Thank you to everybody

[demids]

Hello all,

just got back in the comfort I call home here in London and wanted to say a massive massive thank you to everybody that turned up last Friday at Maze.

The club is how everybody has been describing it: quite breathtaking both in terms of sound and size and was an absolute dream to play on.

Have had some incredible feedback from many people which means so much to me.

What happened on Friday is what I hope will be the start of something solid that can be built on at Maze. It has the potential to be similar to the ethos of Fabric in terms of pushing new and diverse sounds to the Miami scene instead of the usual bog standard ploddy tribal you hear for 5-6 hours straight all night in Miami and though what I played didn't it seems appeal to some of the people in attendance, I am not going to change my way of playing to appease.

I have to respect every man's opinion and will admit that i cannot possibly please everybody who turns up to see me play.

My intentions from the start have been to re-create the same atmosphere that has made Deeper Substance here in London a success story so far, in terms of both crowd but more importantly, the music.

I hope that I went in some way to achieving that on Friday and I am very much looking forward to a lot more DS parties being thrown there later this year

i liked ur sound...i was there for only a few of ur tracks...and i loved it...i had a prior engagement and i had to leave Maze early and go attend the other party...but i liked what i heard from u...all i can say is, even if u felt that no one really liked ur sound is to give it a chance...u have to build a solid party here in Miami...and that takes time and patience...i for one, loved it...it takes time to break into the Miami scene...people in Miami have "attention" disorders when it comes to music...but if u have patience it will work...thanks for coming to Maze and playing... and thanks to Maze for giving Demi and his sound a chance...good luck in the future...hope to hear and see u soon..keep up the good work:D

I had a blast, myself

Some people just are stuck in a rut down here. They want 126 BPM all night, and god forbid it changes.

Can't wait for Conference! ... should be massive ... :eek:

I'll share w/U a review featured in www.cooljunkie.com ... enjoy!

You normally only get visuals

from him, but our star

photographer Dan Vidal checks in

with a review of Demi's

appearance at Maze...

Friday wasn't looking too good.

Freezing cold temperatures, and a

minor case of congestion had me

feeling a bit rotten.

Despite this, I was going to go to

the much-anticipated premiere of

the Phat Music Sessions in their

new home at Maze.

One of two major parties making

their debut at Maze this weekend,

Phat Music Sessions, by local

scenester and all-around good

guy Marco D., brings in fresh

talent from overseas, as well as

two promising residents, Chris

Duque and Francisco "Mono"

Henao.

The last PM Session made waves

at Reserved when up-and-coming

DJ (and Danny T's "favorite Greek

boy") Demi kept a crowd of 200

people dancing from open till

close on a Thursday night.

Eager to see what he could do

with a Friday night at the most

technologically advanced club in

Miami, Maze and the PM crew

booked Demi for an encore set.

Chris and Mono started the night

off well, delivering a funky

progressive sound to the

already-building crowd. Watch out

for these guys, 2003's their year.

Around midnight the usual

suspects showed up to take in

the sights, including CJ

contributor Daniel Andrew, GU

messageboard honcho James

Sheridan, and the rest of the "CP

Mafia".

Trusty Pentax in hand, I did the

obligatory round of photos while

everyone was sober, and wormed

up to the DJ booth.

Mono's on the decks, handling the

unfamiliar X:one V6 mixer

flawlessly, and Level's Jorge

Tellez is taking Maze's impressive

lighting array through it's paces.

Around that time, marketing and

VIP director Carla comes up with

Marco and the hero of the evening

Demi.

Sporting my blue Deeper

Substance shirt, Demi eagerly

greeted this photographer, and

proceeded to get settled into the

booth.

By then the crowd had swelled,

with the dancefloor already

moving when Demi took to the

decks.

Expecting a soulful set like I had

experienced at the last Deeper

Substance party, I was surprised

when Demi came out of the gates

with a mix of progressive and

tech tracks, clearly playing for the

room, and the massive Funktion

One sound system.

The crowd ate it up, track after

track of energy spewing forth

from the cabinets. Maze had on

it's hands the most successful

Friday since their opening.

By then, word had spread of the

event. Local scenesters began to

show up, including Carmel Ophir,

Roly Aspuru (engineer of Maze's

amazing sound system), Biz

Martinez, and upcoming star DJ

Roland.

The true surprise visit was from

DJ Erick Morillo, who is reportedly

quite impressed with the venue.

Take it for whatever you want,

but I'll go on record as saying

Erick would do well to play Maze.

Demi clearly knew how to work

the crowd, keeping pretty much

everyone glued to the dancefloor

until closing time, and even

beyond!

For sure, this is the party to

watch in 2003. Combining

stunning resident and guest DJs,

a spectacular venue, an amazing

visual element, and a quality

crowd, PM Sessions and Maze are

a new force to be reckoned with

in Miami nightlife.
