Widely regarded as a leader of the new sound of house, Jamie Jones is renowned for his innovative music; his cross genre band, Hot Natured; and his pioneering label, Hot Creations. In a short time, he has catapulted himself to stardom by shattering the invisible confines of genres, and breaking out of the minimal techno motif.
Duke Dumont, surfaced in 2006 with a buzzing, whip-cracking remix of Mekon's "Yes Yes Y'All." The London, England-based producer and DJ, inspired by "fidget house" figure Switch (M.I.A., Major Lazer), continued to increase his exposure through remixes for the likes of Late of the Pier ("Bathroom Gurgle"), Bat for Lashes ("Daniel"), and Lily Allen ("The Fear") prior to releasing his first DJ mix album, Fabriclive 51, in 2010. In 2012 alone, he handled tracks by Bonobo, Santigold, and AlunaGeorge, among others — but he also produced a hit of his own in March 2013 with "Need U (100%)." Co-produced by Futtize and featuring vocals from A*M*E, the track, reminiscent of early-'90s crossover house, topped the U.K. pop chart. One year on, in March 2014, Dumont hit the U.K. number one spot once again, this time with the Whitney Houston-sampling track "I Got U."
As one of 2008's most talked-about albums, Youth Novels – a postmodern pop masterpiece combining elements of folk music, hip hop, singer/songwriter confessionals and more – established Lykke Li Zachrisson as a true innovator of melody and style. Lykke Li's gearing up for a big 2014. In 2013, Lykke Li contributed to David Lynch's second album, The Big Dream, performing vocals on the lead single "I'm Waiting Here." That year she returned to the studio with long-term collaborator Björn Yttling, alongside Greg Kurstin (the Shins, Foster the People, Lily Allen) to record her third album, I Never Learn, which was released in May 2014. This third album compeltes what she considers a trilogy that began with 2008′s Youth Novels.
Jamie xx is the bashful beatmaker of lo-fi Mercury Music Prize winners the xx, who carved out a name for himself outside the band thanks to a host of critically acclaimed post-garage/dubstep remixes. Jamie xx's first new solo single in three years, "Sleep Sound" was released May 5th 2014.
Comprised of EDM's most recognizable names, Hot Natured are producers Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Luca C, and Ali Love. Credible dancefloor names in their own right, the collective grew out of original members Foss and Jones' production outfit and label Hot Creations. The four-piece outfit seamlessly harnessed the individual talent of each member and created sunny, anthemic, and melodious house music. In September 2013, they released their debut full-length,Different Sides of the Sun, which featured a guest appearance from ex-Moloko frontwoman, Róisín Murphy
If there is one person, who has been causing a stir on the international club circuit recently, it is Barcelona's John Talabot. Already his debut "My Old School" (which is meant literally by the way) on Permanent Vacation in 2009 and shortly after that the single " Sunshine", which he put out on his own Hivern Disc imprint, made him one of the most promising musicians of the Spanish electronic scene. And those two releases also already set the mark for John Talabot's unparalleled music: raw, loopy, heavy on the kick drum, sample based, moderate on the tempo, distorted on the drums and light years away from the clean and ever revolving house sound of today. This unique style which also blends influences from afro beat, Detroit techno, Chicago house and cosmic disco, but also northern soul or the energy of Flamenco, immediately turned some heads around. James Murphy, Âme and Aeroplane started including Talabot music in their sets like it was the most natural thing. However – and this is quite rare – he not only gained legions of fans in the house and disco community, but also amongst the leftfield pop and indie rock followers. NME and Resident Advisor both had "Breakthrough" features on John Talabot and he can be proud of a "Best New Music" dubbing on Pitchfork. (Being rather elusive on showing his face in magazines or the web it also came to some funny rumors that John Talabot was the alter ego of a well-known techno producer from Detroit).
At the same time he drew the attention of like-minded artists like James Holden and Luke Abott from Border Community, Blondes or Delorean, which lead to a bunch of fertile collaborations: Luke Abbot and Blondes remixed Talabot's "Sunshine" single , John Talabot remixed a track by Delorean and vice versa Delorean's Ekhi contributed vocals to the track "Journeys " on John's album). Another example is the Young Turks Label (home of Jamie XX, Holy Fuck, El Guincho orSBTRKT ) on which he released the "Families" EP in 2010. It was praised beyond limits. Pitchfork for instance hailed: "… where pop and house influences sweetly buffer up against one another to provide an unyielding sense of elation" and even brought Talabot a comparison with artists like Four Tet or Caribou.
While staying true to his sound, John Talabot has nevertheless shown a constant evolution as a producer since his first release. He has traced a solid musical path that has turned him into one of the big references of European House and has made him also a highly in demand Remixer (for the likes of The XX, Francesco Tristano's "Aufgang" project, Shit Robot on DFA, Thaiti 80, Joakim or Teengirl Fantasy to name just a few ).
A progression that now crystallizes in "ƒin", his first full-length album for Permanent Vacation. A record, in which the Barcelona mastermind sets aside the danceable immediacy to expand his stylistic palette more than ever. For that purpose, Talabot melts all the elements that have constructed his distinctive sound until now and makes them emerge from a new perspective, in which the construction of complex song structures, intricate rhythms and superpositions of ever-evolving melodies and atmospheres pick up the baton of the "a kick-drum and a sampler" philosophy of his initial productions. The result brings us 11 tracks (we should call them songs really!) dominated by dark ambiances, gaseous textures and bittersweet moods that, above all, reveal a kind of vivacity that's really hard to find in contemporary electronics. "Fin" is far from being a track collection. From the majestic opener "Depak Ine" to it's solemn ending with "So Will Be Now" , one of the two tracks that features Talabot's soul and label mate Pional, each song traces an overall dialogue with the rest, culminating a highly emotional journey through Talabot's always compelling and unique musical vision.
10 years! My god, that is a LIFETIME! I cant believe I have been making records on a national level for 10 years. In 1999, I was just making these little beats in my bedroom for release on an independent label. Fast forward to 2009, and I'm….making these little beats in my bedroom for release on an independent label. Ok, to be fair, some things have changed; a bigger studio, I OWN the studio, I OWN the independent label, and instead of driving 10 blocks to a gig in m hometown, I fly 10 hours to a gig in another country. But when it all comes down to its most base level, the goal is still the same: to make a piece of music that is going to hopefully rearrange your brain, or at least provide some relief from real life for a moment or two. So let's take a look at what's happened over the course of those 10 years….
Things all started in Columbus, OH with Fondle 'em records and a rap group I was in called the MHz. We did a few 12" singles in the late 90's on (the now defunct) Fondle 'em, which lead to one of the members, Copywrite, doing a record on (the now defunct) Eastern Conference, which I produced some of. Those early singles also brought me to the attention of Definitive Jux, with whom I signed to(after having my demo turned down by virtually EVERY label in the US and UK that did anything remotely instrumental or weird in hiphop!). After a few singles and songs came out in 2001 under "rjd2", 2002 saw the release of "Dead Ringer", my first solo album. That year became the first in a series of whirlwinds that seem to change shape annually, but never slow down. I toured the world for the first time-Europe/Japan/the US several times, licensed music to an auto company of yesteryear called Saturn, spent time opening for DJ Shadow, and moved to Philadelphia. The following year of 2003 saw the release of "The Horror EP", remixes for Massive Attack, Mos Def, Polyphonic Spree(among MANY others), more touring, and the release of the first Soul Position album, "8 Million Stories". While traveling the states in support of the Soul Position album, I had my MPC plugged into the cigarette lighter of a rented minivan, feverishly slaving away. These tracks I made during drives across the US would become the 2004 album "Since We Last Spoke". By then, "Dead Ringer" had surpassed 75,000 copies worldwide, and had gotten a fair amount of attention, including folks like David Lynch and Mark Ecko, among others.
With the 2004 release of "Since We Last Spoke", I hit the road for my first headlining tour ever. Armed with 4 turntables, an mpc and a video rig, I made my way across the US and Europe for the third year in a row. The production work for other artists also continued for both rappers and singers(Diverse, Tweet, Fallout Boy,Cage, etc). But unbeknownst to the rest of the world, this year was critical in the path that lead me to where I am now: I made the decision to not resign with Definitive Jux. It was really my first move outside of a comfort zone, and into uncharted territory. It was also the start of realizing a vision of being my own boss, both creatively AND business-wise. 2004 was also the beginning of my love affair with "vintage" synthesizers and restoring them; this would lead to things later…
The next few years saw the release of many side projects: a 2nd Soul Position LP-"Things Go Better With RJ and Al", a collaboration with Aceyalone-"Magnificent City", the scoring of my first video game-"Mark Ecko's Getting Up", and the usual remixes and production work for other artists. I also contributed to the cookbook "I Like Food, Food Tastes Good", a cookbook of musicians' recipes. Still waiting for a Vol. 2 so I can include my homemade apple/walnut/raisin pie. Of course, I toured to support the records this year as well(I have traversed the continental US at least once a year since 2001-watch out for my comprehensive guide to espresso in America). But throughout this period of 2005-2006, I was working on some recordings that would mark the furthest reaches of anything I had done to date….
These recordings became 2007's "The Third Hand", a record that was done with a specific methodology in mind: get as far as I could using strictly my own resources. This meant using theMPC sampler, as I always had for my solo records, but primarily for the drums. But save for a few small passages, all of the instrumentation was performed by myself in a studio I had spent years building up to mimic the types of keyboards/guitars/amps/synths/etc that would have appeared on the types of records I COULD have been sampling. And in keeping with the intent of weaning myself off of the samples I had relied on for so long, I took on the duties of vocalist as well. My take on "sample based music" had always been to try and make things that felt like pop records, in the sense that they had a vocal element, but had the urgency and immediacy of funk or hip-hop records. To boot, I arrived at the decision to do the record on XL recordings, as I felt they believed in the record the most. Thus, 2007 was a year that many saw as one of departures, but to me was more another stop in what is hopefully a long journey. I decided at a point that I'd rather look back on a varied catalog that was interesting and challenging, than one of multiple attempts at the same vibe, with varying degrees of success. Furthermore, I just cant get excited about doing the same thing over and over. And if I cant get excited about the music im making, how can I expect someone else to?
Which brings us to now. After two years of touring as a headliner in support of "The Third Hand" with a full band, as well as winning my first award, ASCAP'S best TV Theme for my recording the Mad Men theme-its time for my 4th solo album, "The Colossus". As "The Third Hand" was my firstTRULY solo album, with NO guest performances whatsoever, I decided to do the opposite of sorts this time: an album that is as collaborative as possible; an "overview" of all the different types of working approaches ive used over the years; some strictly sample-based material, some live; some guest vocalists, a few songs I sing,; both instrumental and vocal. As this was all tracked at the same time, I think it has a cohesive feel to it. Featuring Phonte Coleman(Little Brother, Foreign Exchange), Kenna(Star Trak, VA Beach), Aaron Livingston(The Roots' "Guns Are Drawn"), Columbus mc's The Catalyst, Illogic, and NP, and a slew of instrumentalists, I think I can safely say this is the most sonically lush and varied record I've ever done.
The last piece of the puzzle is that this record marks the first album I will release on my own label, RJ's Electrical Connections. In addition to re-acquiring the master recordings to ALL of my Definitive Jux catalog, and re-releasing them, this marks a massive step towards being completely working on my own terms, artistically and business-wise. Cheers-here's to many more to hopefully come.
Growing up in between New Jersey, Sicily and Parma, Manfredi Romano is DJ Tennis. The name is not accidental, since he was a semi-professional player and has a passion for the sport, while he was a DJ at the tennis club of which he was a member. Over the past 2 decades DJ Tennis has written music for theater, soundtrack films and television commercials. With influences from psychedelic dark and melancholic sounds of the early 60s until the IDM 2000s, there were many artists who influenced him: Beach Boys, The Who,Talk Talk, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and Plastikman to name a few. DJ Tennis created in 2010 along with Thugfucker's Greg Oreck the label Life and Death, home of releases from artists such as Tale Of Us, Pillowtalk and WhoMadeWho.

Shrouded in secrecy, hidden behind an alias and disguised by a beard, Chet Faker is an artist that enjoys the mystery.
Hailing from the tight-knit deep disco scene in Melbourne, Australia and taking elements from an acoustic past, Chet Faker has carved out his own style that fuses personal stories of love and loss with an electronica soul, which reaches far beyond his homeland.
Chet quickly came to everyone's attention when his cover of 'No Diggity' hit number 1 on the worldwide indie music aggregator, Hype Machine.
Now Chet Faker is poised on the next phase of his development, his full length album, "Built on Glass" was released April of 2014.
Hercules & Love Affair is a musical project from New York formed in 2007 by DJ Andy Butler. With a little help from his vocalist friends Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons), Kim Ann Foxman, and Nomi, Andy is reviving the spirit of real disco and the house sounds it spawned with enough passion and finesse to ignite both the underground and the pop world all over again.
In its name, sound and romantic, heroic spirit, Hercules & Love Affair is the result of Andy's dedication to the Classics: both the myths and legends of Ancient Greece and Rome that captured his imagination as a child, and the timeless club tracks that soundtracked the euphoria and delirium of his adolescence and adult life.
Born in Haiti and raised in the city of Montreal, Canadian artist Kaytranada has experienced an explosive rise in the past couple of years with his irresistible production and live sets, but the hard work and success did not happen over night. Before touring the globe and amassing millions of hits online with his series of beloved tracks and mixes, the young man came up as a true disciple, absorbing hip hop and R&B culture since his childhood and finding ways to make the music his own.
Canadian multi-instrumentalist and multimedia artist Mac DeMarco's most impressive trait is his undeniable and instinctual ability to compose magical pop jangles, which he refers to as "jizz jazz." His dusted jams have garnished him accolades that are as ever-increasing as his song-writing abilities. "As I'm getting older, chip up on my shoulder…" is the opening line from Mac DeMarco's second full-length LP Salad Days, the follow up to 2012′s lauded Mac DeMarco 2. Amongst that familiar croon and lilting guitar, that initial line from the title track sets the tone for an LP of a maturing singer/songwriter/producer.
Based in Montreal, Tiga is a DJ/producer who has effectively worked the underground and the mainstream with his wry brand of campy electro and stark techno. Born in Montreal, Canada, Tiga's first exposure to his future came from touring the Goa area of India with his DJ father throughout the '80s. Tiga began spinning in Montreal's cooler clubs in the early '90s, bringing the acid house sound to Canada. Seeing as how there weren't any events like the Goa parties he had attended, the DJ made his own and later was credited with throwing Canada's first proper rave
"Howie and Vallance are worthy of attention for how they fuse house with genuine singing and songwriting talent, as well as a live aesthetic that comes through clear and cohesively" – Ibiza Voice
"Hankering for some moody, post-club music that doesn't totally expunge the fire within? Bob Moses might just be your men." – Resident Advisor
"Vancouver deep house duo Bob Moses are giving us all a glimpse into the future" – DJ Mag Canada
Canadian grown (legally), New York formed duo Jimmy Vallance and Tom Howie are one of the latest acts to release on the boutique label Scissor and Thread. Although only cordially discussing music and life in the same high school art class in Vancouver BC, it wasn't until several years later that they bumped into each other at a Lowe's parking lot and teamed up to make the act now known as Bob Moses.
Music that will make you want to build a highway through a low income neighbourhood.
Kelela Mizanekristos is a Los Angeles-based vocalist and songwriter, born and raised outside of Washington DC. Kelela's debut mixtape, Cut 4 Me, is the culmination of a long journey, exploring the space between loss and freedom, and the process of letting go as a catalyst for growth. Situated in a universe where pop is necessarily challenging, Kelela's songs are the result of her passion for the synergy between the vocalist, producer, and DJ. Since the release of CUT 4 ME Kelela began releasing a slew of standalone tracks featuring her collaborations with mc's and producers in and out of her network of like minded artists. She is also hard at work on her debut album. Kelela has toured the United States + Europe extensively and will continue to expand her live universe with a handful of upcoming headline and festival dates.
Jacques Greene is a young house producer from Montreal with a deep, deep taste for techno, R&B, ukf and Chicago house. His first 12 inch, Baby (I Don't Know What You Want), was released in 2010 on Night Slugs. He has since released another 7 EPs, such as The Look, a 4 track 12 inch on LuckyMe.
Thundercat is a monster on bass. A virtuoso. A phenom. His stupendously nimble playing is akin to a jazz player's, and that influence is felt on his debut album, The Golden Age of Apocalypse, co-produced by Flying Lotus and out now on Brainfeeder. But, like FlyLo's brilliantly spaced-out 2010 LP Cosmogramma (which featured Thundercat on several tracks), Apocalypse updates the 1970s jazz fusion of Herbie Hancock and Roy Ayers with a modern sheen. The music resides somewhere between Stevie Wonder and Sun Ra, its open optimism made slippery by the undulating arrangements and Thundercat's always-on-the-move fretwork and humbly soothing singing voice.
Wave 1 is the first new transmission the world has received from producer Seth Haley since his gloriously futuristic debut album Galactic Melt. That album cataloged the genesis and evolution of Haley's alter ego Com Truise — the world's first synthetic/robotic astronaut, as Haley described him — and this EP continues the character's journey into the outer reaches of the musical multiverse. In the process, it also builds on Haley's signature production style, one that's rooted in classic sci-fi sounds and analogue textures but nevertheless manages to sound utterly contemporary.
Haley described Galactic Melt as a "sort of film score…from the mind," and Wave 1 works the same way, evoking the latest stage in the intergalactic journey of Com Truise — and leaving you wondering what corner of the cosmos he'll visit next.
Austin Paul has transformed the very way Miami natives view neo-R&B that has fluctuated in growth these past few years. The sleek, minimalist nature of the genre has attracted a crowd of passionate music listeners looking for a 'real-world' escape. It was his first EP, Velvet, where Austin Paul won over tastemakers of all kinds, with the most prominent one being the ever-so fashionable Pharrell. Since then, Austin Paul has released the two last EP's to complete his trilogy.
Rone (otherwise known as Erwan Castex) is one of the most acclaimed French musicians on the electronic scene. He studied film at university and worked on a number of productions whilst pursuing music in his spare time. InFiné came across some of his tracks on the web ("Bora") and got in touch with him. From then on, things went very fast: he released his debut EP (2008), performed his first live show at the Rex Club and released his first album, 'Spanish Breakfast', in 2009. With the release of 'Tohu Bohu' in the autumn of 2012, things reached a whole new high. Now living Paris after living 3 years in Berlin, the artist's creative juices seem to be flowing like never before, combining a melodic straightforwardness with the firmly harnessed power of analog soundscapes.
Given their unabashedly lo-fi aesthetic, their predilection for psychedelia, and their old-school pop sensibilities, Jacuzzi Boys sound like direct descendants of 1960s garage rock. The band's profile enjoyed a healthy boost following some favorable media coverage (the band's 2009 split 7″ with Woven Bones was featured on Pitchfork) and an endorsement from none other than Iggy Pop, who dropped the band's name in an interview with Urban Outfitters, and it wasn't long before they found themselves on the roster of Sub Pop offshoot Hardly Art. Jacuzzi Boys' sophomore album, Glazin', was released in August of 2011. After spending a bunch of time touring and getting a song in the Seth Rogan movie50/50, the band headed to the Key Club Recording Co. to lay down their third album. The results were mastered by legendary sound wizard Kramer and released to the public as Jacuzzi Boys via Hardly Art in early autumn of 2013.
Lazaro Casanova is a full time groove-making producer, DJ, & label owner. A Brooklyn art school drop-out, Lazaro was always deeply immersed in music one way or the other. Sailing from Miami, FL he has anchored himself to innovate and push forward thinking music while heavily borrowing that rare good feeling from the classic house days. Proven time traveler, skilled astronaut, and professional Cuban, expect to hear an eclectic array of sounds spanning from anywhere and everywhere.
Will Buck is Boston born and bred, instilling in him the smart city sense his performances and music now reflect. The pulse of this early background cemented his lifelong resect for, knowledge of, and appreciation for music in all senses. He's been a DJ his entire life, spending time all over the world, from Europe to New York. As a founding member of Miami based label, Space Tapes, and The Deep NYC, his concentration has never wavered, and he continues his rise with his exceptional music production and vision.
Miami bred DJ and producer JBZ takes over rooms with his up tempo synthesis of deep house and tech house.
Aside from being a prominent member of Pro Club, Nuri has certainly built himself quite a reputation as an established producer within the Miami music scene. Perhaps his most significant contributions was seen with the latest project from Broward's own Robb Bank$, Tha City.
If DZA were spinning at the Super Bowl, it would quickly become the best and biggest arena-size house party ever to exist. His sets are just that fun. It's tempting to label his style throwback—especially owing to the fact that he'll pepper his mixes of hip-hop and house with '80s R&B jams—but he'll throw anything into the mix, regardless of when it was released.
His curatorial style is what has made Peachfuzz every Friday at The Garrett the most popular party in downtown Miami. He's also behind DZA's House, a monthly old-school house music party at Bardot. That said, the man is in demand, and can be caught spinning everywhere from South Beach to Hollywood.
Born in Mexico City, Agai found himself naturally attracted to music, picking up the guitar at a young age. He later found himself attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. There, he and roommate, Isaac, decided to make extra spending money DJing at local clubs under the name Pirate Stereo. After countless sleepless nights obsessing over the debut album by French electro-house duo, Justice, Pirate Stereo decided to delve into the world of production. By lucky happenstance, one of their first ever remixes was for their then-college classmates, Passion Pit, and their hit track, "Sleepyhead". That remix garnered much underground buzz for the burgeoning producing duo, which eventually led an opening slot on Passion Pit's Mexican tour in 2010.
Fast forward to the present. Pirate Stereo is riding solo. Still producing on occasion but mostly focusing on his innovative DJ sets, Agai has his hands in many musical pots. From being one of Miami's most sought-after influencer DJs to promoting the city's best notorious deep-house party,Slap & Tickle, to, most recently, throwing a three day music festival in the rainforest of Mexico, Agai is, no doubt, a rebel with a cause. His main purpose is simple: spread the gospel of good music by any means necessary – through commercial radio or pirate stereo – because in this life, all good music will always prevail.
New York City born Bonnie Beats is a modern day renaissance woman (scientist, musical chameleon, and fashionista). The tech nerd tuned – tastemaker – turned – super talent; in just 3 short years is one of Miami's rising stars.
Raised on the sounds of the Caribbean soul, Latin Jazz, and Motown, this young and ambitious DJ/Producer is all about taking you to that "feel good place." A craftsman whose ambivalent to the term "commercial," draws her inspiration from the first sightings of House including French House, Deep House and Jack, straight to earlier dance influences such as old funk, and early dubs. All of course, tying into a night of dance reminiscent to the early underground sounds of New York disco-style clubs.
The band Krisp has opened for acts Nancy Wang (LCD Soundsystem), Miami Horror, Junior Boys, Blood Orange, and Holy Ghost!, among others.

Miami band Kodiak Fur is made up of four members: Chris, Albert, Zeus, and Steve. Kodiak Fur released an EP in 2013 with four vibing, sensual songs that may take you on a trip back to a place you feel you haven't been to in a while.
Singer/songwriter Mario Giancarlo and multi-talented instrumentalist Jorge Velásquez combine their talents as the duo Hunters of the Alps.
They began as an electro-tinged collaboration where Mario and Jorge could focus on different aspects of their musicality they had previously sidelined. The pair describes their music as moody, electro body moving dark rock pop.
The duo are inclined to stretches of mood building synthsanchored by mid and up tempo beats. Well-versed in music production, the synergy between the two is evident in every output. Gifted with mining their combined depth of knowledge to produce catchy melodies, danceable grooves, and heartfelt lyrics, Hunters of the Alps continue to prove that Miami-based talent has its place in the global music market.
Always eager to perform, the duo (sometimes with accompaniment) have opened up for various renowned acts such as Tanlines, Twin Shadow, and throughout their musical career with world known indie rock groups (The Killers, TheWalkmen, Franz Ferdinand, Peter Hook, The Stills and more).
Hunters of the Alps is currently prepping songs for an EP release in the near future. The single for light away and time has been available for steaming on their soundcloud.
BLUEJAY is the new underground sound of Miami – a mix of indie, tribal, folk, and pop.
The live shows are an enchanting romp – a well-balanced mix of pop hooks and compelling tribal cries from the depths of the spirit, all tied together by three-part vocal harmonies and the low singing lull of the cello.

If you have been to the Electric Pickle, you have probably seen a black-haired, super chill dude bobbing his head behind the booth. His name is Sebastián Silva, a.k.a Basti, and besides being a resident DJ at the Pickle, he is also an Argentinian Producer and one of the architects of the underground electronic music scene in Miami. His journey began in 2000, when he fell in love with beat matching after his roommate found a turntable with a small mixer in a closet in their apartment.
In 2008, Basti became a member of the PLOT collective. He participated in the production of many cool events in Miami, including the Wolf + Lamb Experience— with acts like No Regular Play, Soul Clap, Tanner Ross, and Nicolas Jaar. He has also opened for kick-ass DJs/producers, such as the techno house master Seth Troxler.
After 15 years of beats and palm trees, Basti is moving back to Argentina in December. Fortunately, he has been planning several surprises for us before he reunites with his motherland.
In 2008, Patrick started Nightdrive as a humble weekly event at The News Lounge in the upper east side of Miami and developed the name over the years to represent a new locally-grounded effort to push Miami's club and music scene to new levels. During that period, he also refined his skills and taste as a professional DJ, securing regular sets at some of Miami's most popular clubs including The Electric Pickle, Bardot, and Grand Central. Known for his affinity for disco and deep house jams coupled with re-edits of pop classics, Patrick brings a unique mixture to the dance floor.
Born and raised in Miami, Santiago Caballero was able to discover dance music at a young age. A musical passion turned to a life's obsession while at studying in Boston, where he was a resident at various clubs around the city.
Yet, only upon his return to Miami did the obsession find its true purpose. As one of the founders of Slap & Tickle, Caballero, along with Pirate Stereo and Troy Kurtz, helped turn a small underground party into Miami's Best Weekly Party.
Recently, Caballero has turned his attention to music production, with his remix of Dude Skywalker's "Let The Sunshine," releasing mid August on petFood Records. With an EP in the works, and various bootlegs ready to see the light of day, it's likely you'll be seeing and hearing much more from him in the coming months.
MillionYoung is a pseudonym for South Florida's Mike Diaz. Mike's music is a refreshing form of Chillwave, with a lot of bright synths, dreamy dripping nostalgia inducing backdrops and the occasional guitar. He released his first EP in 2009, entitled "Sunndream". His second EP was released in early 2010, entitled "Be So True".
The Miami Beach duo consists of Sean Wouters and Nicolas Espinosa. Their music has the starkness of garage rock combined with the eagerness of '80s punk, and some bluesy melancholy mixed in for good measure.
In the beginning, there were sleepless school nights spent searching, discovering new music.

Jean Jacket, fronted by Harlowe G., has taken the notoriously difficult Miami music scene by storm. Initially a solo project, the group features a changing lineup of performers alongside the mastermind, including the talented Stephanie Taylor, Alex Lopez from Krisp, and fellow local act Million Young. Harlowe wrote, composed, and produced the first album over the course of one year in 2012; the laid-back, retro-futuristic sounds create a sonic canvas for an album that is a "marvelously twisted ode to lust, loss, and everything in-between." Harlowe worked on the album at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, alongside his longtime friend and producer, Josh Berg, before returning to the sunshine state to debut the self-titled work.
Hi, my name is DJ YNOT. I've been a staple behind turntables for over a decade. My ability and dedication to the art forum along with crowd pleasing selections have lead me to share the stage with everyone from Hip-Hop legends The Wu Tang Clan to Pop Icon Britney Spears. In a quest to push musical boundaries my "turntable wizardry" has earned me the honor to play alongside such DJ luminaries as A-trak, Peanut Butter Wolf, Kenny Dope, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Questlove, Rich Medina, Kon, Cosmo Baker, Nu-Mark, Craze, Scratch and Dam Funk among others.
Once upon a time I was a catalyst for the local Orlando scene by promoting and hosting events exposing musical aficionados to international talent and artistry. Held down a two year run at Club Firestone for the infamous Saturday Thursday party. Also honed my skills in the downtown Orlando institution known as the Illustrious Cleo's Lounge where I spent 7 years holding it down on Wednesdays. In addition helped conceptualize the forward thinking dance party "Lazy Afternoon" dubbed after my well received mix-tape series. My turntable dexterity has also been solicited by corporate client's such as Red Bull, Scion, MTV, thetruth.com, Ann Taylor, Van's skate-park, Grand Bohemian Hotel, H&M and Scratch Events.
Currently I'm residing in Miami FL. From day one I've been dedicated to raising the bar for party rocking and still look to prove myself as one of the hardest working djs in the game.

Hailing from Brooklyn, NY and currently residing in South Beach, Miami, Adrianna "Gooddroid" Moschides is no stranger to the behemoth that is Bass music. DJ'ing for over 12 years, her name has become synonymous with all things Bass, as she shared the decks with some of the best in the business; Scuba, Ben UFO, Joy O, Mary Anne Hobbs, and Boddika just to name a few.
Gooddroid's sound is far from simple, and almost instantly recognizable. Her mixes exemplify great range, often incorporating complexity, while always maintaining the groove. From incredible track selection to impeccable mixing, she never ceases to impress crowds worldwide.
Staying true to her roots – the deeper side of bass – she has managed to convert even the biggest skeptics into fans. In a city that does not tend to gravitate towards "deeper"music, she managed to find a home for the Future Bass community in her bi-weekly party, 'Down', which brought some of the scene's biggest headliners to Miami for the first time.
It's only fitting she is now the president and C.E.O of Loveless Records, providing worldwide releases tailored to forward-thinking Bass music. Approaching thirty artists signed, Gooddroid has managed to gather some of the most talented up and coming artists, all under one roof. Loveless has been featured on XLR8R, DJ Mag, Mixmag and Earmilk, among others, and continues to build momentum. Gooddroid is also the host of "Bright Future", a weekly radio show on Miami radio station Klangbox. FM. Every week showcases the best and the brightest in all things UK Bass, featuring guest DJ sets from top international artists.
More recently Gooddroid has started a monthly Vogue night with her partner Bonnie Beats featuring the legendary MikeQ, giving the ballroom community a place to shine and win cash for their talents while also introducing the mostly underground scene to the general public.
She holds several residencies in Miami, particularly at Bardot, a venue known for booking cutting edge artists, such as Cashmere Cat, Brenmar, Pearson Sound and the like. She is also a resident at The Vagabond and Mutant Beat Supper Club. She has toured nationally and internationally, playing in London and Tokyo. She will be touring again Summer 2014.

My Deer was originated by former Sirens & Sealions songwriter, Johanna Viscaino, and guitar player, Yannick Calleiro. Calleiro had collaborated with Viscaino in previous projects that lent themselves to a more indie/folk genre, but had always shared a passion toward indie pop, disco and ambient music. In late 2013 Viscaino decided to take on the challenge of writing songs that were more reminiscent to the sounds of Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Metric, Ladytron and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Once Calleiro got his hand on some of Johanna's melodies, the duo knew the tunes should develop into something bigger.
After recruiting the talents of drummer Alana Dym, bass player Chris Valente and Keyboard player Amanda Velazquez the band was complete. Now My Deer is ready to spread their sound throughout Miami and beyond.
Jeremy Ismael never stops moving, both figuratively, and physically, from his more adventurous chosen path through life, to the small space in between the decks. Puerto Rican born, and 100% Florida sunshine raised, Jeremy would never say that he doesn't need an introduction in the local Miami scene, and as a brutally honest, humble human being, he'll always introduce himself anyway.
His levitation of sorts, into the world of music began early, with the sounds from his father's jazz records. Those melodies and bass lines stayed with young Jeremy, and as a teen, directly influenced his gravitation towards the UK's acid jazz , a fresh new genre at the time. Upon graduating high school, he enlisted in the army, and was stationed in Wurzburg, Germany; a long time host of the US 1st infantry division since World War II. The next few years would see the official birth, and development of the head banging monster we all know and love today. At every opportunity Uncle Sam gave, Jeremy made the four and a half hour train ride, to soak up the no-nonsense dance music culture in Berlin (that's two essential mixes, and some change). Coincidentally enough, Jeremy's arrival in the city was aligned with the establishment of the now legendary Watergate Nightclub (est. 2002), a two room, split level venue, that regularly hosts the best talent in the world (sound familiar?). His most notable, and or memorable experience was the debut of the then up and coming German duo, known as M.A.N.D.Y, the rest is history.

He is currently in his second collaboration with The New World Symphony's Pulse Event where he and the symphony's musicians collaborate and compose an ethereal experience intertwined with electronic music.
He is one of Miami's most versatile DJs, found behind the controls at festivals and fashion shows as well as the underground and the velvet ropes. A-TRAIN fell in love with the DJ culture while living in Tokyo, Japan as a teenager. He began collecting records before his return to the US and by age 16 was DJing nightclubs all throughout Florida. He then moved to Miami and quickly became a hot commodity in the local club circuit. A-TRAIN can now be found at Miami's top night clubs, from South Beach to Wynwood & Downtown. When not in Miami, you can find him turning out dancefloors at the top clubs in the US, Caribbean, Europe and beyond.

America's glittering dance music capital, Miami is as revered for its nightlife as it is for producing some of the industry's brightest stars. If you've ever partied with the city's elite, you've probably heard of the name Maure. Born Mauricio Espinosa Tcherassi, the Columbia-native has been working the dance floors of clubs and lounges throughout the city. He currently holds a residency with the Opium Group at Mokai Lounge.
Known for a unique and elegant style that incorporates elements of soul, funk, and hip-hop-tinged deep house, Maure nods to house legends like Carl Cox and Pete Tong as having contributed to his development as an artist.
With only a few years of experience under his belt, Maure has already shared the stage with renowned artists such as Hernan Cattaneo, Robbie Rivera, Duke Dumont, Chus & Ceballos, Patrick M, Nick Warren, Gerard and more, proving a rare talent beyond his years.
Maure also spearheads Red Rabbit Presents' "Support Local DJs" campaign, which he created to serve as a platform for Miami's aspiring artists and performers.
"With so many producer / djs these days this has become an over-saturated market of artists always wanting to get on the spotlight. But what about the behind the scene guys? The djs that play for the people, the ones that are there from open to close. That's what this campaing is about, support yourultocals."
If his whirlwind ascent to success and his nonstop delivery of superb performances is any indication, Maure is definitely at the top of the list for artists to watch. No matter what room, crowd, or circumstances, the Miami favorite continuously proves that his creativity and musical versatility know no bounds. Keep your eyes and ears open for what promises to be a thrill ride of a career for this Miami favorite.
From his start as an accomplished b-boy to an internationally renowned music producer and genre-bending DJ, Frank Flux (born Franco Canepa) has met and exceeded expectations of his native Miami's music scene.

The upcoming Frank Flux EP reflects everything from his current surroundings as well as his native Argentina, world travels, and collaborations.

DJ Ideal, real name Angelo Dominguez, was born in Miami in the mid-eighties to two Cuban parents. Ideal got his feel for what songs get a party started by spinning at house parties at the age of 16. DJ Tony Tone became his mentor and introduced Ideal to Miami's club scene. His nights at Miami's Club 609 built a solid Miami fan base while mix tapes like The Best of G-Unit and his popular Da Bottom series introduced Ideal to the nation.

After a tour with Pitbull, he released countless number of official mix tapes for Hip-Hops big names — Ludacris, Lil Jon, Chamillionaire, and Joe Budden to name a few.
This massive exposure lead to a residency for Miami's notorious Opium Group which he has held down for the last 7 years sharing the bill with Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Jamie Foxx & the late DJ AM.This exposure has lead him to perform in private celebrations for Usher, LeBronn James and JayLZ.

Which is the hottest 60" racer now days?
I had a Baudis Banana back in 2005 and I liked it alot. Which are the options of today or tomorrow? Any 2013 designs beating the Banana?
|Dec 10, 2012, 03:55 PM
The Banana's where light and fragile . The Carbon bird is my air plane of choice ,then the Carbon Mini blade ,of course there is the D60 as well as a number of moulded planks available now like the wind burner or the new version of the Zipper with an improved foil . there is also the Sunbird 60 in a thread in this forum ,but I'd be a little worried about Quality issues in recent times

1.5M/60" isn't very popular so there aren't very many choices. Although the DSmodel Ocelot holds the current WR in the 1.5M/60" class, the Aeromod Prodij-HM is the hottest 1.5M/60" F3F airframe currently in production. There are several models not in production that are probably as fast as the Prodij-HM, but the Prodij-HM is certainly one of the fastest I've ever seen. The Mibo Mini Terminator and the Aer-o-Tec Insect seem like they could be pretty fast, but they are unproven and very expensive. They might not be so bad since you are already in Europe. The Sunbird is not really a racer, it's more of an all-rounder.
You can still get the Baudis Banana, it isn't the absolute best airframe, but it is fast and definitely still capable of winning. Pilot skill is very important in the 1.5M/60" class and in the rare races it is quite common to see older designs upset newer ones, so it's not worth fretting too much over airframe advantages.

D60 is certainly fast on the frontside, needs a good blow to get the best from it tho.
I currently own a Carbon Bird and a Sunbird in the 60" class, but have also had the Banana and Flying Fish (aka Genesis). I was disappointed in the Banana, as mentioned too light and flexable. F/Fish was ok but lack of flaps meant that only flying it was enjoyable, landing was a bit hit or miss using spoilerons, but I don't get on with them TBH.
The layup on my Sunbird is good, it's not a HK or Olec supplied version, mine came from Sloperacer. It's my 2nd SB and the quality is noticably better than the earlier version I had. Wing skins and boom are noticably stiffer.
Flying wise there's not a lot of difference between the Bird and the SB. Last time I flew both back to back I think the SB was slightly faster, but it is slightly heavier. But there's not a lot in it.
I think you do have to consider what exactly HK are getting from Olec, HK's versions are a lot cheaper than the 2nds that Olec offer. Not sure I'd take the gamble of a HK version myself. But provided RCRCM's QC doesn't go down the pan due to knocking out to HK, I'd certainly get another Sunbird. They fly really well and the big flaps are fantastic for crow. However if their QC does go bad, then I think either the Ocelot I or a Prodij HM is next for me.
The Prodij is getting good reports but is top $$$ for a 60", but still cheaper than a D60 (in the UK anyway).
|Dec 11, 2012, 11:20 AM
I currently am flying a Prodij HM. Sold my Carbon Bird after getting the Prodij up and running. Both may have equal top end speed, but the Prodij is so much faster through turns, and accelerates quicker that it would leave the Bird behind in an F3F style competition. Both seem equally tough..the Bird has better build quality, but the Prodij has that unique Aeromod design thing going for it. Bird is the easier build out, by far.
I'm not sure if they are still available, but the Scorpion was a great flying, fast turning ship also.
|Dec 11, 2012, 11:22 AM
Thanks guys! As I understand it not much developments is beeing made in the 60" class. The D60 must be 3-4years old and the Ocelot must be closer to 10years old?!
I see the Sunbird at 1/3 the price of a D60, but with bad quality it might not be a good choice. For the price of a D60 I could get a 100" plane which also folds into a 60" package
I do like the 60" planes as you can toy with them on smaller slopes too in a way a 100" plane can't follow, but the 100" plane would fly on less wind I'm sure.
as always, I wish there was a $4k budget
|Dec 11, 2012, 11:33 AM
You can't beat a mini dragon or Fredy for bang for your buck or hoon ability. It will also scape around in surprisingly light lift, but the heavier the better, load it up with ballast, fly it in 30 plus, and it's transformed to one of the fastest baddest ship out there.
|Dec 11, 2012, 11:46 AM
Forgot I owned a MD....
I prefered my Bird to the Mini Dragon too.
If you consider a Sunbird get from a reputable dealer like Susa, although I've never dealt with them it comes across that they won't get the 2nd's (or maybe 3rd's in HK's case )

I've used this several times. It's great- much better flavor than purchased stock.
This is the best vegetable stock recipe mostly because it is not overly sweet but does have an great vegetable flavor. Use the yellow onions, do not remove the skins a larger number of smaller ones will yield a much nicer color. I did increase the bay leaves to 2 but I use the Turkish not the California and I also cover and boil all day to get obtain every last bit of flavor from the vegetables.

Geneva '08 Preview: Pininfarina reveals Sintesi design
Click above for more images of the Pininfarina Sintesi
With one week to go until the Geneva Motor Show and counting, Pininfarina has finally done the "Full Monty" by revealing the overall design of its new Sintesi concept. And as you can see, it's a striking design.
We particularly like the window treatment, with a contemporary take on the classic window-within-window. Meanwhile, if the windshield were any more steeply raked, it would be completely horizontal. The opposing scissor doors swing up like on a Lamborghini, but hinged forward on the front doors and rearward on the rear ones. The mouth gapes wide open to gasp for air like a whale sucking down plankton, and the sills tuck under the body like on the Maserati GranTurismo, giving the Sintesi a rakishly athletic stance. And once again, Pininfarina has worked its magic on the flowing forms, with novel takes on the roof pillars, air vents and assuredly many more elements that will become apparent when we see the concept live, an experience we're looking forward to already.

Restoring email accounts doesnt work
Hi. I deleted a client and it deleted the associated domain along with all email accounts. I only inteded on removing only the client (not reseller) and had to restore everything from the Recycle Bin. Unfortunately, none of the email accounts would work after this and I was forced to delete them and remove them from the Recycle Bin and recreate them. I don't know if this is a bug or not but I figured it might be worth posting here. Keep up the great work!
we will check that.

ALA Conference Committee Committee
DRAFT Response to BARC Referral of Council resolution on MW programmingby Mary Ghikas (staff) on Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 02:29 pm
On behalf of Walter Betts, chair of the ALA Conference Committee, I am posting a DRAFT response to the ALA Budget Analysis and Review Committee (BARC).
For those who are new to this committee and/or were unable to participate at Annual:
-- At MW2014 Council received a resolution to eliminate from the policy on Midwinter Meetings the language that prohibits educational programming. That resolution was referred to BARC. Council asked for a BARC response by Annual 2014.
-- BARC reviewed the resolution, discussed financial impact with staff, and decided they couldn't make a real determination without more information (e.g., how much programming). BARC referred the resolution on to the ALA Conference Committee, which is charged -- by Council -- with recommending policy changes related to conferences. BARC asked CONF CTE to get back to them at Annual 2014, but BARC met before Conference Cte.
-- Conference Committee had an extensive discussion, in which the Councilor who crafted the resolution participated, and sent a message to BARC that they would get a response to them in advance of BARC's Fall meeting (which is October 6-7).
Based on the Conference Committee's discussion at Annual Conference -- and to facilitate further discussion -- a DRAFT response to BARC is attached. This is a "public" post -- since there is nothing inherent in this discussion at this point that would require a closed discussion.
I have also attached the background documents that the Conference Committee was working from at Annual, for your convenience and for new members of the committee.
Please continue the discussion in this space. We need to complete our discussion by September 18, so that we can get a final document ready to send BARC by September 26-29. Thank you.

Schedule of Future Sitesby Mary Ghikas (staff) on Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 05:51 pm
Here is the current schedule of future sites, for your information. We are showing you both ALA MW and AC and Division Conference sites. Let me know if you have questions.
For those new to the ALA Conference Committee, sites for MW and AC are approved by the ALA Executive Board. ALA Conference Services will bring proposed sites to the ALA Conference Committee, as well as the Exhibits Round Table board, for recommendation (or not) to the ALA Executive Board.
We are often asked why we select so far in advance. It has to do with the size and complexity of the site the ALA requires. We are (still) utilizing about 350 *concurrent* meeting rooms for AC. That means we require not only a large convention center but hotels with significant "conference" facilities (meeting rooms) at a reasonable distance from the convention center. We have historically had very minimal flexibility on dates -- looking at holidays, school schedules, other conferences in the library space, etc. All in all, it's a tricky package to put together -- and the closer we get to the year of a conference, the more likely that one or more critical piece of the package will no longer be available. So we, like other large conference sponsors, book far in advance and then let other, smaller, conferences, work around us, instead of vice versa.
One piece of explanation, since you are all coming from different places in ALA: The ACRL and PLA conferences are spring conferences; the AASL conferences are in the fall. So the ACRL conference in 2015 will come between ALA MW and ALA AC; the 2015 AASL conference will come between the 2015 ALA AC and the 2016 ALA MW.
Let me know if you have questions.

Conference Planningby Mary Ghikas (staff) on Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 12:19 pm
I have attached feedback from the 2012 and 2013 annual conferences. These were responses to open-ended (text) questions. We typically ask people (a) what they would tell a friend or colleague about ALA conferences, (b) what they think the 3 best things about ALA annual were, (c) what single session got their "best" designation, and (d) what recommendations they have. Staff spend some significant time going through this.
Over the coming months, this committee, along with the CPCT and staff, will be spending time developing frameworks for future annual conferences. I think taking a look at recent feedback is a good place to start.
I'll have more for you over the coming weeks.

Midwinter Programmingby Mary Ghikas (staff) on Tue, May 27, 2014 at 04:05 pm
At the 2014 ALA Midwinter Meeting, a resolution was proposed in ALA Council related to programming at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. That resolution was referred to the ALA Budget Analysis and Review Committee (BARC), assuming that there would be a financial impact to increased programming. When BARC reviewed the issue this spring, they referred it on to the ALA Conference Committee, which is charged with reviewing policies relating to ALA conferences, including the Midwinter Meeting.
Following consultation with Conference Committee Chair Jan Sanders, I am attaching a background briefing document and several supporting documents, including the Council resolution. This will be on the agenda at our meeting in Las Vegas, Saturday, 1-2:30, LVCC N225.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Kitchen Table Conversations -- about ALA Conferenceby Mary Ghikas (staff) on Tue, May 27, 2014 at 05:49 pm
I have posted the narrative summary statements from the 2014 Midwinter Meeting Kitchen Table Conversations in ALA Connect -- in the Kitchen Table Conversation group. It is an open group and the post is tagged "public." I have given you the specific address above. The lengthier consolidated notes from three days of discussion are attached to that post.
As you know, we have been holding this conversations over the past year -- at both the 2013 Annual and 2014 Midwinter, asking participants about their aspirations for and concerns about ALA as their professional community.
Based on the discussion at Annual (2013), we focused a significant portion of our discussion at Midwinter specifically on Annual Conference. I believe you will find much to consider and discuss in the narrative summary and the consolidated notes.

ALA Conference Committee Report: 2013-2014 - through Midwinter 2014 -- DRAFTby Mary Ghikas (staff) on Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 12:01 pm
The draft report is pasted in below. Please use the comment function for changes/additions. mg
COMMITTEE: ALA Conference Committee (standing)
TIME PERIOD: 2013-2014 – through Midwinter 2014
REPORT SUBMITTED BY: Jan Sanders, Chair
ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE: (including the 2014 Conference Program Coordinating Team)
This report covers activities in the ALA Conference Committee group on ALA Connect and at the 2014 ALA Midwinter Meeting:
- On review of documents from ALA Conference Services, recommended two future sites for approval by the ALA Executive Board at their Fall 2013 meeting: San Antonio (Midwinter, 2022) and New Orleans (Midwinter 2023 and Annual 2027).
- Reviewed the draft Statement on Conference Conduct, proposed for use beginning Midwinter 2014.
- Received and reviewed survey results from the 2012 and 2013 ALA Annual Conference.
- Received and reviewed ALA Annual Conference – Background for Discussion (2013-2014 EBD #12.8), for subsequent committee discussion.
- Reviewed the proposed skeleton schedule for the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting and 2015 ALA Annual Conference, for approval by the ALA Executive Board during the 2014 ALA Midwinter Meeting.
- Received updates from ALA staff on the 2014 Midwinter Meeting and 2014 ALA Annual Conference.
- Received an update from ALA staff on the (aborted) attempt to implement an integrated proposal-to-final-program system to eliminate costly and error-prone repetitive data entry at different stages. Use of "off-the-shelf" software is proposed; the initial implementation crashed ALA's process complexity. Over the next six months, that process complexity will be addressed and a new RFP developed, with plans for implementation in time to support the 2016 Annual Conference program, beginning with initial proposals for jury selection in 2015.
- Reviewed a list of potential Auditorium Series speakers and recommended preferred speakers to ALA Conference Services (2014 CPCT).
- Based on 2012 and 2013 survey results and other data, discussed future directions for ALA conferences. (ALA Conference Committee and 2014 CPCT)
- Based on data reviewed, there was consensus that focus, simplification and increased clarity were desirable.
- Considered limiting the number of programs to be presented at AC; considered whether every subgroup must present a program (which may sometimes be their only reason for being).
- Considered holding some program slots for joint or collaborative programs, with 2 or more groups involved in planning and presentation.
- Based on data reviewed, there was consensus that focus, simplification and increased clarity were desirable.
- Based on feedback, there must be attention to session times, session formats, session quality, alignment and timeliness.
- A key objective should be an integrated conference experience.
- ALA's distinctive position is the "big tent," crossing type-of-library, type-of-activity and special interest boundaries. There was extensive discussion on issues relating to both unified identify ("big ALA") and individual group identity (division, round table, other group).
- Specifically address the time-contention issue. One possibility would be to considered repeating high-demand sessions. (2014 CPCT)
- Encourage collaboration in programming. (2014 CPCT)
- Consider making video clips available in advance to encourage attendance and session participation. (2014 CPCT)
- Require subject headings and tags. (2014 CPCT)
- Build a "tag cloud" for each conference, as a way to illustrate focus. (2014 CPCT)
Next Meetings:
- Work will continue in ALA Connect (both ALA Conference Committee and the 2014 Conference Program Coordinating Team).
- The next scheduled face-to-face meetings will be at the 2014 ALA Annual Conference:
- ALA Conference Committee: Saturday, June 28, 1:00-2:30pm
- 2014 Conference Program Coordinating Team with 2015 Conference Program Coordinating Team: Saturday, June 29, 10:30-11:30pm
Face-to-face meeting participants:
ALA Conference Committee: Jan Sanders (chair), Walter Betts (Chapter Councilor), Sara Kelly Johns (Executive Board), Kawanna Bright (Round Table Coordinating Assembly), Therese Bigelow (At-Large), Mary Ghikas (staff), Marissa Kossakowski (staff), Jenny Levine (staff).
Barry Trott (CPCT, RUSA), Jeffrey Bowen (CPCT, LLAMA), Mary Hastler (CPCT, PLA and YALSA), Julie Kane (CPCT, ALCTS), Jason Kucsma (CPCT, ASCLA), Delora Shapiro (CPCT, LITA), Charles Kratz (CPCT, Round Tables), Jan Sanders (ALA Conference Committee), Mary Ghikas (staff), Marissa Kossakowski (staff).

The hotel staff were very accommodating with any requests and helped out when we needed urgent assistance with travel to Beauvais airport. They got us out of a real pickle at 11.30 at night!! Fantastic location to Parmentier Metro stop!!Review by: Darryl Eaves
