In Miami this year Bill Patrick was a busy man. Not only did the Playstation keep him in tune throughout the conference, but he... like many DJs played at a massive number of parties. One of the key nights was Wednesday - ROBOTS at BED - alongside Sven Vath. For him this was overshadowed only by the 112 Crew's terrace booking at Mr C's Superfreq night at The Pawn Shop, which happened to work perfectly as Danny Howells' Made in Bed afterparty. We caught up with Bill in Miami (of course, if only to have a laugh), and had these questions delivered to him post Miami to give the RA columnist another place to vent his bad self.

- Bill Patrick, WMC 2005

What was your best gig at this year's WMC?
Our set on the terrace at PawnShop for Mr. C's Superfreq night was by far my favorite. The whole party was jumping and the vibe was ridiculous. Every Dj was on point that day. Mr C, Francis Harris, Little Mike and Damian Lazarus all took it nasty in the mainroom. The 112 Crew had Terrace duties all day and I cant remember the last time I had that much fun DJing. Just perfect. This picture will prove how excited I was about the gig.

Which track do you remember going off the most?
I dropped the Demon remix of Mr. Oizo's "Last Night a DJ Killed My Dog" at around 10am on the Terrace and I remember that going off. I was dancing around like a ballerina when I played it and I could have sworn I saw angels descend from heaven when it came out of the break. It was just perfect. I love moments like that. Other tracks that went off for me this conference were Sean O'Neil's (aka Someone Else) new one on Found Sound called "Picture Perfect" and Marco Carola's Do.Mi.No. #1.
Also got (stole) a copy of the new Missing Link stuff that blew my mind. Missing Link is a wicked producer from Denver that has stuff out on Wagon Repair. Super tight, thick ass rumblers that just take over the dancefloor.

How much would you have been prepared to slip security to see yourself play?
Nothing. I needed as much money as possible to scrape the K-Hole.

Who had you laughing this year?
The afterhour sessions are always good for a piss up. There are always a few moments of uncontrollable laughter. I'll let you know about those as soon as I can remember them.

Name one other use for your hotel key besides getting in?
I stayed in a condo this year but if I had a hotel key I would probably lose it. Or give it to a girl in some cheesy attempt to get her back to my room (that has worked in the past).

What was the first thing you did once you checked into your hotel...
We hooked up the Playstation and I started whipping ass in Winning Eleven 8. How much of a loser are we to bring Playstation to the conference? For all those I failed to support this year, I apologize and blame Dennis Rodgers for bringing it.

Was the WMC for you all about... a. tan lines b. drink lines c. guestlist lines d. other?
This is a loaded question. I see where you're going with this and I'm not gonna bite. It would be too easy. So I will take the mature approach.
I was able to sport a nice tan towards the end of the conference. I changed my flight and stayed an extra week to get some food and sun. I look hot now. Hotter than before. Hard to believe I know.

What was the best comment said to you by a random clubber or fan?
I don't think I have any fans. Believe it or not, more people know me as the dude that does the column on RA than a Dj. I did have one girl ask me to feel her up. Which I gladly did.

Are there any rumours about yourself or others that you'd like to clear up?
All the rumors are true.

Sum up the 2005 WMC in 5 or less words.
