The outlook for this year's WMC just got a little bit brighter: South Beach's Shine club has announced its line-up.
Also known as Shelbourne Beach Resort, the 2,000 capacity spot has hosted countless WMC bashes over the past four years, and 2009 is no different. Timmy Regisford and Quentin Harris will kick things off with their Miami incarnation of Shelter on March 24th, whilst the next three days see two separate parties being held at the venue each day.
Wednesday afternoon will feature the likes of Dubfire, Steve Lawler, Gui Boratto and James Zabiela at the official opening party, and Josh Wink will take over the club later on that evening to launch his new When A Banana Was A Banana album.
Need to cool off after all that dancing? Well, the following afternoon Shine is hosting a pool party featuring a tag team set from Loco Dice and Luciano, and as if that wasn't enough, New York's Dennis Ferrer will be showing them how it's done stateside.
The next few evenings sees things take a more progressive bent, with performances from Hernan Cattaneo, Darren Emerson, Dave Seaman and Sasha, while the final day sees two dance floor heavyweights play extended sets. First up on Sunday afternoon is WMC institution Danny Tenaglia, who will play for a mammoth ten hours before handing over to trance star Sander Kleinenberg for the final WMC event at the club that evening.
