Ultra cofounder Russell Faibisch talks expansion plans and making peace with WMC

What acts are you most excited to check out this year?

There are many on my list: the Chemical Brothers, Röyksopp, Underworld, Empire of the Sun, Pendulum, Fedde le Grand, CSS, Boys Noize, Crystal Castles, Afrobeta. But mostly I'm excited to see what's going to happen in the new Carl Cox & Friends Arena, a two-story megastructure being custom-built for Ultra. Carl, Moby, Laurent Garnier, and Loco Dice are going to tear it apart!

Believe it — 2011 will be even sweatier.

Is there a possibility we could see WMC and Ultra back on the same week in 2012?

Always a possibility. It would be really great if we can make it happen together next year.

Ultra does a lot of smaller events around the world. Any chance we could see some one-off Ultra events in Miami in the near future?

We are in talks about producing some very exciting upcoming projects that could happen in Miami. Internationally, in addition to UMF Brazil and UMF Ibiza, we are getting ready to announce two new UMF countries and continents!
