It is currently the week of the Winter Music Conference 2014 and we’re already midway into the festivities and events the city has to offer.

For those unfamiliar with the Winter Music Conference, although it’s hard to miss every year with all the foot traffic the city gains, WMC is the largest gathering of those involved in the electronic dance music scene, both artists and music lovers alike.

Currently on its 29th consecutive year, WMC shows no signs of slowing down and keeps getting bigger and better every year.

Having started on Friday, March 21 with pool parties and DJ showcases, the city still has a whole lot more to offer till Sunday, March 30.

You might have missed The Roots’ Questlove’s party at Bardot on Sunday, the Bromance showcase featuring Busy P, Brodinski and Gesaffelstein on Monday at Grand Central, but fear not on missing out on more of this year’s WMC.
