WMC 2011 – The House Movement staff recommendations – Frank Zacarias
So as well all know, WMC and Ultra are on different weeks. As I was browsing through the party listings, I noticed there weren’t a wide array of big named Djs from ALL genres. My guess is there’s gonna be a huge age difference btw both weeks, especially since Ultra isn’t this week (although I did see DJ Chuckie’s name listed several times this week, but not as much as I saw DJ Spinna’s name listed hahahaha). This week may be a throw-back “Old School” WMC. Overall, I hope I’m wrong and we see NEW and old faces this week.
Here are my recommendations for WMC 2011.
