Louie Vega and Kevin Hedge Planted Their “Roots” brand Party on the beach for this year‘s Winter Music Conference in Miami. The vision of these true music pioneers is a simple one, Love. Love of their music, Love of their industry, and mostly Love of their fans.

The people were why this ground breaking event was produced. There was not a venue that suited this event so one was built right on the beach. Roots and 2mybeat.com were endorsed by BEHRINGER, and created the BEHRINGER “Just Listen” live sound stage consisting of 2 colossal speaker stacks on either side of the stage that made the entire beach pump. Now in the many years of BEHRINGER‘s history they have never participated at WMC… Talk about making an entrance. The who‘s who of the House music world attended. Which both Louie Vega and Kevin Hedge have grown accustomed to as industry leaders…they made them all “Just Listen”.

This talent filled beach concert featured fully live performances by Eric Roberson and Amp Fiddler that in short were absolutely amazing! Fusicology.com voted this event the highlight of the conference by honoring Roots and BEHRINGER with the title of best live performance and best party of the conference.

Eric had the 1000+ person crowd in the palm of his hand from the minute he hit the stage. At the peak of his show he worked the soulful house head crowd into frenzy when his house anthem “Don‘t Change” began with its signature keyboards. No other words other than… utter Magic. The entire tent singing word for word, a memory that all who attended will keep forever. By the time Detroit‘s own Amp Fiddler hit the stage it was a party. Amp and his amazing band took it to another level as he performed hit after hit to the adoring crowd. Amp hit them so hard that he dropped to the floor and started playing his tri level keyboard rig with his feet! The crowd went nuts!

A day and night full of great music, great people, and Miami in March. In closing, it‘s great that Louie Vega and Kevin Hedge keep finding ways each year to give back. With the enormous support they received from BEHRINGER they were able to give us this event for free. These House Moguls did not charge a cover at all during a week in Miami where door prices are in excess of 100 USD just to walk in and hear a DJ. The Roots family along with BEHRINGER gave our community much more, one of the most memorable experiences in WMC history. Thank You to everyone that made it happen.
