Most of you who've been to a few festivals over the years probably noticed the Swedish "trance-family" of with their 3 childeren. At Sonica we got to know them a little better as they camped next to us, so when a mutual friend asked me to make someting of a souvenir of that, I happily accepted... Seamus at Sonica

Same question over here!

Ofcourse, since you & the Mss are in there too

Tegma: been around for years & still innovating (& improving) their sound !!

Well ,that depends doesn't it ? I'd say I've helped in well over 50 parties over the past coupple of years ranging from working the bar, building up before, cleaning up afterwards, taking care of international guests or helping at the entrance. Most of the times it was great fun & a favour you're doing to friends who are throwing the party, but the worst was probably 2 shifts of + 8hrs behind the bar in a 2 day-festival In my experience some organisers actually preferred to hire fixed ppl for a certain job because to their calculations it was cheaper to just pay somebody from out of the scene to do the bar than just have friends behind the bar for free. Becasue those friends might give away some free booze "just ot their friends" & then 2hrs later, there's a new shift who do the same etc... Also a LOT of the younger ppl in the (Belgian) scene just want everything for free & in the end this only raises the price of the next party. BUT, in general, it should work like that yes

Unfortunately i had the same experience @ Wonderland & Tshitraka, both in 2005... BUT cool that the Swiss guys had more luck!

Depending on time & place of the event & nature of the "assignment", I'd be interested...

When the first Limelight came out on Tribal Vision nearly 1,5 years ago it immediately got me hooked on their style of trance/house music. Now they just released Limelight 2. Could it be just as good as the original? 1 Rai: Inspiration (9:16) 2 Fitalic: Manufactured Miracles (9:08) 3 Ryan Halifax: Give And Get (7:57) 4 Tegma: 50.000 Watts (7:53) 5 Sonify: Groove Seductive (9:29) 6 Greed (2) vs. Sonic Cube: Divine (7:48) 7 Brisker & Magitman: Strike Back (7:56) 8 Solead: Lay Down (8:37) 9 Vibrasphere: Floating Free (8:08) 1: Just like Tribal Vison itself Rai operates from Prague in the Czech Republic. This is one of his best productions to date & that’s mainly due to the very nice percussion-arrangement. Groovy, clubby house with a touch of class. 2: Ever since my first encounter with Fitalic (“Bustanovice” on “Prooved vol2”) I’ve been very keen on his out-put. And once again he delivers the goods: multi layered UK-progressive with exact balance between growling bass lines & sexy moaning. Highly addictive stuff!! This Dutch Master will release his full album on Tribal Vision in the very near future, don’t miss it! 3: As with most of Ryan Hallifax' productions you either love or leave it. And I just love this to bits: a shifting vocal-loop, cutting up “What you give is what you get” into a hypnotic mantra over a roaring mechanism. If you really want a reference, try “Star69” by Fatboy Slim, but then way better music wise. People who dislike vocal-samples in trance (like Neelix) better steer clear of this one, but to me it’s one of the most obvious standout-tracks. 4: Sh*tg*d*mn, what a track: my definition of Electro House with electronic bliiips & bops everywhere and something that most tracks in this style seem to lack: an energetic climax. Add some rough, hovering bass-lines & the catchiest hook since Ticon’s “You make me wanna drink more” This one has got it all & proves once more that Tegma are far from one-trick-pony’s. No fast trancy stuff like on AvantGarde or no ethnic instruments like on their last (brilliant) album, these guys just keep innovating their sound. 5 Sonify starts/stops/starts out very promising & succeeds in keeping this up throughout the whole track. A cool concept, with sounds that keep on dropping in & out of the track. But, somehow it’s not entirely convincing me (yet). Could be just because the competition on this compilation is very though? 6 I really do love the trademark Sonic Cube-sound with the shifting keys, happy vibes & disco-sounds. It’s pretty original, especially the climaxes are just delicious & I’m still enjoying their full album from some months ago. Unfortunately, sometimes they tend ruin it for me with their vocoder-vocals from the Swiss cheese-factory and sadly this is not exception. Nothing against vocals but at least drop that tiresome vocoder maybe? 7: Another highlight by Brisker & Magitman, a progressive duo from ISR surprise-surprise, previously releasing on SOG . This one really grabbed my attention & what it lacks in melody, it makes up for in very Phat & addictive rhythmic variations that get you head-nodding instantly. Indeed, it’s has one of those other electro elements, which is only used very rarely: a wonderful B.R.E.A.K. 100% indoor & outdoor-proof! More of this please… 8 Solead is up next. One of the very few tracks I'm not entirely happy with the production. The hi-hats, hisses & waves of white noise seemed a bit to harsh & sharp for me. A shame because the actual music isn't bad at all: very deep, atmospheric house with clubby, female vocals. 9 Very nice & floating progressive trance as usual from Vibrasphere, with dreamy soundscapes & warm waves. It’s still very good but I can’t shake the idea they should explore some new territory in the near future. Conclusion: This is Electro House (Progressive Trance) in all it's glory. God, I hate that name, but I love that sound. Kick out the glow-in-the-dark Ganesha's & incense and bring on the disco-balls, sunglasses & smoke-machines. If you 're a dj, get your hands on this & you too can be D-Nox OR Beckers, 2 guys who would have felt right at home here. This combines the dreamy “rock-to-the-beat”-progressive journeys with the juicy, classy & sexy styles of the clubs. Perfect for home listening as well & people with a background in electronic music will certainly recognize some of the sounds & samples used here. My only point of criticism is the vocoder-trend, but I won’t get into that any more. Personally I’d be more interested in some experiments with breakbeats. Buts as long as people like Tegma, Fitalic and Brisker & Magitman are involved there won’t be any lack of creativity. With more than half of the tracks being straight winners what more can you say than: a great compilation from Tribal Vision, again!

This was the 10th edition of Wonderland & once again it was a great experience... As usual, the family-feeling was so strong that not even a few raindrops could stop us from having a great time! http://www.psygarden.be/e107_plugins/galle...NavId=xabab8d77

Atmos: great music Son Kite: great music made by real musicians Highlight Tribe: great music made by real musicians on actual instruments SUN-project around 1999: I was getting into the whole emectronic music thing rather than my previous love: guitar-bands. & then I discovered a live-act which combined both: aWESOME!

Well, so far I only managed to get halfway through it where there is a Monstrous Floorburner by Tegma "50.000 watts". That track alone makes it worth checking out!

Now HERE's an album I've been waiting for for a looong time I heard the "Crazy People" track all this year on several festival dancefloors, yummie! Bring it on Nicola!

Same here! When I just got into mushrooms well over 10 years ago, that was the album that would always be the soundtrack for the "psychonavigation". One of the first electronic albums I really cherished aswell!

Highlight Tribe indeed & this weekend I discovered "Orange" a live percussion-trance project with 5-6ppl on stage. I'll post a linkt to our pictures & you'll see what I mean then...
