J-WOW WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE REPORT!
Last week I visited Miami and the winter music conference for the first time and I got to say that apart from some corny house swimming pool party’s with bongos.. it’s pretty fuc*ing cool!!! 5 days of intense clubbing and all sorts of musical activities (yeah right!!)
I played 3 shows and they were all cool.. both from the crowd point of view and from the rest of the artists that I was sharing the bill with.. people like L-Vis 1990, Kingdom, Riva Starr, Annie Mac, Dj Mehdi, Brodinski, Nadastrom, Trouble & Bass, Congorock, Toy Selectah, etc… A mind refreshing experience!
Most of the people, specially in Portugal, have a weird idea about what the music conference is… everyone instantly relates it with bad commercial dance music, and I have to admit that there’s definitely a lot of that happening… but there’s also a lot of good weird and futuristic music getting played around.
If u don’t believe me check out some pictures:

ROULET WHO?
Roulet is a young producer from Lisbon that, according to his myspace, is sourrouded by poop…
We don’t really understand why, since the music that he makes tastes like the best fish and chips you’ll ever be able t0 experience, with a unique and very personal approach to kuduro, house and Techno flavours.
Check his myspace songs to see what we’re talking about: http://www.myspace.com/roulet_trole
In case you’re still wondering WTF we’re talking about click http://www.sendspace.com/file/pi935s to download his Remix for Buraka’s Som Sistema track Kurum. Our friend Annie Mac liked it so much that decided to give it away for free on her blog (www.anniemacpresents.com)
