TETRIS SAFARI FESTIVAL:

Benefitting the Meningitis Research Foundation

25-27 August, 2006

Northern Ireland

presale tix: £50

Tetris Safari is a charity electronic dance music festival taking place in Northern Ireland this summer Friday 25th - Sunday 27th of August. It is held on a large private estate in a secret location and promises to be an event unlike anything Northern Ireland has seen before. Tickets cost £35 for the first release and this includes a secure campsite for our guests to stay in. We are working with the Meningitis Research Foundation, donating the profits of the festival and helping try to raise awareness. It is also being run in association with a number of record labels and collectives both local and from abroad.

 

There will be three music areas: An outdoor Psytrance stage, a Minimal Techno stage and a massive chill space. We have a killer line up of international Djs as well as plenty of Northern Irish talent to keep your ears happy and your feet dancing. Not to mention the mind blowing décor and other visual treats we have in store for you.

 

The chill out area will be an elaborate covered village and music arena encompassing many different genres of Electronic music, all the comfy spaces you need and an array of stalls and multicultural food. In order that your festival experience is as safe and enjoyable as possible there will also be an information and first aid tent in the chill area whilst stewards and a friendly security team will be in place all over the festival grounds.

Inflatable deco, as well as Fluffy Mafia and Purple Project so the eye candy will be fab! Tons of stalls and goodies to wonder about and grab, and the location is a fortress/castle with less than a 10 minute walk to the beach.... and to top it off, surrounded by mountians.

 

This is a new start for a scene in Northern Ireland that has not really gone beyond little underground parties, so please do come out and support them, being a part of the dawn of a new scene is always majikal! And it is a benefit as well, so these guys are truly in it for the right reasons!

 

And for those of you that like proggy and more minimal sounds, weve got groovy afternoons for prog, and a whole minimal techno tent.... as well as a chill area and a renegade local techno stage for those hardcore ones :P

 

Something for everyone !

 

 

 

 

~ Fly to Belfast: from here there will be busses to the venue leaving every hour.

Oh wow, what a party, where to begin.

 

Arrived late Thursday night and within 5 mins was handed a beer, so lets start off as we mean to continue. After a bit of socialising it was kip down time ready for an early start on the Trance stage, my set was due to go out at 1.30pm. However, it rained hard practacally all day friday do the trance was called off. Mischief was provided by anyone and everyone and the day passed off with much hilarity especially 'The Wonky Gentlemans club'. I did like the Jeremy Beadle joke, but it was the Henry's superman joke that had me in stiches.

 

Saturday kicked off with Edoardo doing a minimal electro set which was blinding followed by the uber-talent of Grant Collins (Darshan - Excession) fuckin blinding mate !!!! The other acts I saw in Staurday were in the form of BeatNik fully sik intro to this set !! well twisted. then Tron, LiquidRoss and Dick Trevor, but by this time the liquid was fully kicking in and I felt like I needed to explore my mind so I went off wandering around the site for a few hours finally crashing out in my tent about 6am. I woke up to find everyone in the ID Spiral mini-dome.... SPANKED wasnt the word. So a day chilling out with progressive from the Domo guys Nadi & Huda G blaring from the rig was just what was needed.

 

Later on Sunday the Tom Lurk, Aurora, and Morph took to the stage to bring the entertainment whilst most people were making sure the girl with the 6 foot tall bottle of N2O wasnt going home with it even half empty.

 

Overall a great time was had by us all and Id definitly go back next year to support the young NI scene. Great friendly (ex IRA) security, beautiful location, great hospitallity thanks to Gemma and Charlie, and great food.

 

As all first time festivals, there is lots to sort out and lots of work in the organising, but its a learning curve and next years will be really something to look forward to.

 

Northern Ireland rocked !!!
