Spin It

Your Guide to the Winter Music Conference

You might have heard rumblings about a certain nonstop avalanche of sound making its way to our shores. Well, it's finally upon us. So we've done our due diligence and pinpointed the four WMC events you won't want to miss, not even for all the glow sticks in the world...

Paul Oakenfold at the Florida Room

Paul Oakenfold at the Florida Room

Why Go: This may be your only chance to catch the superstar DJ spinning house in such an intimate setting. The Delano's neo-speakeasy accommodates only about 200 people—a far cry from Oakenfold's typical stadium performances.
The Scene: European hipsters in nightshades.

Mar 26, 10pm, no cost, Florida Room, 1685 Collins Ave, 305-674-6152, RSVP here

Nervo at Café Bustelo

Nervo at Café Bustelo

Why Go: Australian twin sisters Mim and Liv Nervo performing live at this retro espresso depot. They're best known for penning David Guetta's hit "When Love Takes Over," but they've also got a sexy, dirty, electro sound going on. Plus, they're fairly easy on the eyes...
The Scene: Bikini-clad refugees from the Gansevoort's pool lounge.

Mar 25, 1-3pm, no cost, Gansevoort South, 2319 Collins Ave, 305-535-9999

Rare Vinyl and Free Beer at the Standard

Rare Vinyl and Free Beer at the Standard

Why Go: Even if you're not a vinyl junkie, you'll want to stop by this two-day records swap meet in the Lido Lounge to kick back with a few gratis Red Stripes and a boothful of local DJs (Induce, Tom Laroc, Manuvers and Elle). You'll also pick up a gift bag with day passes to the Standard spa and mud deck.
The Scene: Special-edition sneakers and tattooed yogis.

Mar 25-26, 3-8pm, no cost, The Standard, 40 Island Ave, 305-673-1717

DJs and Strippers at Gold Rush

DJs and Strippers at Gold Rush

Why Go: After a week of near-nude, DJ-fueled debauchery, you'll be primed for this unofficial closing party at a downtown gentlemen's club. The gang from Overthrow is hosting, so expect plenty of socialites letting their hair down... and music from Pirate Stereo, Tamara Sky and Hot Pink Delorean.
The Scene: PYTs and G-strings.

Mar 28, 8pm-5am, $25-$70, Gold Rush, 15 NE 11th St, 305-358-9848, tickets here
