

THE JACK OF ALL TRADES

Questlove, Oakenfold and Ice Skating

You require: A little bit of this. A little bit of that.
You’ll receive: Questlove in the disco. Paul Oakenfold in the bowling alley. The adjoining ice-skating rink for triple-lutz-ing to deep house with a group of friends until midnight. Nice to have a few options.

THE LAST SUPPER

It’s Sunday. Let’s Brunch.

You require: Ample Wagyu to make up for lost sustenance opportunities over the past week.
You’ll receive: Roasted Wagyu rib of beef, French brioche and cherry-blossom-smoked bacon from Morimoto. A Bloody Mary bar. Pool party shenanigans. Not necessarily in that order.
