Big deep month ahead for this classic label
We know that the WMC is more about profile and the party rather than business deals, is it the most important date on the dance calendar still?
“It doesn’t feel that way. It’s still one of the best for parties and fun though!”
As thousands of next generation clubbers descend on the big events, do you feel the spirit of house music is being lost to a crowd looking for that instant anthem hit?
“YES! It has been for a long time though.”
Have you had to change your musical direction in the last year?
“We have one about every six weeks at Southern Fried Records…but there are lots of deep stuff coming through this first quarter of 2012.”
Is Miami losing it’s trademark cool and sexy house music vibe?
“For sure…”
What are your thoughts on the Dennis Ferrer ‘Mansion’ Miami club story – he was basically kicked off the decks for not playing commercial enough…
“Just stupid. Whoever booked him should be kicked up the arse!”
With clubs and charts being dominated by dance music worldwide, shouldn’t we be rejoicing it’s success rather than being bitter with crossover?
“Personal taste comes in here. We’re not bitter, we just choose not to listen to most of it.”
The party you looking forward to the most?
“Supplement Facts at Pickle and Crosstown at Pickle.”

Have you noticed a big dip in industry folk not attending these last couple of years?
“Not really, just a new generation dominating.”
What are your thoughts on the IMS in Ibiza? Will you be attending?
