So...the fest is over. Back to reality...

 

The lineup proved to be exactly what was needed for such a place. We're talking here for one seriously beautiful beach!!

 

The Ultimae team mesmerized us with their unique sound, I really can't distinguish anyone, HUVA, Aes Dana, Solar Fields, CBL, Asura, all of them were excellent and very appropriate for that time and place.

 

Youth earned our respect yet again, for his devotion to good music. His dub set was fantastic, playing tunes from Celtic Cross, Kumba Mela, Dub Trees and Youth in Dub projects. His live appearance with the newly formed Vertical Smile band was so entertaining, giving the live band feel and energy that is usually missing from such events. It was great seeing the veteran hold his bass again and playing it out loud...

 

The japanese...what can we say about them? Who would have thought that we would enjoy Uni playing live with drums (and in fact TWICE in the same festival?!). Japanese psy trance overflowing with energy, and thats a fact! As for Kay Nakayama, he really surprised everybody with his live set, a very intelligent set flowing from groovy sounds to psychedelic atmospheres, from breakbeats and intricate patterns to 4/4s and dancing rhythms. Stunning! And of course, Kenji Williams did what he does best, covered the place with his atmospheric violin melodies accompanied by his dancing wife, what a sight...

 

The usual chill suspects delivered as expected (and even more I would say) since both Abakus and Tripswitch played very fresh music which I am really eager to get my hands on!

 

For nostalgic guys (like me) listening to California Sunshine playing was an experience like no other. Needless to say, Har-El played all the classic tunes from that golden Goa era. Sadly I missed MFG, and I heard afterwards that I missed another good trip down the memory lane...

 

The big surpsise for me was I M LGND. Anna played a stunning set, ranging from avand-garde electronica (Autechre, FSOL) to drum & bass (4-5 killer tunes that I will definately have to track down).

 

I'm sure I am forgeting many other great moments (Gabriel Le Mar played an excellent groovy prog/minimal set), but quality-wise it was like condensing a 5 days festival in 3 days. It's a lot to take in!!

 

I also want, as Fabrics, to thank all the people who listened to our dj+live set, moving, nodding and dancing to the music. We respect you for that.

 

All in all, the high quality and variety of the music as well as the perfect setting of the festival left the best of memories to me. It was a small fest (around 400-500 people) and that made it feel like a cozy private beach party. Really good vibes from the people that gathered.

We had a great time in Lemnos and I hope this was the beginning of even bigger and even better things.
