One Night Only

Paul Morris started the booking agency AM Only in 1995 while he was a student at the University of Florida. It was a fortuitous time, when dance music was about to break big into this nation's consciousness. As electronic sounds shifted through the rave scene and beyond, AM Only grew and changed right along with it. These days, it's one of the top booking agencies in the world, and its annual Winter Music Conference party, One Night Only, remains one of the most anticipated. It's easy to see why: AM Only reps huge names in every genre and, for the one-off get-down, corrals them all into the same club. If you were to attend from beginning to end, you would hardly need to attend anything else at Conference. There's big-room aerobic house from Bad Boy Bill and Behrouz, drum 'n' bass from Shy FX, electro-house from the likes of Kill the Noise and Treasure Fingers, techno from Matt Tolfrey and Jamie Jones, and basically everything else from serious names such as Cajmere, Congorock, Japanese Popstars, Tommie Sunshine, Victor Calderone, and 50-plus others. If you score tickets in advance, the party costs less than a buck per superstar DJ.
