Excuse the hyperbole (finally, I get to use that word in a sentence), but in addition to the 8 katrillion videos we have from Remix Hotel (http://www.remixmag.com/video/rh_miami/2008), Red Bull on the Move just launched yet more Miami memories. Check it all out here: http://www.redbullonthemove.com

Red Bull had its own cabana to the left of the Remix Hotel media lab and the Grammy/NARAS VIP room. That meant between interviews, yours truly got drink free Red Bull in one room and tequila in the other. It was pretty decent consolation for the fact that I was chained to a chair in front of a video camera most of the time. But really, I’m not complaining. I get paid to do this.

In addition to capturing video action from the Om Records party, King Street Anniversary party, Canada Loves Miami party (really?) and Co-Op party, Red Bull on the Move also got some one-on-one interviews at Remix Hotel that we somehow missed, including Saeed Younan, George Morel, Kevin Kevin, Todd Terry, Roland Clark, S.O.S., Nic Fanciulli, deadmau5 and Carl Cox. Damn, where was I? Oh yeah, next door interviewing all the other peeps. Keep checking their site as they roll out the video, audio and photos. Up now are interviews with Fred Everything and Johnny Fiasco.

Another beautiful day in Miami, and the Remix Hotel attendees are slowly stirring and beginning their recovery from day 2.

Friday brought out A-Trak to the Apple theater, Hi-Tek to the Stanton cabana, DJ Enferno doing live remixing with Scratch Live and Ableton Live in the Rane & Serato cabana, Richard Devine at Access Music and demos from Akai, Numark, Euphonix, Korg, Native Instruments, Pioneer, Roland and more.

It was a hot one, and while the fire marshall came to shut down the line when Remix Hotel spilled over capacity, hundreds of people splashed around in the pool and danced for hours at the Beatport stage during DJ sets by M.A.N.D.Y., Tiefschwarz, Dubfire & Davide Squillace, Heidi, Anja Schneider, Gui Boratto and Jamie Jones.

After day 2 at the National wrapped up, many walked next door to the Delano to watch Remix March cover artist Erykah Badu sing songs from New Amerykah over a less-than-perfect sound system. Wearing her signature giant fro, Badu entertained with her eccentric charm and salt-and-honey voice and then finally jumped in the pool to cool off at the end of the night.

If you’re seeing this on Saturday, March 29 and preparing to come to Remix Hotel Day 3, better get in line early!
