Both XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio will be broadcasting live from the 2007 Winter Music Conference in Miami's South Beach. Sirius' coverage begins today (March 20th) at 9pm ET on Area 33 (ch 33), and XM's coverage kicks off on Thursday on The Move (ch 80) at 3pm ET.
The Winter Music Conference, in its 22nd year, is the dance music industry’s biggest global forum, attracting professionals from more than 60 different countries.
Sirius listeners will hear live DJ sets from Sirius' own Paul van Dyk and Paul Oakenfold - as well as other electronica gurus like Bob Sinclar, and Robbie Rivera among others - plus exclusive "behind the turntable" interviews with a slew of superstars. The coverage on Area 33 (ch 33) kicks off tonight at 9pm ET at the sultry South Beach spot Mokai with DJ Behrouz.
Three XM dance channels - The Move (ch 80), BPM (ch 81) and The System (ch 82) - will be dedicated to the event, with three days of electronic music performances by the likes of Ferry Corsten, Carl Cox, Kaskade, and more, during live broadcasts from the Remix Hotel, The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club, and Ultrafest.
