As the early morning summer sun beat down on Buenos Aires, thousands of ecstatic but exhausted fans streamed out onto the streets of the city, to the many afterparties around the city. The squinting eyes were accompanied by broad smiles, as they knew that Argentina was now firmly on the map. NY record label legend Jim Welch sums up his experience at the conference and what it means for the scene. "I had an idea that it was going to be a pretty groundbreaking event, but it's really amazing to see things go way beyond peoples' expectations and see electronic music growing so quickly in this country and throughout South America - it's like the same thing that was going on in 1993 / 1994 in Europe, but in it's own new and modern way. It's incredible, and I really believe that as it develops it's going to give back to the rest of the global scene. This will happen every year from now on and it will get bigger and bigger I'm sure, inspiring artists from all over South America. If I can help with this, then that's an amazing thing. This is only going to get bigger."

Look out Miami!
