WMC 09 Day 2

Our second day in South Beach started bright and early with a demo listen with Derek Scott Graves and Howard Kessler, among others. We asked them to listen to "Because of You", a track that we've been planning to pitch as a "radio" song. Great advice was received, albeit one of the panelists only said "I love the track. All you need to do is tighten it up." 

WHAT????? 

For all non-music writers, that translates basically into "I think you need more in your recipe, but i'm not sure what." Thanks for the help there, jeeves.

Quick break, and on to the marketing panel, which is always THE ONE SESSION that everyone should attend. Our packaging was well received (ie marketed well), and in high demand after the session. In all of it, though, the highlight was DJ RAP calling Science "Sweety". 

 love it.

Poolside, bumped into an old friend from college daze, DJ SHORTEE. Great to see her as always, and even better catching up with all that she's done for the year. Don't get to see her enough.

A few drinks to the wind later, we pass out, wake up at 1:30am, head to the Global Underground party to hear Darren Emmerson.

Lainie Capicotto, "He just got off the decks. His set is over."

"WHAT?????  He was the reason we decided to show late so we could hear his new stuff."

"That's too bad.  Wanna meet him?"  

"um, yeah!!!"

A few beats to the wind, and he's doing the robot dance in response to our cd cover, and seemed engaged. An introduction from Lainie didn't hurt, either. 

All in all a good day.

Our music got heard and placed in a lot of important hands, today. Now the product has to speak for itself, which, we believe, is better than we could ever promote it.

Until next update . . . .
