Chica Plastika gets digitalized for WMC 2008. Check out her complete review and some original video clips from parties at this year's WMC 2008.

This Winter Music Conference is one feisty bitch, so we need clarity. Check out our meet-up schedule for WMC 2008. Among the highlights will be an appearance by local vintage synth electro-breaks producer Gosub, left, and a live performance by recently-dropped-from-Interscope-Records artists Simian Mobile Disco (Interscope, you dumb sonsabitches). And of course let's not forget Anja Schneider's return...

Here is part of a 3-hour mix of indie music that we put together for a private party at Typhoon Lagoon in Orlando. The collection includes Peter Laughner, The Presets, Gossip, LCD Soundsystem, The Streets, Simian Mobile Disko, Yuksek/Vicarious Bliss, Bonde do Role, Trans Am, Kreeps, The Goons of Doom, Pink Holes, Syclops, Sally Shapiro, and Cornelius.

Naljas, the only Dominican I know in Miami (that spent a 4 year hiatus wintering the cold in North Dakota, that is), delivers a smooth 30-minute mnml teaser in preparation for a big countdown to this year's WMC. This set has enough warped clicks and chopped, velvet synth loops to prepare you for more...

Audio for the Sub Static Tour will be supplied by Blackbox on January 26 at PS 14 featuring label heads Falko Brocksieper and Michaela Grobelny, aka M.I.A. The smooth minimal, progressive textures will be in full-effect from this duo, who have releases on some of Germany's finest majors including Treibstoff and ZYX.

WFTAW and hundreds of partyheads were witness to a wicked party at Joe's warehouse featuring Anja Schneider. We set up the sound for Sobebeats once again and the night/morn/afternoon was pretty fun. Thanks again for letting us help out! Anja Schneider, pulling the spirits of Fritz Loveradio and her best mobilee tracks, played for like 6 hours, which was a total treat in the warehouse til dawn.

Art collective The Evanhood really put together a night that revved up at The Yard on November 30, and Blackbox was happy to deliver. The huge art park-at-night/catering-bakery-in-the-day played host to a special evening featuring Lee Curtiss, whose releases and remixes on Spectral Music and Dumb-Unit have generated DEMF appearances and tours in Europe.

A teeny-tiny room off a back alley near 6th and Washington was the location of Sobebeats's Square Room 3 party in mid-October. This time they invited Frans Martins to play and Blackbox wheeled out the mini-rig once again. We threw some of the clips together as a thank you to the Sobebeats crew for the invitation and support. Check it out.

Sound waves aren't our only business. Those who know us are aware of our long-time support of surfing-related campaigns. We all surf and use some of the money from the mini-rig for travels abroad. You can imagine how cool it was for us to assist the local Surfrider Foundation chapter with audio for the South Florida premiere of Quicksilver's Young Guns 3 release. Thanks to Surfrider South Florida for all they are doing for the South Florida beach community.

A mix featuring tracks by: Emperor Machine, An2, SYD, Anthony Rother, Mount Sims, Alex Gopher, Tensnake, Coburn, Vicarious Bliss, The New Young Pony Club, Yuksek, Simian Mobile Disco, Yoko Ono with Peaches, and Digitalism.
