The Standard

WMC stands for Winter Music Conference, which takes place in the spring … but that’s not the point. The point is that the entire barrier island of Miami Beach will literally be vibrating for the next four days. The Standard and Kanon Organic Vodka are keeping things a little more chill – but fun – bayside on Belle Isle. We’ve got Kisuné, an Ed Banger Tribute to DJ Mehdi, Mia Moretti, The Jillionaire and Marques Wyatt. Invites and RSVP’s are below, but before the turn tables get a-spinning, we thought it would be fun to grill the DJs with a special WMC Standard Questionnaire. Read below to find out what music they’re sick of, the best decade for music ever and a few intimate hotel-staying habits.
