Finally the moment all of you South Beach club rats have been waiting for: The Opium Group has released its official 2010 WMC lineup. With its vast real estate of glitzy big-room venues, including clubs Mansion, Louis, SET, and Cameo, the Beach's ubiquitous nightlife conglomerate is responsible for booking most of the commercial big names we see at Conference each year, e.g. Bob Sinclar and David Guetta. But in recent years they've started catering to (slightly more) indie tastes as well, which is why the likes of Erol Alkan and Boys Noize can also be found on the 2010 lineup.

Now, what are the highlights, when push comes to shove? For the deeper more forward-thinking end of techno and tech-house, check out Saved Records WMC featuring Nic Fanciulli, Joris Voorn, Matthias Tanzmann, and Luna City Express at SET on Tuesday, March 23.

For a taste of French-touched electro and fidget house, there's a party at Cameo on Wednesday, March 24 showcasing Ed Banger Records' Busy P, DJ Mehdi, Annie Mac, Surkin, Brodinski, and Feadz, among others.

Sasha and John Digweed, the classic prog-house duo, are pairing up for a performance at Mansion on Thursday, March 25, if you're willing to shell out the $50 cover charge for a single act.

Last but not least, Pryda will be throwing down at SET on Sunday, March 28 with Eric Prydz and special guest Sébastien Léger, who alone is worth checking out for his funked-up progressive tech-house grooves.
