Finally here in Miami and yesterday seemed a bit quiet for everyone. Although Tuesday is the official kick off day for WMC, people are still trickling in and saving themselves for other events happening later in the week. That was fine with me. I was exhausted, considering I had been up since 4:30 in the morning, and felt like I wanted to ease into the week as well.

After some sightings while walking around in the evening and having dinner (John B and his ferocious hair spotted at Ocean and 13th), we headed over to the Large label party at Sobe Live to absorb some deep house before heading on to harder things. We managed to catch Andre Harris‘ set and he wowed all of us, putting together a flawless, vocal driven set that had the early-night crowd on the dancefloor. If any of you ever visit Chicago, I HIGHLY recommend you visit his Saturday night residency at La Pomme Rouge.

After Andre, we booked it over to the URB party at Vagabond and spotted Treasure Fingers and Kill The Noise. Chatted with them for a minute, got Vimby.com to interview them for their website (the video should be up soon), and then headed inside to chat with Jeffrey and Richie of Blow Up DJz and watch Tommie Sunshine and Jesse Rose bang out their sets. The only disappointing thing about the night was not seeing more drunken escapades, although we did see a group dragging an 8 foot palm leaf behind them on Collins avenue at 3 in the morning.

Over the course of the week I’ll have a bunch of photos and tunes to put up, but for the moment, here is one WMC promo from DJ/producer Tom Sawyer (with a classic vocal sample) that’s a bit more of a big room sound but with some catchy synthwork, and on a completely unrelated note (but still in the spirit of bringing new music to everyone during WMC), a couple of new Lismore remixes for your enjoyment. They should whet your appetite for some of the other promos to come here in the next few days.
