We’ve been writing a lot of blog posts about our trip down to Miami for the Winter Music Conference. It was an incredible, action-packed experience, so it’s taking us some time to give you the whole scoop
One of the highlights of the trip for me was actually having a sitdown with Andy Horsfield, the founder of Global Underground.
To paint the picture for you, it was Wednesday night, and Global Underground was throwing a killer party at Mynt Lounge. The headlining acts were Nic Fanciulli and Darren Emerson. From 10pm to 1am, this party was invite only and open bar – not a bad combination if you’re "invited" (which I was, fortunately).
I’m one of the first people into the club (along with a friend of mine named Willy). After getting in, I made my way to the bar for a drink…along the way I tell the club manager that I’m the CEO of Resonant Vibes, and I’d like to have a chat with Andy Horsfield so that I can write a blog post about it. Shortly afterward, Willy (my makeshift cameraman) and I make our way back to the VIP area to have a chat with Andy.
I was actually quite excited about chatting with Andy. In my humble opinion, Global Underground is the best electronic music CD series of all time – bar none! Furthermore, Global Underground provided my gateway into the realm of electronic music – it was Oakenfold’s New York CDs in particular that did it.
I didn’t try to get a verbatim record of my chat with Andy. I wanted to keep it more informal and to really enjoy the chat. I started off asking him about his early days. He told me that he was from Newcastle (like my man Sam) and that he was into electronic music in the 80s. As an entrepreneur myself, I wanted to hear about the genesis and growth of Global Underground.
