On the road again<br />

Useful equipment, gimmicks and knowledge<br />

for the modern Trance nomad<br />

Travelling is at least as characteristic<br />

for Psy Trance as fluorescent<br />

paintings and hypnotic<br />

electronic music. In fact there<br />

are few if any other scenes<br />

where people frequently travel<br />

thousands of miles just to meet<br />

their international fellows for<br />

The Classic<br />

For the classic Indian teepee or<br />

its North-European equivalent,<br />

the Sami kata, a simple coneshaped<br />

frame of wooden poles<br />

was covered with animal hides,<br />

with an opening at the top to let<br />

out smoke. Swedish manufacturer<br />

Tentipi combines the idea<br />

of these popular tents with upto-date<br />

technological standards.<br />

In this way, the luxuries of space<br />

and standing height are guaranteed<br />

and there is the unique possibility<br />

to have a stove or even<br />

an open fire in the middle of<br />

the tent. While ancient teepees<br />

required a lot of work to be set<br />

up and were very heavy, many<br />

of the new versions can be set up<br />

within few minutes and weight<br />

only few kilos while still providing<br />

space for many persons.<br />

an open air. Now, during summer,<br />

many Trance freaks live<br />

a real nomadic lifestyle, hopping<br />

from one festival acre to<br />

the next. And quite afew have<br />

already plans for a winter trip<br />

to Asia, for instance. “Life is a<br />

book and those who do not tra-<br />

The Easy One<br />

It was around 2005 when strange,<br />

saucer-shaped objects flew over<br />

more and more festivals. But<br />

they could only be watched for 2<br />

seconds- before they transformed<br />

into tents. Outdoor manufacturer<br />

Quechua is the brand that became<br />

famous for its pop-up tent system,<br />

providing tents that come in one<br />

piece and build up themselves in<br />

no time. Since then the technology<br />

has been developed further and<br />

2011 witnesses a new version of the<br />

popular instant-tent. The “2Seconds<br />

Easy” comes with a comfortable<br />

and safe 2-wall construction and is<br />

not only super easy to build-up but<br />

also super easy to be folded again.<br />

In fact, one only needs to pull a<br />

cord- that’s it! And... it’s even available<br />

in quite the psychedelic variety<br />

of colours…<br />

vel read only one page”, as the<br />

saying goes! But it’s not always<br />

easy reading… In this unusual<br />

lead article we want to share<br />

with you some ideas, inspirations<br />

and tips how to arrange<br />

your modern nomadic adventures<br />

as convenient as possible.<br />

The Lightweight<br />

If you are travelling only<br />

with your backpack, using<br />

public transport and want<br />

to keep the stuff you<br />

have to carry around as<br />

minimal as possible but<br />

without missing a warm<br />

and dry place to stay at,<br />

this might be your tent of<br />

choice:<br />

Weighing only a little<br />

more than two packages<br />

of milk, fitting into a backpack,<br />

set up within no<br />

time and always try and<br />

cosy thanks to a 2-wallconstruction.<br />

An excellent solution for<br />

the soloist or two who like<br />

each other, exploring territories<br />

where it may be raining<br />

or cold.

How to push-start a car<br />

Too much campsite rave?<br />

Car battery dead? No worries- getting<br />

your car push-started is really<br />

easy! At least if it runs on petrol.<br />

This method will work with a<br />

diesel as well, but you will have to<br />

try harder. Please never push-start<br />

an automatic car!<br />

The Futurist<br />

Mobile communication<br />

company Orange presents<br />

a design study for the tent<br />

of the future.<br />

Powered by flexible,<br />

fabric-like solar panels,<br />

this tent starts glowing<br />

in a distinctive way<br />

when triggered via mobile<br />

phone at night- a great<br />

help to identify your tent<br />

from a distance and a<br />

great way to make the<br />

other campers believe<br />

in another, secret dance<br />

floor…<br />

Unbelievably incorporated<br />

into this technologically<br />

advanced camping accessory,<br />

is a self set-up Wifi<br />

internet connection point,<br />

brilliant!<br />

1) Find some persons for pushing<br />

2) Get behind the wheel and turn the key to ignition mode<br />

3) Engage second gear but keep the clutch pushed down<br />

4) Start shouting: “Push, push, push!”<br />

5) Once the car gained some speed, slowly release the clutch<br />

6) There should be a strong jerk<br />

7) Push down the clutch again while carefully&slowly stepping<br />

on the gas at the same time<br />

8) If its not working immediately, return to 4)<br />

9) If its still not working, give the car a short rest and try again<br />

10) Keep motor running and keep switched off radio, air con etc.<br />

for an hour.<br />

The Guerrilla<br />

This rudimentary but efficient way<br />

of camping was already recommended<br />

by Che Guevara, one of<br />

the protagonists of the socialist<br />

guerrilla revolution on Cuba. All it<br />

needs is a hammock, a mosquito<br />

net, a small plastic tarp and some<br />

ropes. Put up the hammock between<br />

two trees and another rope<br />

one metre above it, which you<br />

can use for the net to keep away<br />

insects and a tarp to keep you dry<br />

from rain. Unfortunately, at most<br />

festivals in Europe there are few<br />

if any trees around in the camping<br />

area - be sure to check the<br />

location or ask friends who have<br />

already been there when possible<br />

before heading down there.<br />

The Discounter<br />

Don’t worry if your budget is limited!<br />

All the big European discounters,<br />

like Aldi or Lidl for instance,<br />

offer camping equipment at least<br />

once a summer season. Usually<br />

there will be tents for 20 Euro or<br />

even less and their quality is really<br />

acceptable.<br />

Gadgets<br />

MusucBag<br />

You really love the cosy<br />

warmth of your sleeping bag<br />

during the nights? Well, take<br />

it with you then! The Musuc-<br />

Bag transforms all the benefits<br />

of a sleeping bag into a sleeping<br />

suit. In this way you can<br />

easily go for another round<br />

and crash in a comfortable and<br />

well-tempered way wherever<br />

you want.<br />

SofaBox<br />

Out of the box chill out and<br />

lounging, that is the basic idea<br />

of the SofaBox. Put into a both<br />

solid and good looking flightcase,<br />

this piece of furniture<br />

offers an original possibility<br />

to hang around outdoors in a<br />

very decent way.<br />

Etón Scorpion<br />

Nominated for the smartest<br />

festival gear in the category<br />

electronics: The Etón Scorpion.<br />

This fascinating piece of<br />

technology provides you with<br />

light, electric energy, weather<br />

information, music and even<br />

a bottle opener. The Scorpion<br />

can be charged via its solar<br />

panel, its dynamo hand-crank<br />

or via DC adapter. The energy<br />

generated in these ways can<br />

be used for the integrated<br />

flashlight, the cell phone charger<br />

via USB or the radio receiver<br />

which is also specialized<br />

on weather information bands<br />

and finally you can even connect<br />

your iPod and use it as a<br />

speaker! The scorpion is splash<br />

proofed and a very robust<br />

fellow.<br />

know how<br />

How to chill drinks<br />

Hot festivals with the sun burning<br />

down are great. Cold<br />

drinks are great to. The combination<br />

of the two of them<br />

is perfect- but can become<br />

rare… still, there are some<br />

easy tricks!<br />

The pit method<br />

Ok, this is really well-known.<br />

Dig a hole, preferably even<br />

in the shade, and burry your<br />

drinks at sunrise. Yes, exactly<br />

at the moment of sunrise. No<br />

mystical reason, only this is<br />

the coldest moment of the day.<br />

<strong>Your</strong> underground drinks will<br />

keep their temperature longer.<br />

The trucker method<br />

Truck drivers wrap wet towels<br />

around their drinks and hang<br />

them on their rear mirrors in<br />

linen bags. The cooling effect<br />

is caused by the heat of vaporization,<br />

a physical phenomena<br />

you can take advantage<br />

of as well, if it is windy at<br />

your festival. Just warp a wet<br />

piece of cloth around the 40<br />

degree Jaegermeister bottle<br />

from your car and put it in the<br />

wind for half an hour. It won’t<br />

be a huge effect but still a noticeable<br />

one!

Travelling<br />

Couch Surfing<br />

I want to fly away...<br />

The idea of Couch Surfing is<br />

...but I don‘t have much money<br />

pretty simple: Participate in cre- to do so! These search engines<br />

ating a better world, one couch will help, even when looking<br />

at a time. You offer your couch for cheap accommodations<br />

or guest bed to travellers via<br />

and rental cars.<br />

a website. Or, when travelling www.swoodoo.com<br />

yourself, you have the possibi- www.kayak.com<br />

lity to look for a couch to crash www.skyscanner.com<br />

for one night or even more. www.cheaptickets.com<br />

There are no special obliga- www.opodo.de<br />

tions, you don’t have to offer a<br />

couch yourself to ask for one.<br />

In fact Couch Surfing is more<br />

than a cheap way to travel. It<br />

offers the possibility to make<br />

acquaintance with people world<br />

wide and to get an impression<br />

of their everyday life. Often<br />

even friendships evolve from<br />

this way of travelling. Still caution<br />

is advised: Be aware that<br />

there might be thefts around.<br />

Also, it’s a good idea to have<br />

a short phone call with the<br />

host / the guest to get a personal<br />

impression. The gut feeling<br />

will tell you if this constellation<br />

might work out or not.<br />

Taxi!<br />

Calling 22 456 from a mobile<br />

in Germany will connect you<br />

with the nearest taxi central-<br />

no matter where you are! It<br />

costs 0,69 Euro per minute but<br />

might be really worth it in certain<br />

situations.<br />

Aus deutschen Mobilfunknetzen<br />

erreicht man unter der 22<br />

456 die nächstgelegene Taxizentrale<br />

- egal wo man gerade<br />

ist! Das kostet zwar 0,69 Euro<br />

die Minute, ist aber ziemlich<br />

praktisch.<br />

Psytrance News<br />

served by Regan (Nano Records)<br />

Adam<br />

Thai based producer and part of the<br />

famed Half Moon parties Tripical, has just<br />

dropped a wonderful EP on All Records.<br />

The „Retreat“ Ep features two great<br />

tracks both groovy as a Koh Phangan<br />

sunset and spicy as a good Tom Yum. Tripical<br />

has found a nice balance between<br />

Psy with a Prog feel. Quality production<br />

with a sound to listen out for.<br />

Vagalume Records really is headed by<br />

of some of my favorite people on the<br />

planet and they do Brazil proud with their<br />

great vibes.<br />

Swarup‘s Brain (one of the head honchos<br />

at the amazing Universo Parallello<br />

and one of Brazil’s original Psy DJ‘s) has<br />

just dropped a 5 track EP ON Vagalume<br />

which includes three originals, a remix<br />

from Brazilian master groover Burn in<br />

Noise and a collaboration with stompy<br />

electro-edged Logica (Swarups own sons)<br />

makes for a very strong release, that<br />

should be in your bag or hard-drive.<br />

Spun Records jumps back on the block<br />

with a compilation from Brian Sentient.<br />

Featuring a few of the classic Spun<br />

acts and a good helping of some of the<br />

hottest acts of the moment. GMS vs<br />

Absolum, Sonic Species, Chromatone,<br />

Tristan, Earthling vs Mad Max, Broken<br />

Toy, Headroom, Poli vs Brian Sentient,<br />

and a GMS remix of GMS vs Astrix<br />

all weigh in with some big blasting tunes,<br />

are sure to rock us crazy for the weeks to<br />

come! Nice to see Spun doing the business<br />

once more, and we can expect much<br />

more blasting creations from them in the<br />

future once again.<br />

Hommega have started pushing hard on<br />

the digital frontier with monthly podcasts<br />

coming from Astrix, and EPs lining up.<br />

Domestic and Sub 6 both have EPs out.<br />

Domestic showing once again why he is<br />

so respected amongst the producer fraternity<br />

& loved by the dancefloor, while<br />

Sub 6 show off some mammoth glistening<br />

tunes, that definitely have an air of<br />

showmanship to them. Sub 6‘s ‚Aint No<br />

Disco‘ Ep features collabs with GMS, Animalis<br />

and a remix together with Freedom<br />

Fighter of Italian prog star Liquid Soul.<br />

‚The Earthlings Ep‘ from Free Spirit<br />

Records features tracks from Solar Spectrum<br />

and Omsphere (and has nothing<br />

to do with ‚Earthling/Celli‘ the artist).<br />

Jay Om at Free Spirit has been pioneering<br />

his sound and that of his artists<br />

for a good while, and steadily their<br />

sound has been gaining more defined<br />

character & support. Good vibes always<br />

carry through and these guys, are bursting<br />

with them!<br />

...Have I mentioned Antu yet ? This label<br />

really is coming up with some interesting<br />

stuff, which has definitely been<br />

needed with so much copy-cat production<br />

& lame miss-fired attempts at hitmaking<br />

coming from many corners of<br />

Psy. They have a new Ep out ‚Love is<br />

All‘, which I have not checked out yet, so<br />

maybe let me know your thoughts about<br />

it, (or anything else for that matter).<br />

Keep it up Antu!<br />

Having gained recognition & a major fan<br />

base by playing at some of South Africa‘s<br />

best and most loved trance parties in<br />

the past few years, Static Flow has just<br />

released his first EP on Nano Records<br />

‚Subconscious Safari‘. It has been amazing<br />

to see it sky rocket to the top of the<br />

digi-charts, no mean feat for such a new<br />

name to the roster. Looking forward to<br />

some wonderful beats from this guy, as<br />

he strengthens his already excellent production<br />

and songwriting skills.<br />

Please email me links to new releases,<br />

press releases and general Psy Trance<br />

news to report about, and doesn‘t need<br />

to be just released based either. See you<br />

in UK and Europe this summer ;)<br />

Progressive News<br />

served by Bakke (Echoes Records)<br />

Ace Ventura & Rocky<br />

Israeli surfer wonder-boy Rocky is finally<br />

ready with his second album. The album<br />

is called ”Keyboard Wipeout” and is<br />

filled with 9 brand new tracks including<br />

a collaboration with Ace Ventura,<br />

and one with rising stars Sphera. He has<br />

also made a pumping remix of the classic<br />

track ”Other Side” by Son Kite.<br />

Tomasz Balicki or Atmos as we know<br />

him, has some new bombs coming out<br />

before the summer. ”Only 4 you” is<br />

for Iboga and finally the track<br />

”Breather” from his more groovy alter<br />

ego Dominic Thomas will be out on<br />

Echoes Records.<br />

Continuing on the Swedish wave here<br />

I would like to mention that act Solid<br />

Snake just released their second full<br />

length album Factories & Green Fields<br />

on Tribal Vision records. The act consists<br />

of Omar Chelly and Anders Rosengren<br />

from Malmoe, Sweden. If you recognize<br />

Omars name you may know he<br />

was until recently one half of the legendary<br />

Swedish project Tegma, one of the<br />

leading acts on the Scandinavian progressive<br />

trance scene.<br />

All you guys that has been in the progressive<br />

scene for quite some years (or<br />

I feel very old) might not have forgotten<br />

the classic track Schaukelstuhl by<br />

Shiva Chandra. The track has now been<br />

remixed in to 3 brand new remixes. One<br />

bt Shiva Chandra himself, the second by<br />

Shiva Chandra & Dj Magical the last<br />

one by groovy techno duo Fusi & Johnson.<br />

The whole package will be released<br />

on Spintwist records.<br />

I have mentioned it briefly in an earlier<br />

issue of <strong>Mushroom</strong>, but now its finally<br />

here. The swashbuckling, grogdrinking<br />

scurvey pirates Ace Ventura and Captain<br />

Hook is now out with the release<br />

“The Jolly Roger”<br />

on Plusquam<br />

Records. It comes<br />

NOK, Rocky and<br />

Zen Mechanics and<br />

is available in digital<br />

booklet. Yaaargh me hearties!<br />

The label that gave us albums from Bigwigs<br />

and Kino Oko; Horns & Hoofs are<br />

presenting two brand new EPs. First up<br />

is Max Pollyul with Mosquito EP followed<br />

by a new release from veterans<br />

Fuzzion called ZZ Pop EP Horns &<br />

Hoofs is run by Alex „Boshke“ Tolstey<br />

and Alic. Most of the artwork for the<br />

releases is made by Inga Burina, who<br />

really makes minblowing work.<br />

Danish artist Phaxe just came out with<br />

a groovy EP on northern german label<br />

Blue Tunes which includes a remix hed id<br />

of Swedish upcoming artist Vice. Besides<br />

this he has at least 2 upcoming releases<br />

on Iboga which includes the track ”Merlin”<br />

(co-written together with Behind Blue<br />

Eyes) which is featured on a brand new<br />

compilation by Emok and a new EP called<br />

”Train Boogie”.<br />

And last but not least,<br />

a bit of selfpromotion.<br />

Since last year I have<br />

been working on a brand<br />

new compilation for my<br />

new homelabel Echoes<br />

Records. It contains<br />

9 brand new tracks from<br />

some of the most talented<br />

Dark News<br />

served by Ilse (Parvati Records)<br />

Pearls & Pixies Trilogy<br />

Parvati Records fulfills the strict release<br />

schedule kept for years with the third<br />

part of the Pearls & Pixies series, making<br />

it to a Trilogy – completed in corporation<br />

with Japanese label Phreex Network.<br />

Giuseppe and Ken were responsible<br />

for the five tracks of each label rooster<br />

that will spangle the line up on the<br />

upcoming compilation, with names on it<br />

not released before on both. Claw from<br />

Cyprus as well as Xabbu from Germany<br />

can be found on it. They were no newcomers,<br />

however never yet had found<br />

place on Parvati or Phreex before. Nolm<br />

or Quip Tone Beatz, two participations<br />

from the Phreex Network rooster also<br />

placed tracks for the first time in the list.<br />

Release date will be the Cosmo Festival<br />

in UK, where it can be purchased for the<br />

first time worldwide before you can order<br />

on the labels webpages.<br />

Forest and Pain Tales<br />

Chronicle of Mystery Records is proud to<br />

present the second compilation inspired<br />

by the freaks of the forest psychedelic history.<br />

Labelheads Hana Cheljo (Nirmanakayas)<br />

and Darko Petreski (Schoiroideairis)<br />

from Macedonia, whose goals<br />

are to present the insane creative minds,<br />

that are not highly accepted by the global<br />

audience, but who are recognizable with<br />

their deep psychedelic forest sound –<br />

that’s what it is about, the music! The first<br />

compilation “The Pain of the Forgotten<br />

Forest”, from last year was divining<br />

what to expect and so is the recent output<br />

called “The Oldest Story”, promising<br />

a very well put together ride. Very wellknown<br />

artists like Battle of the Future<br />

Buddhas, Ka-sol, Bloomen, Makadam<br />

or the Trashlords are long time play-<br />

ing in the circuit and placed inbetween<br />

a few newcomers, spinning this old tale<br />

together. Something to thrill!<br />

Drury Nevil’s comeback<br />

After a long break of making music for<br />

personal reasons, the world of psychedelic<br />

music luckily has him back. Denis,<br />

born close to the ancient Greek Temple<br />

of Apollo, the god of music and beauty,<br />

(his inspiration drawn from the artist<br />

known as Drury Nevil for the darker<br />

part, as well as Safi Dafi for lighter stuff),<br />

found his way back to create more psychedelic<br />

treasures. He will be releasing<br />

tracks with both projects again as well<br />

as appearing on the one or another festivals.<br />

This is proper news and welcome<br />

back old friend!<br />

New Label from Pune – India<br />

Vantara Vichitra is founded by Cacofonix<br />

and Alien Trancesistor from Pune<br />

Transposition“ is their debut compilation.<br />

Some of the leading artists for<br />

the real psychedelics to be found on it as<br />

Captain Kirk, Fuzulu, Kerlivin or Full<br />

Face and making this release worth getting<br />

your hands on. Not getting tired,<br />

these two guys have already the next<br />

installment scheduled for end of this<br />

year. Seems to be great new base for<br />

psychedelic underground music!<br />

Mind Expansion Rec. – Enichkin<br />

Album<br />

The fourth in succession album by<br />

Sergey Nazarenko also known<br />

as Enichkin, sound engineer from<br />

Russia, is called „Krakoziabry“.<br />

„Krakoziabry is often caused when<br />

layered intelligence forming energy<br />

is moved to a system with a different<br />

default encoding. Different<br />

encoding is a fundamental trick,<br />

which is used to confuse the fact<br />

that we are ONE.“ This album provides<br />

a very specific complex patterns of tribal<br />

elements and cutting edge sound design.<br />

Liquid Stranger<br />

Chill News<br />

served by Shahar (Aleph Zero Records)<br />

Bluetech just released a new surprise<br />

album named Rainforest Reverberation.<br />

100% of the proceeds from all music<br />

sales go to end deforestation, species loss,<br />

and cultural upheaval in the Amazon. The<br />

album will be released digitally only. By<br />

purchasing the album you are engaging in<br />

one of the most effective ways to combat<br />

global warming and support social justice<br />

for indigenous caretakers of these lands,<br />

as well as entering into a 70 minute continuous<br />

audio journey; Evan writes. Furthermore,<br />

your contribution marks the<br />

beginning of a journey, which will eventually<br />

result in a historic, multi-cultural collaboration,<br />

involving Bluetech and indigenous<br />

Amazonian musicians from a network<br />

of small villages in Ecuador. You can<br />

purchase the album here:<br />

http://criticalbeats.bandcamp.com<br />

visit www.amazonvoice.org to learn<br />

more about where the Rainforest Reverberation<br />

contributions are utilised.<br />

Another surprise release that pretty much<br />

went under the radar is the new Entheogenic<br />

album- Gaia Sophia. It was released<br />

last month via the band bandcamp page<br />

(http://entheogenic-usr.bandcamp.<br />

com). It contains 5 tracks including the<br />

opening 27.5 minutes long opener, “Love<br />

Letters to the Soul”. The duo has split<br />

ways and Entheogenic is just Piers Oak-<br />

Rhind these days. The music on this one<br />

seems to be more on part with the direction<br />

they took in their first two albums.<br />

A new album for Master Margherita<br />

released on Italian based label Blue<br />

Hour Sounds. With The Marginal Rules,<br />

Moreno continues his work starting with<br />

his last album on Peak Records, “Hippies<br />

with Gadgets”, creating evanescent atmospheres<br />

that carry us on a musical journey<br />

around the world. The album features<br />

a fluid collaboration with musicians from<br />

all over the world and Blue Hour Sounds<br />

promise that soul music is the source<br />

behind the ingenious mixture of the elements:<br />

percussion, guitars, birds, violins &<br />

the chords of the bass guitar.<br />

Liquid Stranger released a new album-<br />

The Arcane Terrain on May 31st in Interchill<br />

Records. Intercrhill promise that<br />

The Arcane Terrain obliterates the<br />

boundaries separating dubstep, grime,<br />

dub, breaks, hip hop and outernational<br />

crunkadelica. The album picks up the<br />

thread from Stranger’s recent releases<br />

on Interchill - The Intergalactic Slapstick<br />

and The Steel Trap EP – and continues<br />

down the meandering path<br />

of bass laden revelry. The album<br />

will be followed by a second Liquid<br />

Stranger release in September,<br />

“The Renegade Crusade”, that aims<br />

at DJ’s and lovers of bass music<br />

with stripped down mixes, instrumentals<br />

and significantly more<br />

dirt and grime than this one. Liquid<br />

Stranger embarks on the Renegade<br />

Crusade Tour this summer in<br />

support of the new albums.<br />

Altar Records continue to supply us with<br />

deep chilled music from Russia, with a<br />

debut album from TaFF- Moon Princess.<br />

TaFF is Sergey Bondarenko, who<br />

is known for accompanying Chronos live<br />

on stage with his skilled flute-work on a<br />

variety of different types of flute. Together<br />

Chronos, TaFF have released a mini-<br />

CD titled “When the Day Turns to Night”,<br />

which was released in the summer of 2010<br />

on Altar Records.<br />

Moon Princess is based on an ancient<br />

Chinese tale that has been crafted into a<br />

musical story with care and patience. This<br />

album has been three years in the making<br />

and Altar promise a a superb organic chillout<br />

album with a great character.<br />

System 7<br />

Providing the conscious link between<br />

the Techno and House explosion of<br />

the late 80s and it’s European psychedelic<br />

rock antecedents of the 70s,<br />

System 7 had a strong influence<br />

on the birth of psychedelic Electronic<br />

Dance Music and it’s evolution<br />

up till today. Being founded in<br />

1989, the project began as a collective<br />

of visionary musicians, also featuring<br />

The Orb’s Alex Paterson and<br />

Youth. Working consistently progressive,<br />

carefully trying and testing new<br />

influences and technologies, System<br />

7’s central producers -guitarist Steve<br />

Hillage and keyboardist Miquette<br />

Giraudy- have forged a unique and<br />

up-to-date identity on the Dance<br />

Music genre map, in a space where<br />

Techno, Progressive and Trance<br />

meet– with a healthy side-element<br />

of Ambient.<br />

Two main characteristics in the sound<br />

of System 7 are complex sound synthesis<br />

experiments and a highly specialized<br />

techno guitar. The work of the project<br />

has always been influenced by collaborations<br />

with other musicians, including<br />

Techno luminaries like Derrick May, Carl<br />

Craig, Laurent Garnier and Richie Hawtin,<br />

and more recently Progressive Trance figures<br />

like Liquid Soul. Considering the age<br />

of the project with the first album being<br />

released in 1991, it’s no big news that the<br />

number of their releases is quite extensive:<br />

System 7 have sold over 250.000<br />

albums and 60.000 singles in their career.<br />

Now they just released another, brand<br />

new album on their own label A-Wave:<br />

UP hit the streets on May 30th 2011.<br />

Inspired by time spent in Berlin, UP lowers<br />

the tempo a bit and tips the balance<br />

in a more Techno and Tech House direction.<br />

But this one is not just another Nu<br />

School production! We had the pleasure<br />

to pre-listen to this new work and it<br />

clearly bears the very trancey and deep<br />

character of System 7. In some way, it is<br />

even reminiscent of earlier System 7 classics<br />

like the 777 album, but with a banging<br />

up-to-date sound. UP features collaborations<br />

with Acid House pioneer A Guy<br />

Called Gerald, and System 7’s own remix<br />

of Josh Wink’s Dolphin Smack as well<br />

as collaborations with Japanese artists<br />

Yuji Katsui (electric violin) and Funky<br />

Gong Minoru.<br />

HOT RELEASE:<br />

System 7 – UP<br />

With their new album UP, the duo<br />

have delivered a consistently uptempo<br />

but never one-dimensional set<br />

of tracks, layered with the hypnotic<br />

sounds, fluid melodicism and Steve<br />

Hillage’s trademark dreamy guitars.<br />

Employing slightly slower funky<br />

techno grooves, and pulsating with an<br />

ultra modern production, UP showcases<br />

the uniquely psychedelic System<br />

7 sound and a welcome feeling of<br />

positivity.<br />

Alexander Dorkian has been<br />

around with his Project NOK<br />

for many years, playing live at<br />

countless parties and releasing<br />

numerous tracks. Among them<br />

quite some summer hits, like “In<br />

Heaven With You” and “Wave<br />

Out”. Now he finally presents his<br />

debut album, New Order. Like<br />

a distillation product of Alex’<br />

12-year studio experience, this<br />

work represents an innovative<br />

fusion of his different styles and<br />

musical skills.<br />

On the one hand, New Order<br />

includes deep, rolling productions<br />

and complex melody compositions.<br />

Tracks like Breaking Point or New<br />

World Order transform the power<br />

and rich atmosphere of Full On into<br />

sleek Progressive grooves. On the<br />

other hand, there are also crunchy<br />

and stomping productions, drawing<br />

upon the energy of inspiring rhythms<br />

and bouncy bass lines. In this versatile<br />

and Progressive manner, the<br />

album fits perfectly into the catalogue<br />

of Blue Tunes Records. “After<br />

working with many labels, I am really<br />

happy to work exclusively with these<br />

guys now”, the man from Hamburg<br />

says. “It’s very professional but at<br />

the same time relaxed and familiar”.<br />

In June a remix for Ace Ventura and<br />

Captain Hook will released. Beside<br />

other projects with Day.Din, Neelix,<br />

Klopfgeister, Rocky or Ultravoice,<br />

he is currently quite busy with Ritmo<br />

from Israel, which works out surprisingly<br />

well almost exclusively via internet.<br />

During the summer NOK can<br />

not only be heard at several festivals<br />

around Europe, but also frequently<br />

in beautiful Brazil.<br />

Imago Dei<br />

Painting always seems to immortalize a moment in time and space<br />

Travelling always meant a very<br />

important influence for Imago<br />

Dei- Travelling both to the outer<br />

and the inner world. The Oriental<br />

and African cultures had a<br />

strong impact on him and so did<br />

the philosophies of Carl Young<br />

and Joseph Campbell. But his<br />

strongest inspirations come from<br />

the Native American and Taoist<br />

traditional beliefs and practices.<br />

Imago Dei, whose name means<br />

“image of god”, discovered already<br />

at a very young age that painting<br />

is a unique way to illustrate<br />

connections and processes from the<br />

level of the higher self. Developing<br />

through many styles, he first<br />

focused on surrealism and abstract<br />

expressionism. In this phase of<br />

his work, the idea of cymatics, the<br />

visualisation of sounds and other<br />

vibrations, meant an important influence<br />

for him. Further travels and<br />

studies eventually lead him to the<br />

Taoist philosophy and its rich symbolism.<br />

Looking at spiritual symbols<br />

creates a resonance within psychic<br />

archetypes, which will raise the<br />

consciousness. In this respect, his<br />

Mahayana Buddhist influence can<br />

be seen on the cover picture: The DJ<br />

is Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva<br />

of infinite compassion.<br />

Imago Dei, today living in Grass<br />

Valley, California, received a<br />

Bachelor of Science in 1987, a<br />

Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts in<br />

1990, and completed the Advanced<br />

Studies Program from The Art<br />

Institute of Chicago in 1990 as one<br />

of the institute‘s top ten painters.<br />

Just recently his varied work could<br />

be seen at Health and Harmony Festival<br />

in Santa Rosa. Coming up next<br />

is an exhibition in San Francisco’s<br />

P-kok gallery.<br />

Reisen war immer ein sehr wichtiger<br />

Einfluss für Imago Dei- Reisen in<br />

die äußere und in die innere Welt.<br />

Die orientalische und afrikanische<br />

Kultur haben ihn geprägt, seine<br />

wichtigsten Inspirationen liefern ihm<br />

aber die Vorstellungen und Riten der<br />

amerikanischen Ureinwohner und<br />

des Taoismus.<br />

Malerei besitzt die Eigenschaft,<br />

Zusammenhänge und Vorgänge auf<br />

einer höheren Ebene des Seins zu<br />

symbolisieren, die sich nur schwer mit<br />

Worten wiedergeben lassen. Diese<br />

Tatsache hat Imago Dei, dessen Name<br />

„das Bild Gottes“ bedeutet, schon<br />

in früher Kindheit für sich entdeckt.<br />

In Kombination mit den spirituellen<br />

Symbolen des Buddhismus verstärkt<br />

sich dieser Effekt nochmals. Der DJ auf<br />

dem Titelblatt ist übrigens Avalokiteshvara,<br />

der Bodhisattva des unendlichen<br />

Mitgefühls.<br />

Psy Pix<br />

Simon Hafele from the West Austrian<br />

state of Tyrol is probably one<br />

of most up-and-coming decoration<br />

artists of our scene. The amazing<br />

organic work of the nowadays 26year<br />

old, can be frequently admired<br />

at events in Austria and Switzerland<br />

but also increasingly at festivals and<br />

parties all around Europe.<br />

Hi Simon! How did you get in touch<br />

with painting and how with black<br />

light art?<br />

I always loved painting, I think my first<br />

pictures were inspired by the Asterix<br />

and Obelix comics… When I was 15,<br />

I attended an art college specialized<br />

in carving and finished a training as a<br />

gilder and sign painter. After that I took<br />

up a job to gain some money for a trip<br />

to India and Nepal. It was actually this<br />

journey that brought me to black light<br />

painting. Travelling alone in winter<br />

2005 / 06 and visiting all that places<br />

in Asia meant a huge inspiration for<br />

me. It was also then when I decided<br />

to become self-employed. In 2010 this<br />

dream eventually became true, I am<br />

now an acknowledged artist in Austria<br />

and earn my money painting<br />

Please tell us a little about your<br />

technique!<br />

I use brushes and air brush for my<br />

work. Besides painting on canvas, I also<br />

designed numerous walls in shops,<br />

hotels etc. and also built some<br />

wood constructions. An interesting<br />

technical experience is the fact<br />

that at the moment my right<br />

hand is broken pretty badly. A<br />

ladder collapsed beyond my<br />

feet… So now I am temporarily<br />

working with my left hand and<br />

I have to say there are some really<br />

exciting results! I will publish<br />

them soon on my new homepage,<br />

which is currently being created.<br />

Blue plays an important role in lots<br />

of your paintings. Is there a special<br />

reason for that?<br />

I reckon sometimes I just wish not to<br />

have taken the red pill but the blue<br />

one… No, rather this colour is pretty<br />

important when it comes to the day /<br />

night appearance of my work. Plus for<br />

me, blue exudes freedom, clearness,<br />

harmony and satisfaction.<br />

What was the biggest compliment<br />

you received as an artist?<br />

The biggest compliment for me is when<br />

people feel good when being surrounded<br />

by my decoration, when they open their<br />

minds towards my pictures, when they<br />

take a good look at them. In such moments<br />

they do not only deal with my pictures<br />

but also with me, with my character.<br />

This can become an intense journey to<br />

the inner self, for me as an artist as well<br />

as for the people who look at my work.<br />

.<br />

Der heute 26-jährige Simon Hafele<br />

aus dem österreichischen Tirol<br />

ist zweifelsohne einer der derzeit<br />

talentiertesten Maler unserer Szene.<br />

der deutschen Sprache mächtig<br />

Fascination with Fire<br />

Spinning and Juggling<br />

From the moment man created<br />

fire, he has been completely<br />

fascinated with it. Maybe it’s<br />

because fire has a certain soul...<br />

it really has a life of its own.<br />

It is Alive.<br />

Across the psy trance & goa<br />

scene, I first started to notice<br />

some of the juggling community<br />

mostly as the sun came<br />

down. The bright coloured<br />

tools of their trade had turned<br />

into balls of litttle controlled<br />

& methodically spinning fire<br />

before my eyes. I am certain<br />

my heart skipped a beat. Juggling<br />

had never been something I<br />

had considered... but to see this<br />

manipulation of “alive” energy<br />

in such a focused & controlled<br />

way, was something i craved to<br />

understand.<br />

„If you play with fire, you are<br />

likely to get burnt“, as the<br />

old saying goes, the decision<br />

to learn poi unlit first was<br />

almost not a decision - it was<br />

something that really just found<br />

me. It was a little time before I<br />

felt the confidence for fire manipulation,<br />

but each time I feel<br />

this power rushing around me<br />

at my very control, it builds that<br />

confidence&desire that little<br />

bit more.<br />

This is the feeling that I see in<br />

the eyes of those performing<br />

these flows - a focus and understanding<br />

of energy and flow. In<br />

so many varying forms with so<br />

many new tricks and tools being<br />

created and invented every day,<br />

goa & psytrance people often<br />

take on these little forms of play<br />

with an amazingly open landscape<br />

of creativity.<br />

The raw energy of fire is certainly<br />

not something to be taken<br />

Dai Zaobab<br />

www.zaobab.com<br />

lightly. This is something for a<br />

conscious mind who wants to<br />

unlock further boundaries &<br />

doors, who will take the time<br />

needed to learn how to play<br />

safely. The focus and almost<br />

meditative-like states that one<br />

finds in these flows are astronomically<br />

intensified for me personally,<br />

when I relate them to the<br />

frequency of beats and sounds<br />

within music - in particular to<br />

psy trance. Sometimes peo-<br />

ple have commented my poi<br />

play seems as martial art (especially<br />

if I am really in the “zone”<br />

& have closed my eyes). I wondered<br />

if I applied the same skills<br />

of poi to something like nunchucks<br />

if this would be possible.<br />

I think with a few technique<br />

applications, that this is<br />

entirely possible! I have never<br />

considered martial arts before...<br />

but now, I certainly see how a<br />

transfer of skills I learned with<br />

poi might somehow work.<br />

There are never such intense<br />

feelings as the ones I have sharing<br />

this gift with the people in<br />

a music that we all really live<br />

for. In this way we celebrate life<br />

together. The life of the fire, the<br />

life of the people and the life of<br />

everything in around us.<br />

Each time I play, and each time<br />

I join with others playing and<br />

we learn from each other, my<br />

understanding becomes deeper<br />

and more intense. I can see<br />

how fire draws people<br />

towards one another.<br />

It is a common<br />

ground in whic<br />

we want to understand<br />

how to make<br />

such a powerful<br />

energy move<br />

at will in front<br />

of our eyes. It<br />

was difficult<br />

in the beginning for me to<br />

understand that such under-<br />

fire proof clothing by speevers<br />

www.speevers.com


standing of this ferocious<br />

energy actually required<br />

me to be more calm, more<br />

relaxed and therefore more<br />

focused. Almost an opposing<br />

feeling&mental state, to create<br />

the seeminly fierce action that<br />

I want.<br />

The people are drawn to fire as<br />

a bug is to light, but remember<br />

always to have respect. Fire has<br />

potential to cause you harm if<br />

you are not paying attention!<br />

I encourage anyone who<br />

wants to learn, to begin slow &<br />

take things at your own pace.<br />

Choose your favoured tool -<br />

from hoop, poi, staff or any<br />

other equipment that spikes<br />

your interest. Then practise<br />

unlit till you know these moves<br />

with ease&confidence.... like a<br />

second nature. Not long after I<br />

experienced this second nature<br />

feeling myself, I heard someone<br />

remark after a quite intense<br />

fire ‘dance’ of poi, “You’ve been<br />

burned” &he smiled at me. This<br />

is the new meaning; when you<br />

become addicted to the fascination<br />

of the manipulation of pure<br />

energy!<br />

Fire spinning – Play it safe!<br />

(Safety tips from fire artists)<br />

“Give a man a match... he is warm for<br />

a minute. Set him on fire... he is warm<br />

for the rest of his life!” …. some of the<br />

funny quotes that come out really get you<br />

thinking....<br />

All jokes aside... So you’ve just bought your<br />

new fire-juggling equipment. Congratulations<br />

& welcome to the warm community<br />

of fire artists. Be careful not to become the<br />

next burning man! Here are some helpful<br />

tips to ensure you can safely play with fire,<br />

and find your way among the flames!<br />

Equipment Selection<br />

Good quality, reliable product is rule<br />

number 1, and always check it before use. If<br />

a fire ball breaks out of the chain and shoots<br />

into the audience, you‘ll have a rough time<br />

explaining that it is just part of the show.<br />

Almost all the fire heads existing today are<br />

made of Kevlar fabric. Some companies use<br />

other advanced materials. Stay away from<br />

fire heads that are made from cotton and<br />

especially fiberglass heads. These are commonly<br />

sold in Thailand or India and are usually<br />

white in colour.<br />

To avoid injuries and burns choose fire<br />

heads that don‘t have exposed metal<br />

parts and that don‘t have direct contact<br />

with the fire.<br />

Where can I play?<br />

Do not try this at home! Ok that‘s obvious –<br />

fire playing is for outdoors only and sometimes<br />

in big halls, however it‘s not just any<br />

outdoors environment or big place. Make<br />

sure that your environment is clean, free<br />

from obstacles and dry grasses etc. Keep<br />

a decent distance from your fans for their<br />

own safety. A windy evening is definitely<br />

not a good time for fire spinning. Get back<br />

to your tent!<br />

What liquid should I use?<br />

There are many kinds of fuels out there and<br />

they‘re all made to burn. However, fire liq-<br />

uid is not something you want to compromise<br />

with. The standard fuel for fire juggling<br />

is Paraffin, also known as Kerosene or lamp<br />

oil. This oil burns at a relatively low temperature<br />

and barely produces smoke. This fuel<br />

may cost a little more but in addition to your<br />

immediate safety, it will keep you healthier<br />

and make your Kevlar wicks live longer.<br />

Practice, Practice and Practice<br />

Earn the right to light. Get to know your<br />

fire tool. Get skilled with it. Don‘t surprise<br />

yourself with new tricks when the fire is set.<br />

Talking about surprises – remember that a<br />

soaked fire behaves differently to a dry fire.<br />

So here‘s a practical way to practice with<br />

real weight. Dip and stir your fire heads.<br />

Cover them with nylon bags and use good<br />

ribbon covers on top. These ribbon covers<br />

are always important to keep the fire heads<br />

from getting scratched or torn.<br />

Shake it baby<br />

Well, boys you all know how embarrassing it<br />

can be if you‘re in such a rush to the morning<br />

train that you didn‘t have time to shake it<br />

well … When it comes to fire it could be a<br />

little worse than embarrassing. Use a bowl,<br />

bucket or any other liquid container to dip<br />

your fire heads. Once dipping is complete<br />

always stir your fire tool well to get rid of<br />

any extra liquid.<br />

Here‘s an important green and money saving<br />

tip: cut a plastic bottle. Tie a loop of<br />

string to its open side. Put one of the fire<br />

heads inside the bottle. Hold your fire tool<br />

together with string and stir rapidly for at<br />

least 10 seconds. Repeat this action with the<br />

other fire heads. You‘ll be surprised to find<br />

that around 10 % of the liquid is gathered in<br />

the cut bottle and returns back to your dipping<br />

container.<br />

<strong>Your</strong> hair and whatever is underneath<br />

Even if you‘re not a scarecrow, your hair can<br />

catch fire just like dry straw in the summer.<br />

It only takes one wrong move. Fireproof<br />

Hair protection does not cost too much and<br />

will keep the most flammable part of your<br />

body safe. The rest of our body doesn‘t<br />

tend to catch fire easily, except for one little<br />

problem: our clothes. Polyester clothes are<br />

the worst to wear as they stick to the body<br />

when they burn.<br />

Don‘t play on your own<br />

If something goes wrong, your lucky fairy<br />

won‘t be able to help you. Make sure to<br />

have a real live person with you. This person<br />

will help you in case a poi wraps around<br />

you, extinguish you if you set on fire and<br />

call for help if needed. Make sure he is well<br />

equipped and knows how to assist you if<br />

something goes wrong. There are a few ways<br />

of extinguishing fires but one of the most simple<br />

and effective is a wet towel. Always have<br />

one around when playing with fire.<br />

So we scared you a bit perhaps? The truth is<br />

quite the opposite!<br />

Playing safe will not only keep you in one<br />

piece but when wearing the right clothes,<br />

using proper fire equipment and knowing<br />

how to play, you‘ll gain confidence and<br />

experience. Fire is beautiful. Don‘t be afraid<br />

of it. Control the fire and respect it.<br />

Unique Design for Unique People<br />

Cloths inspired by and made for<br />

a lifestyle that is characterized by<br />

extensive travelling and diverse cultural<br />

input: This is Luna Design.<br />

Danish globetrotter Dea Dysling<br />

met her Israeli soul mate Nir Ben<br />

Yacoov in Australia. Their mutual<br />

trip through Asia eventually<br />

lead the two of them to their<br />

mutual dream: A sweet,<br />

small, family-run cloth<br />

factory in the rice<br />

fields of Java,<br />

Indonesia, that<br />

provided<br />

the perfect opportunity to produce<br />

their very own vision of up-to-date<br />

fashion in a fair-trade way. Luna<br />

combines practical, hardy<br />

clothes with designs that<br />

celebrate the shape<br />

of the human<br />

body. Adding<br />

rich colours and flattering<br />

lines creates a one-of-akind<br />

impression. Cosy and convenient,<br />

only stylish but also durable. Snug in<br />

the winter, cool in the summer- Luna<br />

Naspex Spiritwear<br />

It began in India. When Austrian<br />

Franz spent his first winter season<br />

in Goa from 1990 to 1991, he was<br />

simply blown away by the amazing<br />

atmosphere and the indescribable<br />

vibe of this place. Inspired by these<br />

strong emotions he started painting<br />

T-Shirts, at first more or less as<br />

a hobby. Ten years of psychedelic<br />

influence later saw the birth of Natural<br />

Spirit Experience, a platform to<br />

produce special T-Shirts for beautiful<br />

futuristic people.<br />

The Naspex Spiritwear collection strives<br />

to spread a message of nature<br />

and humanity, to support philosophy<br />

and open-minded visions for love,<br />

freedom & consciousness. Available<br />

for men, women and kids, the<br />

T-Shirt and Longsleeve designs provide<br />

a large variety of rich, colourful<br />

psychedelic printings, abstract ones<br />

as well as traditional motives of spiritual<br />

and esoteric illustrations. Classical<br />

Goa style at its best!<br />

Ajna<br />

Inspired By Nature<br />

Ajna pursues the idea of Organic<br />

Clothing in the probably most consequent<br />

way: It is not only the deeply<br />

harmonic shapes and colours of<br />

Mother Nature that inspire the<br />

design of their clothes. Rather,<br />

also the entire production process<br />

is modelled on the perfectly<br />

balanced natural cycle<br />

that connects everything to<br />

everyone.<br />

Knowing the roots of their<br />

clothes from seed to dye,<br />

became the motto of Ajna,<br />

a motto that shall make sure<br />

whatever covers one’s skin, will<br />

not only look good to the eye, but<br />

also feel good at heart. All the natural<br />

colours, shapes and textures will<br />

do no harm to Earth or to humans,<br />

thanks to organic cotton that is exclusively<br />

grown and crafted without any<br />

toxic chemicals. Designer Tanja Vana<br />

grew up with deep fascination for<br />

nature and managed to transform the<br />

earthy smell and touch of the forest,<br />

the trees and the nature spirits into a<br />

marvellous, one-of-a-kind fashion line,<br />

even for the children.<br />

Shiva Nataraja<br />

a symbol of our scene<br />

All of us have seen Shiva Nataraja<br />

many times. Party decoration,<br />

flyers, quite any kind of artwork-<br />

the portrayal of this dancing<br />

Hindu goddess has a long and rich<br />

tradition in our scene that reaches<br />

back to its roots in India. But in fact<br />

rather few Psy Trance lovers know<br />

about the deep symbolic meaning<br />

of Shiva Nataraja. Of course he is<br />

no real creature, but a metaphor<br />

for life that is as perfect and elegant<br />

as it is easy to understand.<br />

The dancing Shiva is surrounded<br />

by a halo of fire, which represents<br />

nature in the broadest possible sense<br />

of this word, the world of mass and<br />

energy. By dancing his cosmic dance,<br />

Shiva creates both order and disorder<br />

among these basic elements. Imagine<br />

Shiva being the driving force in<br />

our universe, his body reaching billions<br />

of light years and filling the<br />

entire cosmos.<br />

In his upper right hand, Shiva holds<br />

his drum. Using this drum, he creates:<br />

Galaxies, planets, trees, single cells.<br />

In his upper left hand you can see<br />

his fire- which will destroy everything<br />

just mentioned. The tricky point for<br />

us humans is that these actions inevitably<br />

provoke emotions, feelings of<br />

something good or bad going on.<br />

Now remember your best dancing<br />

experience- when you were just in<br />

the moment, just enjoying the movement<br />

of your body, just playing like a<br />

child. That is exactly what Shiva Nata-<br />

raja is doing. He has no glow sticks<br />

in his hands but very powerful tools.<br />

A sweep of his right arm: Creation.<br />

A new baby is born, a lucky encounter,<br />

success and blissfulness. A strike<br />

with his left arm: Destruction. A tragic<br />

accident, cancer, senility, depression.<br />

Keep in mind that Shiva is dancing<br />

just like you in the middle of<br />

the dance floor, without any second<br />

thought, dancing for the sake of dancing.<br />

He is no obliging god- but no<br />

malicious one either.<br />

And it is alright like that. This is exactly<br />

what Shiva wants to tell us by rising<br />

his lower right hand, palm turned outwards.<br />

Don’t be afraid, it’s ok! If you<br />

look at the right foot of the goddess,<br />

you will notice that he is crushing an<br />

ugly little demon. This small creature<br />

named Apasmara is immensely powerful<br />

and represents ignorance and<br />

greedy, possessive egoism. Shiva puts<br />

his foot on it, breaking his back. But<br />

he is not pointing at this foot with his<br />

lower left hand and this is a very crucial<br />

fact. Rather, he points at his left<br />

foot which is already risen for the next<br />

step of his cosmic dance. Exactly this<br />

is the moral of this wonderful metaphor:<br />

Keep on dancing- between<br />

good and bad, between joy and<br />

pain, between sunshine and rain!<br />

THE BEAT reverberates throughout the room<br />

When the first beat of a new track<br />

starts rolling, it kicks off as an almost<br />

inaudibly buzzing sound coming<br />

from the speaker. Gradually what<br />

appeared to be just the humming<br />

noise changes into a more perceptible<br />

ticking in the background,<br />

louder and more intense with every<br />

kick. The clubbers are waiting for<br />

the moment when they can let go<br />

and lose themselves just for that<br />

one night. They take a sip of water<br />

but still keep on waiting. Meantime,<br />

the sound goes one level higher,<br />

like a firing spaceship slowly getting<br />

ready to blast off. As the sound<br />

is getting louder, a shiver of excitement<br />

spreads around the room like<br />

a tsunami. The crowd starts shouting<br />

with joy, cheering and clapping<br />

to the beat. It is obvious that the DJ,<br />

using his magical index finger glued<br />

firmly to the volume controller, has<br />

pushed the bottom slightly up. A bit<br />

more and it all goes slightly louder.<br />

Then out of nowhere a voice of<br />

must-be-from-another-planet species<br />

with a power vocal: “Don’t waste<br />

your time”<br />

Only for a split second, but on the<br />

dancefloor it sounds more like an<br />

eternity, the music freezes completely.<br />

It seems as if the music<br />

had the power to stop the momentum<br />

of time.<br />

And then it comes, rolling, rumbling<br />

through the space, with a blowing<br />

force of 30.000 Watt, like the thunder<br />

sent from the God in heaven, it is like<br />

the moment when for the first time<br />

the wild beast is finally tamed, hitting<br />

simultaneously one tick-tock after<br />

another: The beat!<br />

DER BEAT<br />

Wenn der Beat aussetzt, wenn es<br />

aus den Lautsprechern nur noch<br />

blubbert, raschelt oder zirpt und<br />

sich dann im Hintergrund langsam<br />

ein sirrender Ton aufbaut und lauter<br />

wird und höher und die Tanzenden<br />

warten, sich ausschütteln, einen<br />

Schluck Wasser trinken und immer<br />

noch warten und das Sirren des<br />

Raumschiffs noch eine Stufe höher<br />

schwingt und lauter wird und die<br />

Leute zu jubeln beginnen, gleich ist<br />

es geschafft, der DJ streckt den Zeigefinger<br />

nach oben, ganz weit hinten<br />

setzt ein tiefer Bass ein, das Sirren<br />

geht noch eine Stufe höher,<br />

wird nochmals lauter, die Vocoder-Stimme<br />

eines Aliens verkündet:<br />

„Dont waste your time“, für zwei<br />

Takte, weniger als eine Sekunde und<br />

doch eine Ewigkeit, setzt die gesamte<br />

Musik aus - und dann kommt er, mit<br />

der Urgewalt von 30.000 Watt, Gottvater<br />

persönlich, mit dem alle Musik,<br />

jeder Tanz, jeder Trance anfing, seit<br />

erstmals ein domestizierter Primat<br />

zwei Holzstücke monoton aufeinanderschlug:<br />

Rebirth of the underground<br />

in Hungary<br />

The very first Goa Trance tunes in<br />

Hungary were probably played<br />

by DJ Oleg around ‘92, and by<br />

2000 there was a strong community<br />

meeting at Psy Trance parties<br />

every week. The Hungarian psychedelic<br />

scene might have seen bigger<br />

peaks in its almost 20 years<br />

of history, but it is still a fantastic<br />

and popular scene. Ozora festival<br />

and producers like Para Halu,<br />

Kalumet or Insector make the Hungarian<br />

scene well-known around<br />

the globe.<br />

Progressive seems to be the most<br />

popular style at the parties today,<br />

but there is a fair share of Full On<br />

and Dark Psy fanatics as well. Meeting<br />

them you’ll realize one thing is<br />

common among all of them: They<br />

will offer you Palinka, a liquor from<br />

fruits, and it will be strong. Trance<br />

people here love Palinka just as<br />

much as making friends, if you plan<br />

a visit you can always ask the community<br />

for help on forum.goa.hu.<br />

Hungarian electronic music parties<br />

are suffering from a strict new<br />

law recently, as a consequence of<br />

a tragic accident in January when<br />

three young girls died in an overcrowded<br />

club in Budapest. As a reaction,<br />

the shocked public authorities<br />

now became extremely busy closing<br />

down venues and setting back events<br />

since this occurrence. It is especially<br />

hard for open air parties, although<br />

they’ve always been the heart and<br />

soul of the Hungarian scene. On<br />

the bright side, there are signs of a<br />

rebirth of the real underground and<br />

its nostalgic secret parties, and of<br />

course hard times bring the community<br />

even closer together: No one<br />

wants to miss the few open air gatherings<br />

that are still happening.<br />

As one of the fixed dates of this summer,<br />

Bakony festival is held 15-17th<br />

July at the shores of a beautiful lake<br />

surrounded by the mighty denominator,<br />

the mountain itself. If there<br />

is one thing for sure, it’s that everybody<br />

is drawn to Ozora, held in the<br />

beginning of August. With more than<br />

10 thousand visitors in the valley<br />

every year, Ozora has slowly become<br />

one of biggest meeting points of the<br />

psychedelic world, and of course the<br />

proud Hungarian tribe.<br />

If you are up to make both festivals<br />

you can easily spend the time<br />

inbetween checking out Budapest’s<br />

famous nightlife and bars or - since<br />

there are no relevant distances in<br />

Hungary - you can visit one of the<br />

country’s ten national parks or head<br />

to the biggest lake, Balaton and<br />

have a traditional retro holiday on<br />

the beach. Take your camping gear<br />

with you always, in Hungary you<br />

can legally camp almost anywhere.<br />

Tips and Facts<br />

� Any kind of drugs are strictly illegal<br />

in Hungary, smoking marijuana<br />

in public places can quickly<br />

get you in trouble<br />

� If you travel by train try to look<br />

for „Intercity” whenever you can,<br />

there is a small additional fee<br />

but it’s well worth the speed and<br />

cleanness of the trains.<br />

� Average entrance ticket to a psytrance<br />

party is 8-10 Euros. Interestingly<br />

enough you can find<br />

Techno / House / Breakbeat<br />

events in Budapest for 5 Euros<br />

or free. Beer however is usually<br />

cheaper in Psy Trance parties<br />

(between 1,5 and 3 Euros).<br />

Paradise Valley – The true spirit of Goa!<br />

28.12.2011 – 03.01.2012 • Morocco<br />

Celebrating outdoors in the sun is simply<br />

double the fun! Wouldn’t it be<br />

great to have this summer feeling also<br />

for New Years Eve, instead of partying<br />

in a crowded, musty club? Sounds<br />

like paradise? Well, Paradise Valley is<br />

within reach! Taking place in Morocco,<br />

this festival provides the possibility<br />

to spend the end of the year lightly<br />

dressed in exotic sceneries, listening to<br />

breathtaking music.<br />

In Paradise Valley, there are comfortable<br />

temperatures around 20 – 25 degrees<br />

even in winter. The dance floors are<br />

shaded by palm trees and a waterfall<br />

invites for some refreshing splashing. Perfect<br />

conditions for a revival of the real<br />

spirit of Goa! The three party areas will be<br />

designed by more than 100 artists, who<br />

put their hearts and souls in the creation of<br />

a loving atmosphere and an original music<br />

programme. There will be several workshops<br />

and even a tent where Ayahuasca<br />

sessions are held.<br />

Besides its fascinating culture, Morocco<br />

has the advantage that it is really affordable.<br />

This goes also for the two beach hotels<br />

of the open air: For 20 Euro per night,<br />

they offer the possibility to live right at the<br />

Atlantic, shuttle busses run frequently to<br />

the nearby festival where free camping<br />

is possible. Thought was also given to an<br />

easy arrival: It is possible to book a complete<br />

package for 270 Euro that includes<br />

a flight from Frankfurt, Berlin or Amsterdam,<br />

the transfer to the festival as well<br />

as the entry for the week at the festival<br />

(27.12.-04.01.). A similar offer exists for<br />

arrival from Malaga (Spain) via bus (26.12.-<br />

04.01.). A unique experience that will simply<br />

impress.<br />

An der frischen Luft und mit den<br />

warmen Strahlen der Sonne auf der<br />

Haut feiert es sich einfach doppelt<br />

so gut, wie dieser Tage deutlich zu<br />

spüren ist. Wäre es nicht schön, dieses<br />

sommerliche Gefühl auch Sylvester<br />

zu haben, anstelle in einem muffigen,<br />

überfüllten Club zu feiern? Klingt<br />

paradiesisch? Nun, das Paradise Valley<br />

ist zum greifen nah! In Marokko<br />

gelegen bietet dieses Festival die<br />

Möglichkeit, die Jahresendzeit nur<br />

leicht bekleidet in einer exotischen<br />

Naturkulisse zu verbringen, beschallt<br />

von feinstem Sound.<br />

Im paradiesischen Tal herrschen auch im<br />

Winter angenehme Temperaturen um<br />

die 20–25 Grad. Getanzt wird im Schatten<br />

eines Palmenhains, Erfrischung bietet<br />

ein Wasserfall. Optimale Voraussetzungen<br />

also, um den echten Spirit von Goa<br />

wieder aufleben zu lassen! In insgesamt<br />

3 Bereichen leben über 100 Künstler ihre<br />

Leidenschaft aus, um ein besonders originelles<br />

Musikprogramm und liebevolles<br />

Ambiente zu schaffen. Abgerundet wird<br />

das ganze von verschiedenen Workshops<br />

und sogar einem Zelt, in dem Ayahuasca<br />

Rituale stattfinden.<br />

Neben seiner faszinierenden Kultur bietet<br />

Marokko den Vorteil, insgesamt sehr<br />

günstig zu sein. Das gilt auch für die beiden<br />

Strandhotels des Festivals: Für 20<br />

Euro pro Nacht kann man direkt am<br />

Atlantik wohnen, Shuttles verkehren<br />

regelmäßig zum nahe gelegenen Open<br />

Air, wo frei gecampt werden kann. Auch<br />

in punkto Anreise hat man sich Gedanken<br />

gemacht. So besteht die Möglichkeit,<br />

für 270 Euro ein Komplettpaket zu<br />

buchen, das einen Flug von Frankfurt,<br />

Berlin oder Amsterdam sowie den Transfer<br />

zum und das Ticket fürs Festival beinhaltet<br />

(27.12.-04.01.). Ein ähnliches Angebot<br />

existiert für einen Bustransfer aus<br />

dem spanischen Malaga (26.12.-04.01.).<br />

Universo Paralello<br />

28.12.2011 - 03.01.2012 • Pratigi / Bahia / Brasil<br />

A decade of Universo Paralello<br />

has passed very fast! Undoubtedly<br />

among the most special gatherings<br />

of our scene, this festival has seen<br />

countless artists, a huge amount<br />

of culture in general and last but<br />

not least one of the most beautiful<br />

party crowds in the world. After a<br />

one-year break, Universo Paralello<br />

is back at its magic roots, a place<br />

that is certainly a universe of its<br />

own: Pratigi!<br />

UP is now taking place every 2<br />

years. In the even years, there is<br />

303 Festival- in the odd years Universo<br />

Paralello. Whis is this so?<br />

The idea is to have Universo Paralello<br />

every 2 years. In this way there is simply<br />

more time to prepare the structure.<br />

It is designed to be a great experience<br />

for long-time visitors as well as<br />

for people who come for the first time.<br />

The chapter 303 was very special for<br />

us. We just couldn’t imagine spending<br />

a new year without a party, so 303<br />

Festival was a great opportunity to celebrate<br />

together in a smaller dimension,<br />

but still full of magic.<br />

This year, UP is at the same venue.<br />

Is there a reason?<br />

After we traveled around different<br />

venues, we found that Pratigi is our<br />

best option for this year, there is just<br />

such amazing support from the local<br />

people there. Pratigi is a very special<br />

place and we already have all the<br />

structure we need to have an excellent<br />

festival without any trouble.<br />

There is a tradition in Brazil- people<br />

wear white clothes on New<br />

Year’s Eve…<br />

Yes, we like to welcome the New Year<br />

wearing white clothes, which symbolize<br />

light, peace, harmony- posi-<br />

tive energy for the upcoming year! It’s<br />

great to see that year after year more<br />

and more people join this tradition!<br />

The last UP decoration from SOLA /<br />

Ibiza was absolutely stunning. Will<br />

she decorate the festival again?<br />

SOLA made an incredible work during<br />

all the years she has been working<br />

with us, this year she will come again<br />

to surprise us with her stunning arts!<br />

Also our Portuguese friend Guerra will<br />

help us to create a beautiful scene for<br />

this edition... And our Brazilian crew<br />

is ready to blow your mind with fresh<br />

and unique ideas.<br />

Are there special flights from<br />

Europe for people who want to<br />

come to UP…<br />

Yes, we will have some special flights<br />

for visitors from Europe, for a very<br />

good price, leaving from Madrid, London<br />

and other cities. We’ll have all this<br />

information on our website very soon,<br />

stayed tuned!<br />

Do you have some tips for European<br />

travelers? What to explore in<br />

the Bahia region?<br />

If you are in the Bahia area, don’t miss<br />

magic places like Trancoso, Arraial<br />

de Ajuda and Caraiva in the south of<br />

Bahia, approximately a 30 min flight<br />

from Salvador or 6 hrs by bus from<br />

Pratigi. If you want something different,<br />

we recommend you to visit Chapada<br />

Diamantina, where you will have<br />

an incredible experience of waterfalls,<br />

trees and full connection with nature.<br />

If you don’t want to wander too far,<br />

go to Barra Grande with its beautiful<br />

beaches or Boipebaisland, the nearest<br />

places from Universo Paralello.<br />

Blissful Festival<br />

29.06.–03.07. • Portugal<br />

Imagine the warm summer sun<br />

kissing your face while you are<br />

moving your body rhythmically<br />

in hip-deep waters, listening<br />

to your favourite DJ playing<br />

an uplifting afternoon set on the<br />

shore. Imagine being surrounded<br />

by a green, rolling countryside,<br />

by friends old and new, and lots<br />

of other beautiful people from all<br />

around the world. Imagine taking<br />

a morning yoga class after<br />

a night full of dance and laughter.<br />

Imagine being blissful for 5<br />

days… Now you have an idea of<br />

the basic concept of Blissful Festival.<br />

Situated in the one-of-akind<br />

nature of Portugal, the aim<br />

of this event is to create some of<br />

the perfect summer days. Some<br />

days to remember- not only as a<br />

great party experience but also<br />

as an example how easy and<br />

peaceful life can be. An inspiring<br />

experience to draw upon even<br />

months later.<br />

Beautiful Portugal is not only well<br />

known as a hot spot of the Psy<br />

Trance scene, but also as a real hot<br />

spot during summer. This guarantees<br />

a literally unclouded open<br />

air experience. Still there is no risk<br />

of overheating: A lake will be created<br />

right next to the main dance<br />

floor by damming up a little river<br />

which allows celebrating in or out<br />

of the water! The dance floor itself<br />

will provide enough shadow for a<br />

comfortable party experience during<br />

the day, thanks to a 1764 square<br />

metre roof with a colourful mandala<br />

design by the Tribe of Frogs<br />

and Ganesha Space Garden. During<br />

the night hours, lasers and visual<br />

shows will create a stunning Psyper-space.<br />

A large LED video wall<br />

will do so also- and this one will be<br />

working even in daylight! An eco<br />

team will keep up a clean and<br />

natural vibe. Blissful Festival<br />

presents a distinctly psychedelic<br />

yet varied line up<br />

on the main floor including<br />

some of the currently<br />

most wanted artists of<br />

our scene. For those<br />

looking for some musical<br />

change, the DubTek Temple<br />

offers an inspiring mixture<br />

of Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Tech<br />

Trance, Reggae and Chill Out in<br />

a big Circus Tent, decorated by the<br />

great Austrian artist Psy Pix- who<br />

we interviewed for this mushroom<br />

issue, by the way.<br />

Five days of festival provide ample<br />

time to meet new friends and enjoy<br />

a spectacular party together, and<br />

also time to collect inspirations and<br />

experiences by the dance floor.<br />

For this purpose, the Blissful Festival<br />

crew teamed up with Zeitgeist<br />

Movement and presents another<br />

area for intellectual and spiritual<br />

input. This space shall be kind of an<br />

open laboratory for new social systems.<br />

Ambient music and videos<br />

provide a relaxing environment for<br />

cultural exchange. Yoga classes will<br />

run daily. Last but not least is the<br />

free camping area with many shady<br />

trees and the free caravan and car<br />

park with eco-toilets and showers.<br />

These offer tranquil ambience for<br />

some relaxed and blissful days. A<br />

Magic Family area supports parents<br />

who want to enjoy this festival without<br />

neglecting their children.<br />

Arcadia Festival<br />

26.08. - 28.08. • France<br />

The motto of Arcadia festival is<br />

„organic“. And in fact this open air<br />

event in the middle of France pursues<br />

this approach in a very consequent<br />

way. First of all, the decoration<br />

concept is literally organic,<br />

employing living plants to create<br />

an authentic natural ambiance,<br />

as well as unusual mobiles and<br />

light sculptures. The music programme<br />

does not only include the<br />

organically rolling grooves of topnotch<br />

Psy and Progressive Trance<br />

acts, but also represents the cultural<br />

growth and lively evolution<br />

of contemporary Electronic Dance<br />

Music by carefully including styles<br />

like Electro, Techno, Minimal,<br />

Downbeats, Dubstep or Ambient.<br />

Finally, the infrastructure of the<br />

festival is very organic: Biodegradable<br />

dishes and cups, organic dry<br />

toilets, ecologic paper, soap and<br />

toothpaste are just some examples<br />

for this sustainable party.<br />

“We discovered that spreading a<br />

gentle, clean organic feeling has a<br />

huge impact on the general vibe of<br />

the festival. So we decided to cultivate<br />

this style of event every year<br />

abit more”, promoter Matthieu aka<br />

D-Sens explains -<br />

„During the past years we saw plant<br />

walls, gardens, fountains, hanging<br />

nature in the middle of the dance<br />

floor and around. The new location<br />

of the festival is another change. It is<br />

a truly magic place, lush and full of<br />

energy.” Beside the great scenery,<br />

this new location offers a both unusual<br />

and amazing option for festivalgoers.<br />

On the one hand, there will<br />

be of course a free camping area.<br />

On the other hand, it is also possible<br />

to book a place on a camping area<br />

where there is electricity, water supply<br />

and permanent sanitary facilities<br />

available. Whoever wants even more<br />

luxury, can also book a bungalow.<br />

Further information at<br />

accomodation@aqua-veda.com.<br />

The party will concentrate on two<br />

dance floors, one presenting a diverse<br />

Trance line up, the other, an openminded<br />

concept of many joyful electronic<br />

music styles. Concerning the<br />

entertainment beside listening pleasure,<br />

Arcadia Festival strives to grow<br />

into the direction of a multicultural,<br />

multi-medial happening -<br />

„The biggest<br />

change in our festival<br />

will be an artistic<br />

extension, we<br />

want to develop<br />

further the digital<br />

art exposition<br />

and performance<br />

aspects of<br />

our event, create a<br />

bubble that pushes<br />

the boundaries of<br />

the crowd’s creativity<br />

by presenting<br />

many different<br />

digital art installations,sculptures,<br />

spontaneous<br />

fire shows and performances”,<br />

says<br />

Matthieu.<br />

Rumours even speak about a psychedelic<br />

festival parade taking place…<br />

An arts and craft market will represent<br />

the cultural diversity of our<br />

world and the food court will provide<br />

exotic meals to keep up the energy<br />

level in a delicious way. Finally a<br />

highly specialized security team will<br />

guarantee a safe and peaceful event,<br />

efficiently but very discreet.<br />

Music & Culture Festival<br />

27.07. – 01.08.2011 • Ancient Olympia, Greece<br />

As simple and plain as the name of<br />

this festival is, as varied and multicoloured<br />

is its program in terms<br />

of… you guessed it: Music and<br />

culture! During 6 days, 250 artists<br />

from 40 countries will present a<br />

large spectrum of electronic as<br />

well as acoustic, hand-made music<br />

but theatre, performances, lectures<br />

and workshops.Situated<br />

in the<br />

picturesque<br />

region of ancient<br />

Olympia,<br />

the environment<br />

of this<br />

open air is rich<br />

in culture as it<br />

can be. With a<br />

campsite opened<br />

for 9 days,<br />

the festival<br />

might be the<br />

perfect summer<br />

destination for<br />

travellers looking<br />

for a mixture<br />

of party,<br />

nature experience,<br />

cultural<br />

input and even<br />

beach.<br />

The music<br />

aspect of the festival is represented<br />

by two stages named after Greek<br />

gods inhabiting the surrounding<br />

oak forests according to the ancient<br />

mythology. Pan, the goat-legged,<br />

horned god of shepherds being<br />

famous for his hypnotic flute, is the<br />

inspiration for the Trance floor. Its<br />

epic line-up reads very psychedelic<br />

with artists like Avalon, Dick Trevor,<br />

Scorb, Talamasca, Shane Gobi<br />

and Laughing Buddha. Still, there<br />

is also great Progressive groove<br />

for the sunny Greek summer days<br />

like Emok, Symphonix or Sensient.<br />

Named after Artemis, the huntress,<br />

the goddess of fruitfulness among<br />

the 12 Olympian gods, the second<br />

stage offers a huge musical variety<br />

of Ambient, World Music, Reggae,<br />

Dub, Dubstep, Drum’n’Bass and<br />

even more… Bands like the Ozric<br />

Tentacles, Zion Train or Zen Garden<br />

create the unique atmosphere of a<br />

live concert, while artists like Broken<br />

Note, King Cannibal or Subeena<br />

spread modern electronic vibes.<br />

The culture aspect of the festival<br />

is represented on the Folos stage.<br />

Beside contemporary theatre performances,<br />

documentations will be<br />

shown about body, mind and poli-<br />

tics and speeches will be held. Another<br />

interesting aspect are the<br />

numerous workshops. On one hand,<br />

they deal with subjects like “The<br />

ancient medicine” or “Super foods<br />

and herbs”. On the other hand,<br />

there will be quite some technological<br />

classes about “New sound forms<br />

in real time electronic and natural<br />

sound combination”,<br />

“Modular mixing and<br />

synthesizing” or “555<br />

Timer and DIY electronic<br />

construction”.<br />

The environment<br />

of ancient Olympia<br />

offers still further<br />

variety; wandering<br />

through the ancient<br />

oak forests, home of<br />

the mystic half-horse,<br />

half-man Centaurs<br />

and Druade fairies,<br />

having a rest at the<br />

Erymanthus river only<br />

800 meters and east<br />

of the venue, or visiting<br />

the nearby village<br />

of Androni, is a great<br />

nature experience and<br />

brings to life the rich<br />

Greek mythology. For<br />

those looking for a<br />

lazy day at the beach,<br />

there will be a shuttle to Katakolo<br />

in Ilia, one of the most famous and<br />

amazing beaches only 40 minutes<br />

drive from the festival site.<br />

Music and culture festival is limited<br />

to 4000 tickets to guarantee a both<br />

international and familiar vibe.<br />

Tangra Eco Art Dance Festival<br />

09–13.09.2011 • Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria<br />

Located in the breathtaking countryside<br />

of the Pirin Mountains in<br />

Bulgaria, Tangra festival offers a<br />

spectacular final destination for<br />

travelers exploring the world of<br />

the European open air summer.<br />

The event is inspired by Tangrism,<br />

which describes a philosophic<br />

trinity of Tan (the universe), Nak<br />

(the human) and Ra (god). Accordingly,<br />

the festival pursues a very<br />

spiritual approach and strives to<br />

make this universal, profoundly<br />

sensible philosophic formula<br />

come true during 4 nights and 5<br />

days of music, dance and culture.<br />

With a focus on the rich scene culture<br />

of East Europe this ecological,<br />

tribal, shamanic and spiritual<br />

ritual might become a very special<br />

experience.<br />

Once home of the last Dragons, the<br />

green mountains of Bulgaria with<br />

their deep forests and clear rivers<br />

lend to Tangra festival a very<br />

pure and natural but also mystical<br />

vibe. This ancient energy is taken up<br />

every evening at sunset, when the<br />

music program on the main floor<br />

starts with a session of drums and<br />

acoustic instruments. For instance,<br />

Tengri from Macedonia or Tubiflex<br />

Project and Samodelia from the Bulgarian<br />

capital Sofia present independent<br />

sounds between ambient<br />

grooves, Ethno music and tribal<br />

influences, using lots of instruments<br />

and vocals as well. With the sun<br />

sinking beyond the horizon, the hypnotic<br />

rhythms slowly morph to electronic<br />

tunes. Cosmosophy, the<br />

collaborative project of Flooting<br />

Grooves (UK) and Dymons (UK),<br />

will perform a 6-hour set full of<br />

live drums, flute sounds and the<br />

unique feeling of a concert, starting<br />

with Tribal Progressive Trance<br />

and slowly but constantly developing<br />

towards Tribal Psy Trance.<br />

Tangra festival strongly represents<br />

the very fertile and exciting<br />

underground music scene of East<br />

Europe and welcomes some of the<br />

most interesting producers from<br />

this region. Atriohm, Encephalopaticys<br />

and Magic Seeds from Macedonia,<br />

Already Maged and Saikozaurus<br />

from Ukraine or Komarchiki<br />

from Russia stand for deep and<br />

twisted forest sound with an intellectual<br />

edge, telling epic mystic stories.<br />

More truly psychedelic sounds<br />

are provided by artists like Kliment<br />

(BG), Once Upon a Time (BG), Surbahar<br />

(BG) or Asoma (BG). September<br />

12th will be a full moon night,<br />

transforming the built-up spirituality<br />

and creativity into an eternal flow of<br />

primitive energy.<br />

According to its holistic idea, Tangra<br />

goes beyond the scope of a pure<br />

dance event. There is the opportu-<br />

nity to explore an intense visionary<br />

exhibition by Ukrainian artist<br />

Trootootoo and to get lost in the<br />

fantastic decorations by the Russian<br />

Quantum Tribe. Numerous workshops<br />

provide spiritual input about<br />

subjects like music therapy. Also,<br />

there will be a library of interesting<br />

books and a healing center offering<br />

spiritual practices, meditations and<br />

lectures on the ecological stability of<br />

our planet and the universe.<br />

Tangra festival is located 200 km<br />

from Sofia, 160 km from Thessalonica<br />

and 180 km from Skopje. The<br />

presale has started and will take<br />

place in three phases. Special price<br />

at the gates for everyone showing<br />

the mushroom edition June/July…<br />

SOL Festival<br />

25th to 29th of August 2011 • Extremadura, Spain<br />

The Third-Eye Vision team was<br />

just about to give up its ambitious<br />

search when they discovered a<br />

stunning, possible location for their<br />

festival project in Spain’s beautiful<br />

“wild west” close to the Portuguese<br />

border. This venue in Extremadura<br />

provided three of the basic ingredients<br />

for an open air experience<br />

to remember: An amazing scenery,<br />

a huge lake for swimming and a<br />

guarantee of sunshine. Luckily<br />

it turned out that the people<br />

from the nearby village<br />

of Santibañez el Alto<br />

as well as the local authorities<br />

were more than up<br />

for the idea of a multicultural<br />

electronic festival.<br />

Thus the project was<br />

sealed: Around the last<br />

weekend of August, a fusion<br />

of art, music, performance<br />

and dance will take place on<br />

the dreamlike location.<br />

Though SOL Festival will be their first<br />

open air event of this size, the Third-<br />

Eye Vision team is everything but a<br />

black horse when it comes to party<br />

organization. Consisting of members<br />

from Spain, Ireland, Holland,<br />

Germany, France, Belgium, Greece<br />

and India, the crew draws on a huge<br />

amount of experience. The history<br />

of their events reaches back to the<br />

late eighties when they promoted the<br />

rise of electronic music in Holland. In<br />

India, the team was responsible for<br />

classic Goa events up to 1997.<br />

The festival’s main music genre is an<br />

eclectic fusion of different traditional<br />

musical instruments backed with an<br />

electronic pulse and an emphasis on<br />

dance. The multi- cultural music programme<br />

includes popular artists as<br />

well as exciting inside tips from the<br />

genres of Trance, Techno and Fusion<br />

/ World Music. Three maestros have<br />

collected a music connoisseur’s line<br />

up of nothing less than pure quality:<br />

Frank Madsen from Koxbox, Pat Flanders<br />

from Mindwaves Music and Chillin<br />

Berlin and Leo Michaud, a less<br />

known artist but with a deep understanding<br />

of quality music. There<br />

will be three stages, each representing<br />

one facet of this entertaining<br />

fusion concept. The expertise of Bossinade<br />

Lightworks and Campattack<br />

from Holland is responsible<br />

for sound, lighting<br />

and ambiance together<br />

with the Dutch Young<br />

artists who are designing<br />

and creating the<br />

dance floor sun shading<br />

and deco. To get<br />

and keep everything<br />

rolling, the crew of<br />

Life Festival from Ireland<br />

will provide support<br />

and guidance with<br />

regard to logistics and<br />

organization.<br />

SOL Festival tickets include<br />

five days camping within the<br />

property grounds, situated in a rolling<br />

countryside on the shores of a<br />

OpenMind Eco-Festival<br />

Celebration and Well-being<br />

August 9th –16th 2011 • Between Montreal and Ottawa, Canada<br />

OpenMind Festival is a gathering of<br />

Celebration, Visionary arts, Transcendent<br />

music, Conscious workshops<br />

and Well-being. It’s a balanced<br />

ecstatic celebration of life!<br />

Come celebrate the ecstasy of life<br />

in nature! OpenMind is a unique,<br />

visionary and enchanted festival!<br />

A place where there‘s no boundaries,<br />

where we are all One. A space<br />

where we find our deep-rooted<br />

connection with nature. A time<br />

which allows well-being, to heal<br />

and reconnect with ourselves. A<br />

moment of pure expression and<br />

sharing, without limits or judgment.<br />

A break in time to celebrate ecstasy<br />

of life in nature!<br />

It‘s a festival where visionary arts,<br />

transcendent music and spirituality<br />

are united to give us the opportunity<br />

to seize the moment, live<br />

fully, outside our daily routines,<br />

in a supernatural universe. It‘s an<br />

occasion we give ourselves to contemplate<br />

life and let our innerchild<br />

emerge. To live in moments of<br />

peace, unconditional love and ecstasy;<br />

of Pure Life. To celebrate time<br />

while we still have time! To live life<br />

fully. Live Love without Limits…<br />

OpenMind Festival started from a<br />

vision; a vision to help consciousness<br />

to arise, to help us all to awaken<br />

about environment, nature,<br />

others, and about ourselves. This<br />

seed has grown into the OpenMind<br />

Eco-Festival; a gathering of celebration,<br />

well-being and peace much<br />

involved in sustainability.<br />

The vision of the festival is to burst<br />

current paradigms to enter in a new<br />

sustainable and free era; as well<br />

as to create an important positive<br />

impact on the environment, societies<br />

and global consciousness. To achieve<br />

this, our mission is to create individual<br />

and global change by creating<br />

spaces to allow the blooming of our<br />

children’s hearts and the experience<br />

of a new healthy, balanced and sustainable<br />

way of living. We put forward<br />

an extensive sustainable<br />

plan which you can<br />

consult on our website.<br />

OpenMind Eco-Festival is<br />

not only a visionary gathering<br />

of celebration, but<br />

also a moment to take care<br />

of ourselves; to reconnect<br />

with nature, with others<br />

and our inner child. The<br />

one week event has many<br />

different activities to offer:<br />

A sunny music stage playing<br />

world music, tribal, psychedelic<br />

trance, goatrance,<br />

psy-tribal, reggae, dub, trance; an<br />

ambient music stage playing ethnic<br />

music, Indian, psybient, downtempo<br />

ambient; an extensive yoga/workshops/conferences<br />

stage on a variety<br />

of conscious subjects; a healing<br />

area where all kind of therapist and<br />

healers offer free treatments; An<br />

enchanted forest to purify the contemplative<br />

mind; a visionary art exhibition;<br />

a giant labyrinth; a conscious<br />

cinema; sweat lodges; positive ceremonies;<br />

circus performances and<br />

original animations; a children’s village;<br />

a community kitchen; an artisans<br />

village; conscious restaurants<br />

and much more!<br />

The concept of the festival is to<br />

create a moment out of ordinary<br />

life, out of time, to be able to experience<br />

new things, to discover new<br />

tools for enlightenment, to live fully<br />

each moment without thinking about<br />

anything else. To achieve this, besides<br />

all activities offered and quite<br />

innovative decorations, all activities<br />

(but food) are free on site. Enjoy!<br />

Waldfrieden Wonderland<br />

12. – 14.08.2011 • Stemwede-Wehdem, Germany<br />

Die nackten Füße in feinem Sand,<br />

die Nase in frischer Waldluft: So<br />

wird im Wunderland gefeiert!<br />

Auf zwei Tanzflächen bietet<br />

dieses in mancherlei Hinsicht<br />

außergewöhnliche Festival 48<br />

Stunden Musikvergnügen ohne<br />

Unterbrechung, wobei der<br />

Schwerpunkt auf progressivem<br />

Psy Trance liegt. Viele kleine<br />

Details und mit ihnen das eine<br />

oder andere Abenteuer, das es zu<br />

entdecken gilt, runden das bunte<br />

Programm ab.<br />

Die Wonderland ist anders. Zum<br />

einen in geografischer Hinsicht.<br />

Anders als praktisch alle anderen<br />

großen, internationalen Erwachsenenspielplätze<br />

in Deutschland ist<br />

sie nämlich nicht am berühmten<br />

Goa Highway 24 gelegen, sondern<br />

im Großraum Minden in Nordrhein-<br />

Westfalen. Aber auch vor Ort unterscheidet<br />

sich die Geografie von<br />

anderen Festivals. Sie verfügt nämlich<br />

über ausgesprochen schöne<br />

Rundungen… in Form zahlreicher<br />

bewaldeter Hügel, von denen das<br />

Gelände umgeben ist. Auf diese<br />

Weise eröffnen sich immer wieder<br />

neue Ausblicke auf das bunte Treiben<br />

im Wunderland.<br />

Zum anderen ist es die Aufmachung,<br />

die dieses Festival zu etwas ganz<br />

besonderem macht. Da der eigentliche<br />

Partybereich nämlich nicht nur<br />

angemietet ist, sondern ganzjährig<br />

zu jenem Waldhaus gehört, dem<br />

die Örtlichkeit ihren malerischen<br />

Namen verdankt, kann hier langfristig<br />

geplant und vorbereitet werden.<br />

Von speziellen Bepflanzungen über<br />

Schaukeln und mit feinem Sand aufgeschüttete<br />

Tanzflächen bis hin zur<br />

aus Holz gefertigten Bühne und dem<br />

berühmten Aussichtslosenturm ent-<br />

steht so eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre.<br />

Neben der großen Tanzfläche, auf<br />

der es durchweg progressiv-psychedelisch<br />

zugeht, bietet ein weiterer<br />

Freiluftbereich tagsüber verspielten<br />

Minimal und Elektro. Nachts und<br />

im Falle von starkem Regen öffnet<br />

zudem das Haus Waldfrieden,<br />

in dessen Räumlichkeiten es progressive<br />

Beschallung gibt. Ein kleiner,<br />

sorgfältig zusammengestellter<br />

Markt bietet nicht nur Kleidung<br />

und Accessoires, sondern auch verschiedene<br />

Essens-, Tee- und Kaffeestände,<br />

wobei ausschließlich Bio-<br />

Lebensmittel angeboten werden.<br />

Im Campingbereich stehen ausreichend<br />

Toiletten und Duschen zur<br />

Verfügung. Zu guter letzt ermöglicht<br />

ein kostenfreier Transport vom und<br />

zum Bahnhof Lemförde die Möglichkeit<br />

einer entspannten Anreise<br />

mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln.<br />

Photo by Bakke<br />

Situated in the middle of a rolling<br />

countryside and lush forests,<br />

Waldfrieden Wonderland is different<br />

than most of the other<br />

adult playgrounds of the German<br />

festival summer. It’s not only this<br />

special venue that is so attractive,<br />

but also the extensive usage of<br />

natural materials for the festival<br />

design, which takes up the woody<br />

vibe of the surroundings. Focussing<br />

on progressive Psy Trance,<br />

Wonderland offers two open<br />

air dance floors as well as one<br />

indoor club room with altogether<br />

48 hours non-stop music. Free<br />

camping will be provided with<br />

toilets and showers. Easy arrival<br />

via public transport is guaranteed<br />

by a free shuttle bus from the<br />

train station Lemförde.<br />

Spiritual Healing<br />

25. - 29.08.2011 • Gerdshagen / North-East Germany<br />

In den vergangen 7 Jahren hat<br />

sich das Spiritual Healing Festival<br />

zu einem beliebten Höhepunkt<br />

des deutschen Festivalsommers<br />

entwickelt. In ständigem<br />

Wandel befindlich, repräsentiert<br />

sein außergewöhnlich vielseitiges<br />

Programm alle Facetten<br />

unserer Szenekultur: Psy Trance<br />

und Weltmusik, aber auch Naturheilkunde<br />

und moderne Spiritualität.<br />

Zwischen der Tanzfläche am<br />

Badesee, der Alternativ-Bühne<br />

und der Healing Area mit Vorträgen,<br />

Seminaren und Workshops<br />

entfaltet sich eine einzigartige<br />

Atmosphäre: Der Spirit von<br />

Harmonie, der in Erinnerung ruft,<br />

wer wir wirklich sind.<br />

Eine musikalische Besonderheit<br />

stellt die psychedelische Oldschool<br />

Nacht auf dem Trance Floor dar.<br />

Den entspannt- verträumten Auftakt<br />

für diese illustre Unternehmung<br />

spielt diesmal The Muses Rapt, ein<br />

Musiker, der schon seit den frühen<br />

80ern mit den psychotropen Eigenschaften<br />

von Klängen experimentiert<br />

und dessen Debütalbum den<br />

Titel „Spiritual Healing“ trug. Gleichsam<br />

darf man sich auf eine echte<br />

„First Lady“ des Psy Trance freuen:<br />

Miranda aus Schweden wird eines<br />

ihrer energiegeladen Oldschool Sets<br />

spielen. Acts wie U-Recken, Digicult,<br />

E-clip, Zyce, Silicon Sound,<br />

NOK, Ansolas & Lightrocker oder<br />

Miko on Magic Violin ergänzen ein<br />

modernes Trance-Moment. Zudem<br />

exquisiten Chill Out von Vargo.<br />

Neben dem vielseitigen Psy Trance<br />

Programm gibt es auf dem Worldmusic<br />

Floor Oldies der 50er und<br />

60er, Dance der 70er, 80er und<br />

90er, Dream Jazz, Blues und vieles<br />

mehr zu hören.<br />

Das traditionell aufwendige Rahmenprogramm<br />

beinhaltet eine<br />

Ausstellung der englischen<br />

Malerin Josephine Wall, die zum<br />

ersten Mal in Deutschland zu Gast<br />

ist. Eines ihrer fantastischen Werke<br />

ist auf dem diesjährigen Flyer der<br />

Spiritual Healing zu sehen. Die<br />

Künstlerin wird sogar gemeinsam<br />

mit den Besuchern malen. Weitere<br />

Angebote der Healing Area<br />

sind z.B. Naturheilkunde Seminare,<br />

Lach-Yoga, Qi Gong, ein Vortrag<br />

über Quantenphysik oder<br />

verschiedene Meditationen.<br />

Und schließlich ermöglichen ein<br />

Kinderspace mit FUNtastischer<br />

Gestaltung, das Healing Cinema,<br />

Feuertänzer und vieles mehr<br />

Besuchern jeden Alters und Interesses<br />

ein wundervolles Erlebnis.<br />

Auf dass das Motto des Spiritual<br />

Healing Festivals auch in diesem<br />

Jahr Wirklichkeit wird: „Mögen<br />

alle Wesen glücklich sein!“<br />

With a remarkabley varied programme,<br />

Spiritual Healing has<br />

become a popular highlight of the<br />

German open air summer. In addition<br />

to Psy Trance, a large range<br />

of World Music is represented on<br />

a special stage and in the Healing<br />

Area. There are many workshops<br />

and lectures on subjects like natural<br />

healing, laughing yoga, Qi Gong,<br />

quantum mechanics or meditation.<br />

The Trance floor is situated right next<br />

to a bathing lake. Its traditional Oldschool<br />

Night presents amazing artists<br />

like Miranda or The Muses Rapt. A<br />

visual highlight will be the exhibition<br />

of Josephine Wall, one of her fantastic<br />

paintings can be seen on this year’s<br />

flyer. The artist will even paint together<br />

with the visitors. A special place for<br />

children and a Healing Cinema finally<br />

make sure that the motto of the festival<br />

comes true: “May all beings be happy!”<br />

Indian Spirit Festival<br />

01. – 05.09.2011 • Heiligengrabe, North-East Germany<br />

„Das Beste kommt zum Schluss!“<br />

besagt ein Sprichwort. Und tatsächlich<br />

findet sich am Ende des deutschen<br />

Festivalsommers ein echter<br />

Höhepunkt in Sachen beschwingtpsychedelischer<br />

Freiluftkultur. Als<br />

internationales Stammestreffen<br />

bietet die Indian Spirit Gelegenheit,<br />

noch einmal mit der gesamten<br />

Open Air Familie zu feiern, bevor<br />

sich das Szenegeschehen nach drinnen<br />

verlagert. Das Rahmenprogramm<br />

hierfür kann sich wirklich<br />

sehen und hören lassen…<br />

In punkto Optik gibt es nämlich<br />

eine besondere 3D Dekoration auf<br />

die Augen. Was zunächst wie gut<br />

gemachte Schwarzlichtmalerei und<br />

Videoprojektion wirkt, entfaltet beim<br />

Blick durch spezielle Brillen einen<br />

wahrhaft bewusstseinserweiternden<br />

Tiefeneffekt. Bemerkenswert räumlich<br />

geht es auf den Tanzflächen auch<br />

in akustischer Hinsicht zur<br />

Sache. Funktion One<br />

Anlagen vermitteln<br />

hier ein einmaligesHörerlebnis,<br />

ihr Sound<br />

ergießt sich wie<br />

glasklare Flüssigkeit<br />

über die feierwütige<br />

Meute.<br />

Indes wirkt die<br />

Musik trotz<br />

sattestem<br />

Schalldruck<br />

nie<br />

aggressiv<br />

oder aufdringlich.<br />

Und<br />

so können<br />

die<br />

hypnotischen<br />

Klänge der aus allen Himmelsrichtungen<br />

anreisenden Musikschamanen<br />

ihre Wirkung besonders gut entfalten.<br />

Seien es die psychedelischen Abfahrten<br />

von Rinkadink, Ephedrix und Slider,<br />

die progressiven Rhythmen von<br />

Quantize, Neelix und Ritmo oder auf<br />

dem Dark Floor Hishiryo, Megalopsy,<br />

-Z- und Vic Triplag – anregende<br />

Beschallung für das spätsommerliche<br />

Tanzritual gibt es mehr als<br />

reichlich!<br />

“The best comes<br />

at the end!” as the<br />

saying goes. In fact<br />

the European festival<br />

summer ends<br />

with this top-notch<br />

highlight: Indian<br />

Spirit transforms<br />

the ancient vibe<br />

of a tribal meeting<br />

into a modern<br />

Trance ritual and<br />

offers the opportunity<br />

to see<br />

once again all<br />

the international<br />

open air family<br />

before the<br />

indoor season<br />

arrives. Since the<br />

late nineties this festival grew steadily<br />

and eventually became one<br />

the most popular along the famous<br />

North-East German “Goa Highway<br />

24”.<br />

This year the psychedelic design of<br />

Indian Spirit is literally taken to another<br />

dimension. A special 3D decoration<br />

and projection concept will produce<br />

a one-of-a-kind impression of optical<br />

depth when watched through special<br />

glasses. Also, the sound on the dance<br />

floors will be three-dimensional as it<br />

can be: Funktion One systems provide<br />

a truly physical listening experience<br />

with music pouring over the crowd<br />

like a crystal clear liquid. In this way,<br />

the hypnotic rhythms of the numerous<br />

music-shamans from all four corners<br />

of the earth can take effect in a very<br />

powerful way. Highly psychedelic takeoffs<br />

by Rinkadink, Ephedrix and Slider,<br />

progressive tunes by Quantize, Neelix<br />

and Ritmo or Dark magic by Hishiryo,<br />

Megalopsy, -Z- and Vic Triplag – there<br />

is everything to push the limits of exciting<br />

musical energy for this late-summer<br />

dance ritual!<br />

Theft at festivals<br />

Unfortunately this year’s open air<br />

season also brought a wave of<br />

theft. At several festivals, tents have<br />

systematically been ransacked and<br />

cars have been broken into. Therefore<br />

we call on you: Intervene by<br />

asking what is going on when you<br />

watch something suspicious. If the<br />

situation does not clear up by doing<br />

so or if you encounter any kind<br />

of aggressive reactions, alarm the<br />

nearby festival visitors about what’s<br />

happening and call the security!<br />

Diebe auf Festivals<br />

Leider hat die aktuelle Open Air<br />

Saison auch eine Diebstahlwelle mit<br />

sich gebracht. Auf verschiedenen<br />

Festivals wurden systematisch Zelte<br />

durchwühlt und Autos aufgebrochen.<br />

Daher an dieser Stelle der Aufruf:<br />

Mischt euch durch Nachfragen<br />

ein, wenn ihr etwas Auffälliges<br />

beobachtet. Sollte sich die Situation<br />

dadurch nicht aufklären oder ihr<br />

auf aggressive Reaktionen stoßen,<br />

macht andere Festivalbesucher auf<br />

das Geschehen aufmerksam und<br />

verständigt die Security!<br />

We made a mistake in<br />

the english version of the<br />

Kannibalen Massaker<br />

article. Indeed there will be<br />

some Hard Rock combos<br />

playing but they are just one<br />

little part of the colourful<br />

non-electronic alternative<br />

bands and songwriter music.<br />

The main part of this festival<br />

is of course Psytrance!

Random Road Trip!<br />

After having made an interview with Neelix about his unreleased tracks in our last<br />

edition, our little Australian, Ky, ended up road tripping back to Hamburg from<br />

Copenhagen after meeting him at an event held there.<br />

“I greeted Henrik behind the progressive stage (Neelix) and introduced myself. He<br />

immediately took me in his arms and said ‘thank you’. I feel so proud to be able to<br />

help the people behind the music, even more grateful to be appreciated. Neelix then<br />

invited me to join them in their minivan back to Hamburg along with Day Din, Benny<br />

Moon (&his brother Finn), Fabio, Klopfgeister and Symphonix, on one of the most<br />

entertaining spontaneous road trips of my life! And... after getting to know the guys<br />

abit better, the Hamburg crew are a good bunch. Thanks heaps guys! I encourage<br />

people to check out their music!” - Kylie Van Eerden<br />

Mekkanikka<br />

Artists are often working around the clock, and other arrangements. We were lucky<br />

enough to get our hands on this cheeky and sneaky screen shot of Mekkanikka!<br />

Festival Couch<br />

From a once crazy idea after a few<br />

drinks one night to motorize a couch,<br />

Mardy Daniel has really embraced his<br />

creation of Festival Couch!<br />

I must admit, I had to take a second<br />

look as I saw this wondrous thing<br />

zooming around at Rainbow Serpent<br />

2011 in Australia earlier this year, and<br />

I could only sit there in amazement as<br />

he awed the crowds. I think to myself...<br />

This guy is a genius.<br />

After chatting to him further, this guy<br />

taken on festival couch to new levels!<br />

He is now building, creating, hiring and<br />

sharing his wonderful toy with anyone<br />

who wants to hire one - from film clips,<br />

festivals, parties, or just for anyone<br />

who wants to have the novelty to buzz<br />

one around a festival for the weekend.<br />

Brilliant mate!<br />

Where are they now?<br />

DJ Mahasuka<br />

When it comes to the evolution of<br />

Progressive Trance, DJ Mahasuka<br />

from Hamburg is a name that would<br />

not be missed out. He first came in<br />

contact with the scene in 1993 and was<br />

instantly hooked. In 1999 he founded<br />

the project Intact Instinct, together<br />

with Stefan Hübner and Marcus Carp.<br />

Despite the fact that their sound was<br />

very minimal and came along with only<br />

a hint of melody, it was very deep and<br />

hypnotic in nature. He also worked<br />

together with Sebastian Krüger under<br />

the moniker Disco Slickers, another<br />

very successful project that serves as<br />

a prime example for the vast diversity<br />

of Progressive Trance in its early days.<br />

In 2003 Mahasuka withdrew from the<br />

scene. Since then he worked as a project<br />

manager, and also completed his<br />

two best productions so far - A son and<br />

a daughter. Currently there are reliable<br />

rumours around about a retro gig of Intact<br />

Instinct at a big festival… featuring<br />

all the three original members!<br />

Trance, Tech Trance and Chill Out *** Two extraterrestrial space travellers in search of<br />

party and drugs invade mushroom magazine: Alien Attack is a funny comic series ***<br />

and gives literature tips *** A new project named Vaishiyas appears with a first<br />

release on Hamburg’s popular Progressive label Jum Jam *** Charly Rinne, mastermind<br />

of the Novatekk label group, predicts Trance to go “back to the roots in terms<br />

of minimalist Techno-Trance”, though “there will be no such thing as an entirely new<br />

Trance style” *** Police controls and drug tests are subject of an extensive article<br />

Alcohol<br />

“The cause of, and solution to, all of life‘s problems” (Homer Simpson)<br />

Calculation of the blood alcohol concentration<br />

According to a formula provided by the Swedish chemist Erik Widmark<br />

Calculate amount of pure alcohol.<br />

E.g.: 1.5 litres beer containing 5% alcohol<br />

1.500 ml x 0.05 % = 75 ml pure alcohol<br />

Convert millilitres to grams using the specific weight of alcohol<br />

which is 0.81 (water is 1).<br />

75 ml pure alcohol x 0.81 = 60.75 g pure alcohol<br />

This value now has to be divided by the reduced body wight of<br />

the drinker.<br />

The reduced body weight of a woman is her actual body weight<br />

multiplied by 0.6.<br />

Why do I have to piss so often when drinking alcohol?<br />

Alcohol blocks a hormone that is responsible for the recovery of<br />

water from urine. In this respect, we are not talking about the urine<br />

which we eventually excrete, but its primary form that is produced<br />

by the kidneys in very high amounts. Thanks to the mentioned, so<br />

called anti-diuretic hormone, around 99% of the water of this primary<br />

urine are re-absorbed by the body. Because alcohol blocks<br />

The reduced body weight of a man is his actual body weight multiplied by 0.7.<br />

Let’s assume the drinker is female. Her reduced body weight is:<br />

65 kg actual body weight x 0.6 = 39 kg reduced body weight<br />

Now the calculated amount of pure alcohol has to be divided by the<br />

reduced body weight. The result is the per mL level.<br />

60.75 g pure alcohol / 39 kg = 1.56 per mL<br />

Decomposition of alcohol<br />

Per hour, around 0.1 per mill of the blood alcohol will be decomposed.<br />

In our case that means it would take the lady around 15 hours to be<br />

completely sober again! Keep in mind: The actual decomposition process<br />

and its duration strongly differs from human to human, this formula<br />

is everything but 100% reliable.<br />

this hormone, there is more water in the urine we excrete, which<br />

is to say there is a higher volume of urine. This effect is independent<br />

from the amount of water we drank recently- the body, consisting<br />

of more than 70% water, simply becomes dehydrated. This<br />

again is one of the major reasons for the hangover. Also, alcohol<br />

has a muscle-relaxing effect which also affects the muscles<br />

of the bladder.<br />

Did you now that…<br />

› There is no scientific explanation for the saying “Beer after wine and you’ll feel fine; wine after beer and<br />

you’ll feel queer”<br />

› The expression “toast” is based on the ancient Roman ritual to drop a piece of roasted bread into wine<br />

› A mixed drink containing carbonated beverage is absorbed into the body more quickly than straight shots<br />

› The pressure in a bottle of champagne is about three times the pressure in automobile tyres<br />

› Drinking lowers rather than raises the body temperature. There is an illusion of increased heat<br />

because alcohol causes the capillaries to dilate and fill with more warm blood.<br />

› One of the few short sentences in the English language to include every letter of the English alphabet<br />

is: “Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.”<br />

Myth: Movement accelerates the decomposition of blood alcohol<br />

Intense movement, like dancing, will not accelerate the decomposition of alcohol and the amount of<br />

alcohol transpired by sweating is only marginal. In fact, 95% of the decomposition of blood alcohol is<br />

done by the liver and this organ is not very fast: Per hour, the blood alcohol level decreases by 0,1 to<br />

0,2 per mL. It is true, that alcohol is transpired with the sweat but only a maximum of 5% - which is not<br />

relevant for an acute intoxication. Still, intense movement gets the circulation going, which has a positive<br />

subjective effect. This also goes for a strong coffee or a cold shower, which are often held to be a<br />

“downer” for an alcohol intoxication.


Investigating of Vaporizers<br />

For those trying to give up smoking<br />

tobacco, or for those just wanting to<br />

learn more about this term that has<br />

been floating around in more recent<br />

years... We spoke with Vaposhop to<br />

find out some answers about what<br />

exactly is a vaporizer.<br />

Vaporization - What is it?<br />

Vaporizing is becoming increasingly<br />

popular as a healthy alternative to<br />

smoking. For most users the noticeable<br />

difference between smoke and<br />

vapor gives quite the benefits: Vaporizing<br />

is healthier AND more effective,<br />

it utilizes much more of the<br />

herbs used than if it were smoked or<br />

burned. The vapor created when used<br />

is inhaled as a light steam, which not<br />

only feels healthier, but IS healthier!<br />

The differences can really be noticed<br />

when using over a seemingly short<br />

time! (see http://vaporizer-info.com/<br />

en/why-vaporize )<br />

What is a vaporizer?<br />

A vaporizer is a device that heats<br />

up dried herbs to a temperature<br />

at which they release their active<br />

components into an aromatic<br />

vapor. These days there are units<br />

you can purchase for the home,<br />

and also smaller more portable<br />

units for when you are traveling.<br />

In the process utilized by the<br />

vaporizer, the herb is not<br />

scorched, burned or combusted,<br />

and thus no<br />

smoke is generated. Although vapor<br />

may appear to resemble smoke, it<br />

doesn‘t contain any of the toxic particles<br />

(tar, benzene, toluene, naftalene<br />

etc.) which make smoking such a<br />

health hazard. (from: vaporizer-info.<br />

com – more at http://vaporizer-info.<br />

com/en/what-vaporizer)<br />

-thanks to vaporizer-info.com where<br />

you can find further info.<br />

Portable and electric vaporizers<br />

Portable vaporizers are great for on<br />

the go, but require batteries or butane<br />

to operate. An electric vaporizer is<br />

mostly used at home and is plugged<br />

into a wall outlet. Most electric vapor-<br />

izers allow for temperature control.<br />

In the case of cannabis, different temperatures<br />

can affect the psychoactive<br />

properties (high or stone).<br />
