Large Music @ Sobe Live

Posted: 25 Mar 2009 07:10 PM PDT

Tuesday night's selections were more on the Deep House tip. Defected was throwing it down at Mansion(which you could see the crazy line to get in), while Large Music were partying over at Sobe Live. In the video above, Chuck Love sets up a track and then heads over to the mic to do a bit of scatting. Then he's handed a flute and goes ahead and rips it while Jon Cutler cues up his first selection. Chuck offers an entertaining twist on DJing and performing by playing guitar, wind instruments and singing. Roy Davis Jr. played a pretty nice set that got the crowd rocking, and then Jask went on after him. But then the club turned on the smoke machines and filled the room up with a white haze, and after awaiting for Cirque De Soleil to enter I got a little impatient and headed home, trying to save some energy for the rest of the week.

Posted: 25 Mar 2009 05:36 PM PDT

The stage for the Beatport Pool Party is coming along very nicely. When we first heard that the stage would be over The National's top pool we were a little perplexed about what it might look like, however now that we've seen it in beta, it makes total sense.

My WMC Track: Droog

Posted: 25 Mar 2009 03:29 PM PDT

A few moments ago I bumped into the Droog trio from Los Angeles on South Beach, who seemed pretty excited about their set tonight at the Leftroom & Wolf+Lamb 'Everything In Between' party at Electric Pickle. They each kindly agreed to share their biggest WMC bomb with the Beatportal community, the tracks that they are hoping will rinse out Miami the most this week. Here are Droog's big three WMC tracks.
