He has been a dj since 2000 and his styles have varied during the course of the past few years… He mainly spins Psychedelic Trance and occasionally Drum &amp; Bass/ Jungle. In August of 2003, he began producing his own Psychedelic Trance and really enjoys writing his own music. He has many tracks and have several releases on labels like Mistress of Evil records, Trishula Records, Manic Dragon Records, Insomnia Records, Acidance Records, Geomagnetic TV, and a few upcoming compilation tracks on labels like Auraquake and Tantrumm Records.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a violist for 10 years in adolescence and has been a fan of all types of music, instrumental and non… He is a big fan of all types of psychedelic music, as well as funk, jazz, rock, and heavy metal…. He has found that in electronic dance music, a lot of the structure is similar to classical music. He has also been researching a lot of classical music to use as structural inspiration for his own pieces… His Debut album Cats @ Play has been released on Trishula Records in March 2006, and now he is beginning conceptual ideas for the next Mubali album as well as starting a new abstract electronica project, Xabuumuphu.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.phutureprimitive.com/" target="new"&gt;&lt;big&gt;PhuturePrimitive&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; Live PA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/phutureprimitive-.jpg" alt="Phutureprimitive"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phutureprimitive is the musical creation of DJ, Producer and Remixer Rain. Rain first began DJing in 1992 after discovering the new sound of Trance and Chillout in the underground music scene.  He later played a key role in bringing the sound of Trance to the Northwest in the early years of rave&amp;#8230;a time when house and techno were the standard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;While adding to his music collection, Rain also began to acquire the music equipment that would eventually become Phutureprimitive Sound Labs, founded in 1996.  Intent on building the skills required to express himself musically, he made the decision to keep his work private&amp;#8230; until his debut album on Waveform Records titled Sub Conscious finally escaped from the studio in 2004.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phutureprimitive has since become a top artist in the downtempo/psy-chill/phuture-dub music scene, performing in cities and countries throughout the United States, and Europe including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, England, Scotland, Portugal, Holland, Italy and Croatia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many components to the Phutureprimitive sound which can be described as diverse and eclectic.  Musically ranging from atmospheric downbeat and Drum n Bass patterns, to ethnic breaks, vocals and percussions, to dub and beyond.  The fusion of organic and synthetic elements:  In the last 10 years, artists have come such a long way in blurring the lines of musical genres.  It&amp;#8217;s one thing to strive for originality or innovation in a particular genre.  When a conscious decision is made to combine or borrow from many genres, or simply make music out side of any conventional category, a whole new world of possibilities open.  Listening boundaries are diminished and cross-culturalism begins, creating something new and unheard of.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subterranean Electronic Tribalism.  Vibration for the Imagination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Telepathik - Oregon&lt;br /&gt;LIVE PA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/telepathik.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Telepathik is the new Psytrance project of DJ / Producer Rain, the same mind behind international act Phutureprimitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rain first began DJing in ‘92 after discovering the new sound of Trance and Chillout music in the underground music scene. He later played a key role in bringing the sound of Trance and Goa to the Northwest (USA) in the early years of rave…………a time when house and techno were the standard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a Psytrance project Telepathik is diverse in it’s sound, sometimes leaning towards a more progressive groove, sometimes melodic, while other times diving straight into a Full On driving frenzy. Never staying in any one place for very long, this music is always shifting and changing into new sounds and themes. This is dance music that takes both your mind and body on a journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Telepathik is destined to follow in the footsteps of Phutureprimitive who has already become a top artist in it’s genre, performing in cities and countries throughout the United States, and Europe including New York, Los Angeles, England, Scotland, Portugal, Italy and Croatia. In the past two years Telepathik has shared the state with many other Psytrance acts including: Hallucinogen, Infected Mushroom, Deedrah, Antix, Tron, Noosphere, Dick Treavor, Pixel, Ecliptic, Liquid Ross, and many others. Having already gaining attention from international labels and festivals, Telepathik is set to release his debut album on Liquid Records in the near phuture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.psymbolic.com" target=new&gt;&lt;big&gt;Psymbolic&lt;/big&gt; - Live Interactive Visual Environments&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.psymbolic.com/transmit/psymbolic_visual.jpg" alt="Psymbolic" style="border-style: none" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This catalytic duo (Julee &amp;amp; Troy) create Live Interactive Visual Environments.

Depending on the energy and mood of the crowd, I will vary all of this. It just depends on the vibe…”&lt;/i&gt; (Massive Magazine)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;dan efex is well known for his ability to draw a frenzied excitement out of even the mellowest of crowds. It is not uncommon to see fans packed shoulder to shoulder, hands in the air, as he leads them through an energetic and intoxicating journey on the dance floor. There are many who consider him to be one of the founders of the Midwest’s trance scene, a scene that is still strong and growing today. He was one of the first to introduce the Midwest to the soaring build-ups and powerful explosions characteristic of some of his styles of trance. But although Dan is perhaps best known for his trance, do not be fooled &amp;#8212; he is as diverse as he is skilled! His repertoire of past events includes sets with progressive trance, psychedelic trance, hard techno, hard core, hard house, slow breaks, tribal and ambient. He mixes it up and keeps it interesting. His unfailing ability to read the crowd and know precisely what to plug in ensures that he leaves no stragglers behind on his musical excursions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Little History&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dan has been a performer in the electronic dance music scene for more than ten years. Dan made his first public appearance DJing at the one-year anniversary event for one of the best-known promoters in Milwaukee, The Drop Bass Network, in 1993. Even today, people still speak of that explosive performance that put Dan Efex on the map.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;From that first public appearance, Dan gained instant recognition and quickly amassed an enormous following. His appearances in nightclubs from coast to coast skyrocketed. Starting in the early days, he appeared at the legendary Tunnel (New York), Rise (Baltimore) and Time (Los Angeles). He has since traveled to more than 50 cities throughout the United States and Canada headlining numerous events with some of the world’s best known DJs including: Richie Hawtin, Sandra Collins, Dave Clarke, Pablo Gargano, Chris Liberator, Nigel Richards, Juan Atkins, Derrick Carter, Joey Beltram and Delta-9 &amp;#8212; to name a few.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even with an extensive travel schedule, Dan does not neglect his hometown. Dan has a lengthy roster of lounges, events and benefits at which he has headlined. In addition, Dan is a weekly resident at Crobar Chicago and makes frequent appearances at Spundae events, recently playing alongside artists such as Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren and BT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A turning point in Dan’s DJ career came when he met Scott Gianquita and Jason Bloom of Deepsky in 1996. He began his production career working with Scott and quickly signed several tracks to Time Unlimited records out of Germany. Dan has been steadily climbing into the hearts and souls of trance-lovers everywhere. He recently contracted with Nepol Records for some of his newest tracks and completed remixes of well-known tracks such as Sasha’s Wavy Gravy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;With all the activity surrounding Dan, the media quickly picked-up on his mass appeal. Dan has made guest appearances on Energy 92.7 Clubland Underground and Q101’s Sonic Boom, Chicago’s biggest electronic dance music stations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dan’s most recent project started in Fall of 2001 when he was contracted to write the theme song for the new Chicago television show Afterhours Television (ATV), a show dedicated to electronic dance music. The show has featured Dan’s performances several times. Due to overwhelming popularity, Dan is now a sound engineer for the show and a resident DJ at all ATV events. The show airs on Friday nights at 11:00 p.m. on WJYS channel 62 in Chicago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;Nick Synergy&lt;/big&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.overmindworks.com" target="new"&gt;Overmind Works&lt;/a&gt; - Phoenix&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/nick_synergy.jpg" alt="Nick Synergy"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nick Synergy hails from the southern Midwest.  After some experience as a mainstream DJ, he caught the techno bug in 1992, ironically from the radio.  The newfound rave culture also fascinated him, and thus he became increasingly absorbed by DJing and electronic music. He began beatmatching in 1995 and has been immersed in many facets of underground dance culture ever since.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s a bit of an idealist, but something of a realist.  He has a benevolent nature and brings a solid work ethic to creating and promoting events.  Gravitating toward the funky, groovy, and progressive sides of electronic music, the dynamic vibe this man carries is best demonstrated by the music he plays.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;Professor X&lt;/big&gt; - Trance Psyndicate - Phoenix&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/professor_x.jpg" alt="Professor X" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;He started djing electronic music in 1998 when he was going to one of the top audio schools in the country.  He was first influenced by progressive house and breakbeats.  After homing his engineering skills, he began playing shows at clubs in downtown Orlando, Florida and engineering live sound for concerts at Universal Studios.  After his popularity grew he got booked at bigger venues, such as the Hard Rock Live and The Groove.  His driving electronic beats were sucking people on to dancefloors and giving them an experience they would never forget.  His captivating presence kept fans wanting more and more.  They were feeding off his intense vibe that he created every time he played.  Sooner or later hurricanes drove him out of Florida and he headed back to the Midwest.  After meeting DJ Zero Six in his hometown in Illinois, he discovered psytrance and became a core element of the Trancepsyndicate.  He has played at parties such as the Cosmic Outset, Earthdance, and the Apsylum for the Unsane.   He is now playing outdoor festivals for Overmindworks in Phoenix, AZ.  His full-on energetic sound has infected many people&amp;#8217;s consciousness in ways they never thought possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;Underfoot&lt;/big&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.audiognomes.com" target="new"&gt;Audiognomes&lt;/a&gt; - Texas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/underfoot.jpg" alt="Underfoot" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Underfoot is a nimble, Puckish gnome, small in stature but large in sound. A peddler of many potions, his sets will perk your ears, tug at your heartstrings and yank at your extremities.

Paradigm has been fortunate enough to share the stage with artists such as Wizzy Noise, Atomic Pulse, D-tek, Eskimo, Neuromotor, Hyper-Frequencies, Earthling, Dark Soho, Miraculix, C.P.U., Quadra, Astrix, Nomad, Paul Taylor (Spun), Shawnodese (Mind Funk), Arturo (Maia), Anneli (Sweden) and so on&amp;#8230;and of course many if not most of the US based producers including Penta, Chromatone, Random, Deeper in Zen, Greg on Earth, Mubali and almost every other U.S. live-performance worth mentioning. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;Hahn the Barbarian&lt;/big&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.overmindworks.com" target="new"&gt;Overmind Works&lt;/a&gt; - Phoenix&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/hahn_the_barbarian.jpg" alt="Hahn the Barbarian" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hahn&amp;#8217;s mind began making sense of electronic music in 1992 with the acquisition of a home computer and the installation of Mechwarrior 2. In his early years, he developed an affinity for pop music and, through his interest in GI-Joe toys, he developed an acute case of Collector&amp;#8217;s Syndrome. This was a perfect foundation for the music enthusiast and collector that the psytrance scene knows today as Hahn the Barbarian. A sucker for nearly all types of electronic music (especially all hybrids of psytrance), he is primarily dedicated to high-tech sounds that reveal a prescient glimpse of the future.  While many of his sets are comprised mostly of the sounds in his playlist at the respective time, some of his favorite journeys have taken Hahn and his listeners through the realms of Dark Psy-tech, Organic Pro-tech, Aggro Full-on and Hyper-Neo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through a string of events and circumstances several years ago, Hahn met Dr. Bones and assisted him in laying the foundation for what is now Overmind Works.  Consistent practice and experimentation behind the mixer led to Hahn&amp;#8217;s realization of the label now worn by all music manipulators in the Overmind Works crew:  &amp;#8220;Audio Navigator&amp;#8221; (&amp;#8221;AuNav&amp;#8221; for short).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;Scotty Rotten&lt;/big&gt; - Trance Psyndicate - Miami&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/scotty_rotten.jpg" alt="Scotty Rotten" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Scotty has been behind the scene since the late 90&amp;#8217;s.  Starting as a trance DJ in Chicago, he has played at several of the largest night clubs in the windy city.  In 2003 he moved his residence to Florida, but has maintained close ties with the original Trance Psyndicate founding members and has played an integral role in our existence.  After a strong comeback at Earthdance last year, he is poised to serve a reminder to those who might have forgotten him from days past.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;Primordial Ooze&lt;/big&gt; - &lt;a href="http://www.geomagnetic.tv" target="new"&gt;Geomagnetic.TV&lt;/a&gt; - Chicago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/primordial_ooze.jpg" alt="Primordial Ooze" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;The Primordial Ooze project was created by DJ&amp;#8217;s Kaiser Soze and S.O.T. as an experiment in genetic sound programming and nano-acoustic engineering. Self-replicating and mutating algorithms, swarms of frequencies that collaborate, breed and communicate, flourish in an environment of artificial selection and continual evolution. Currently working on two albums this energetic live act is continuously expanding their farm of pet-frequencies with various sonic creatures. These lively pets can cause serious mayhem on the dancefloor! But with properly tied shoes, participants are generally safe and happy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;Art Of Ill Fusion&lt;/big&gt; - Peoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/wp-content/gallery/earthdance_2006/page5-1277-full.jpg" width="266" height="200" alt="Art of Ill Fusion @ Earthdance 2006" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Formed in the Spring of &amp;#8216;04 Art of Ill Fusion has quickly gained national touring experience and spread themselves through the festival circuit. The music can be described as Funk, Jazz, n Reggae, all mixed with Progressive rock jams and crisp lyrical content. Art of Ill Fusion has headlined Winterfest, FusionFest, The Demoine music fest called The Briar Patch. Art of Ill Fusion also had their own two night stand for the 4th and 5th of July in Baltimore, MD all in the last year and continually look to branch out to more and more venues. The highlight of the summer was heading up with members from Umphrey&amp;#8217;s McGee, moe., Groovatron, Hot Buttered Rum, Rays Music Exchange, The Station and several others for the Superjam at Summercamp.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;With several more shows under their belt, the focus has been on rehearsing their live show. They have acquired some of the highest touted musicians to ever play in the Peoria area. With the abrupt exit by James(Bass), they grabbed up Mike Lee of Freudian Press, Bonanza Jellybean/Rochness Monster fame. He has quickly become the rock foundation that the fusion Machine rides on. Brian Railey from Squib Potential on Percussion and vocals has joined in the groove recently. Also they first had Rusty Hall, who has played with too many people to name,on keys and now Kim Thomas one of Rusty&amp;#8217;s musical offspring taking his place while he tours abroad with Benard Allison. The addition of these musicians, truly has made AIF an All-star line up and represents a complete time line of the Peoria music scene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="0" width="100%"&gt;&lt;caption&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Other Artists:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/caption&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/lucina.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DJ Lucina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Independent&lt;br /&gt;Albuquerque, NM&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/aktif.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aktif&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind Outpsyde&lt;br /&gt;Cedar Rapids, IA&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/agenthurt.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Agent Hurt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind Outpsyde&lt;br /&gt;Peoria, IL&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/collision.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Collision&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind Outpsyde&lt;br /&gt;Cedar Rapids, IA&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/psilopsyben.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PsiloPsyBen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audiognomes&lt;br /&gt;Madison, WI&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/trevor.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alien Audition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind Outpsyde&lt;br /&gt;Cedar Rapids, IA&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/geal.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GeaL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audiognomes&lt;br /&gt;Madison, WI&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/robyo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robyo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audiognomes&lt;br /&gt;Rockford, IL&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/airyck.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Airyck&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mystic Morning&lt;br /&gt;Marian, IA&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/derby.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Derby&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TOUCH Samadhi&lt;br /&gt;Chicago, IL&lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/asmadeus.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asmadeus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asmatronica.Com&lt;br /&gt;Chicago, IL&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/damon.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Damon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chillumafia&lt;br /&gt;Chicago, IL&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/varun.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yidam&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chillumafia&lt;br /&gt;Chicago, IL&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.trancepsyndicate.com/images/promo/shai.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shai&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D .

Nice sets all around but thought that Paradigm&lt;br /&gt;   had an inspired set and was grooving out hard to it!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;   so much for the hospitality Igor!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR SIZE=1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;Title: &lt;B&gt;Re: NYE BASH!!!!!!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Post by: &lt;B&gt;Robyo&lt;/B&gt; on&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;B&gt;January 04, 2007, 07:24:54 AM&lt;/B&gt; &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;Intimate little bash. It was good!&amp;nbsp; ;)&lt;BR&gt;We arrived late,&lt;br /&gt;   right at midnight, in the middle of the toast. Missed the&lt;br /&gt;   drumming..&amp;nbsp; :(&amp;nbsp; Was that part of the lineup or just&lt;br /&gt;   random people off the street?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Really enjoyed all the music,&lt;br /&gt;   particularly Kt's set.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Scott and Igor's tunes in the&lt;br /&gt;   morning were groovin' too.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Special thanks:&lt;BR&gt;Mike for&lt;br /&gt;   playing jungle and downtempo records.&lt;BR&gt;Roboto for the&lt;br /&gt;   flashlight. It was good to meet you and Carrie.&lt;BR&gt;Jef and Deb for&lt;br /&gt;   bringing deco and pillows.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Congrats to Trippy and&lt;br /&gt;   Upwinger.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;My first time at Dulcenea... It really needs some&lt;br /&gt;   couches and comfy chairs. Otherwise, it's a cool little&lt;br /&gt;   spot.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Happy New Gregorian Temporal Control System Number&lt;br /&gt;   2007, y'all!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR SIZE=1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;Title: &lt;B&gt;Re: NYE BASH!!!!!!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Post by: &lt;B&gt;varun&lt;/B&gt; on&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;B&gt;January 04, 2007, 11:08:22 AM&lt;/B&gt; &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;Fun time!&amp;nbsp; ;D&lt;BR&gt;The drumming was awesome! It would be&lt;br /&gt;   cool if someone integrated that sound into their sets. Some Goa&lt;br /&gt;   with live drums... aaaa! :)&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Alll the DJs were great...&lt;br /&gt;   although the lineup lacked the progression of sound. The chill&lt;br /&gt;   opener was awesome but it was all full-on/proggy after that save a&lt;br /&gt;   few tracks by Scott &amp;amp; Igor. Hard to keep energy levels going&lt;br /&gt;   when the music gets more agressive towards the end. Should be the&lt;br /&gt;   other way round no?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;My first time at Dulcenea too. Very&lt;br /&gt;   nice place! Nice meeting everyone again... cant wait to stomp it&lt;br /&gt;   out outdoors...soooon. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Boom&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR SIZE=1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;Title: &lt;B&gt;Re: NYE BASH!!!!!!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Post by: &lt;B&gt;paradigm&lt;/B&gt; on&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;B&gt;January 04, 2007, 04:06:07 PM&lt;/B&gt; &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;Varun, to answer your question / comment musically it was&lt;br /&gt;   supposed to be kept on the lighter side things for the eve. We&lt;br /&gt;   were asked of that specifically&lt;BR&gt;It was envisiond the KT and I&lt;br /&gt;   would be the hardest of the night, which i have to say is how it&lt;br /&gt;   worked out. Her a bit harder, myself a bit more epic. I wouldnt&lt;br /&gt;   say there was any progressive in the mix at all, except for the&lt;br /&gt;   last tracks from Sot n Kaiser as things were being broken down&lt;BR&gt;For&lt;br /&gt;   the djs in the lineup and the proposed blueprint id say it worked&lt;br /&gt;   as it should, maybe have switched the closing duo with Derby,so&lt;br /&gt;   they could have played a bit more of their typical style but in&lt;br /&gt;   the end I thouhgt Derby did a wonderful job of bringing things in&lt;br /&gt;   and getting the floor going at midnight&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;all that topic&lt;br /&gt;   aside it was a nice New years eve. Perhaps a bit on the mellow&lt;br /&gt;   side of things but nothing wrong with that if everyone is having a&lt;br /&gt;   good time and enjoying themselves. The deco was really nicely&lt;br /&gt;   done, and ive got to say that Dulcena seems like a good fit for&lt;br /&gt;   the community. The snacks half way thru the night were also a nice&lt;br /&gt;   touch.....&lt;BR&gt;Lastly congrats to the new couple, It was a honor to&lt;br /&gt;   allow you to make your announcement during my set&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR SIZE=1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;Title: &lt;B&gt;Re: NYE BASH!!!!!!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Post by: &lt;B&gt;varun&lt;/B&gt; on&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;B&gt;January 04, 2007, 06:17:11 PM&lt;/B&gt; &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;HR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,1942.msg16482.html#msg16482"&gt;Quote&lt;br /&gt;   from: paradigm on January 04, 2007, 04:06:07 PM&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;P&gt;...musically it was supposed to be kept on the lighter side&lt;br /&gt;   things for the eve.

His ending tracks were just simply unbelievable. One of the best set I have heard at that time and on top of that perfect mixing. It was fun to listen to Facehead. Very different from any dark sets I have heard in sometime. Will be fun to seem him next week in Iowa (too bad I wont be there). Primordial Ooze as usual oozing some super music. Then the morning sets of Professor X, Derby, KT were all good and I thoroghly enjoyed taking off my shirt and shoes and dance on the grass. What a way to bring in the summer :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ooooh ya...Gemini is next!&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;The Fixer&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 20, 2007, 10:09:42 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Agreed one of best parties ever, but I add what I told Damon there - for me to make this the most favoritest party FIVE STARS it would have to have a dedicated chill space. Without dedicated chill I must therefore give this 4 stars. Otherwise the mix of people, weather, flawless sets and total beauty would bring this close to a 5 star party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damon check the poll now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Way more detail coming after my derailed and deranged brain sleeps for at least one full night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry Damon about my obsession with you and the Chillumafia T-shirt leading to the stalking incident at the gas station. Please Damon have the judge remove the restraining order. I will take down all the Chillumafia Altar in my room and promise never to touch Ola's ass again, I swear, or at least not in the same way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;;D&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;damon&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 20, 2007, 11:10:43 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;I'm selfish chill whore so I'd sacrifice dedicated chillout space for having a chance to play and listen to ambient on such amazing soundsystem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tyler you rule!  ;D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;underfoot&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 09:52:50 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;masondixon&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 01:51:12 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;best stage setup ever!~&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;HARDKORNATE&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 02:12:58 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Totally awesome. Chill stage unnesesary as the land probably wouldn't have killed any sound bleeding and those speakers were so badass even a hill wouldn't have helped much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deco was AWESOME. We loved the stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad none of ya joined us at the white trash bar afterwards. We all ate and got super drunk for $30 :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KT and the Ooze get my votes for favorites of the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Video was best ever, too.

All the sets were great, but Facehead's and KT's were probably my favorites.  Anyone know what her opening track was?  It had jazzy piano in it.  I was surely quite impressed by Meta's set also, but I think it was a little too early for it or something.  Either that, or I was just too blown away to actually dance for any long period of time.  I just had to stand and listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Tyler, Jeff, and Deb for all the great organization, and for the deco people.  It looked like a little alien world amongst the vast natural landscape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was thinking of giving shout outs to a bunch of people that I had fun talking to, but there were far too many and I love you all.  For some of you, I'll see you next weekend in Iowa.  For everyone else, see you at Earthdance!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;damon&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 04:37:40 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18818.html#msg18818"&gt;Quote from: HARDKORNATE on May 21, 2007, 03:46:13 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What kind of wanker would walk all the way up there to be lazy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't chillout only stage.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;Jeffz&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 06:15:25 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Great job everything!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is actually my favorite format for a party (almost) start out with ambient soundscapes, move to slow  breaks, pump in some progressive into fullon then dark twilight..would have loved more slow bpm morning to blend down into the chill for my perfect night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a party this size I think it's great to have one stage. Everyone had fabulous sets!  I especially enjoyed Meta's, I liked Facehead's very much also , took a bit of a power nap to it and had some nice dreams :D&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;statenumber7&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 07:28:33 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Wooooowwwwowo.........what a fantastic party to start the outdoor seaon. Another blaster by Chilluminati.... ;D ;D ;D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a very very sweet expeirence...........loved the stage deco and the chill startup on those wonderful speakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was great to see all u guys in shorts, no footwear...etc. Loved the sunset and rise. Everyones set was very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venue just rocks.........and the best thing........not even a single flea or bug...... 8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thnx to all the organizers who work with so much spirit. The VJ's did a great job...........mind blowing visuals. Almost flash backed to SEOA............ :P Thnx Varun Shai n Mat for bringing Psytan back. Thnx Damon for the shirt. Safi boy will make sure he does his work from now on.........good quality only....... :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cant wait to do this again in Sep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry that I had to leave without saying bye. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boom Shankar!!!&lt;br /&gt;NaveeN&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;The Fixer&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 08:22:55 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18819.html#msg18819"&gt;Quote from: KaiserSoze on May 21, 2007, 03:52:03 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;I think by not spreading the crowd out with two stages it improved the vibe and unity of this party. If we had a hundred more people 2 stages would have been in order. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was one of those mainly-stomp parties and I am 100% for that but I know that some people other than me were unhappy that it was mostly stomp and that there was no chill alternative. I know that 1 stage is going to happen from time to time but I think one of the things people have said about Chilluminati is we put alot into respecting the chill space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not criticizing the party but my 100% endorsement will always be for parties with a dedicated (if only very small) chill space. Like Gaian Mind. Tho I am aware that 2 spaces make for more work and additional cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is cool to do one stage occasionally if only because it was so much easier and as already said, it did create nice unity of the party.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;Robyo&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 08:24:34 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Kickass venue. Great vibe. Not enough people...&lt;br /&gt;Definitely helps to unify by having one stage. It IS better to have two stages, especially as a late night alternative to the hard/dark, but I can see how the low numbers (less than 200?) don't really warrant a 2nd stage. The progression of music was excellent, tho. It was only a one-nighter, so letting music play into the afternoon was a nice touch. Maybe it would be cool to try a complete 24 hour cycle next time...&lt;br /&gt;Like any good experience, I like to come away from a party learning something new. From now on, I approach every new mixer as if the crossfader is turned off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Scott &amp; Igor, for the cd. I'm jamming Digital Drugs right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have bootlegs of Shai &amp;amp; Varun's set if anyone is interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;damon&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 08:28:21 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18827.html#msg18827"&gt;Quote from: The Fixer on May 21, 2007, 08:22:55 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was one of those mainly-stomp parties and I am 100% for that but I know that some people other than me were unhappy that it was mostly stomp and that there was no chill alternative.

Tho I am aware that 2 spaces make for more work and additional cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is cool to do one stage occasionally if only because it was so much easier and as already said, it did create nice unity of the party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[hint]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let SMALL renegade soundsystem in and you'll have an alternative&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[/hint]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;damon&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 08:29:04 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18828.html#msg18828"&gt;Quote from: Robyo on May 21, 2007, 08:24:34 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like any good experience, I like to come away from a party learning something new.

Another blaster by Chilluminati.... ;D ;D ;D&lt;br /&gt;Had a very very sweet expeirence...........loved the stage deco ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sooooooooooooooooo glad to hear that people enjoyed the deco. I was sort of afraid that ppl would think it looked cheap, the stuff that Carli and I brought to hang was pretty much just wire, string, and a few tapestries :) We were only asked to help out with deco a few days prior to the event and it was already an extremely busy week for us. A lot of the stuff that we hung was originally created for the chill room at Resonate 2.0, another event that we were asked to work just a few days in advance. I would have liked to create some original artwork created specifically for this event... oh well... maybe next time... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who don't know me... my name is Derek, my partner is Carli. We've been a part of the Rendezvous crew (http://www.myspace.com/rendezvouscrew) for a few months now.  It was definitely intimidating for me to participate in an event like this one with such incredible artists involved. The deco that I've seen Psymbolic do is just so amazing I felt dwarfed, hehe. How can one expect to be on the same level as those who have decorated for Infected Mushroom, Astral Projection, Bluetech.... the list goes on. I guess you're always more critical of your own work than other people are. We did the best we could with what we had to work with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much thanks to everyone who helped with setting up and providing the deco on the main stage. Jeff for providing the lights, Paul and co, the two redheads from central IL who I can't remember your names, and anyone else that I missed. I never ended up meeting this Allison who was supposed to be coordinating the deco effort, perhaps we'll cross paths sometime in the future. Heard she had to work... such a shame. I took plenty of photos of us setting up and after dark, I'll be posting the best ones on my myspace and tribe pages tonight or tomorrow for everyone to enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the event itself...&lt;br /&gt;The venue was great. Personally, I thought that Meta was fucking amazing. He spins the exact same style of psy that I do... I'd never really heard a set like that. It gave me so many ideas that I went home and spent 4 or 5 hours on my decks even though I had zero sleep on Saturday night. I've never been keen on the darker stuff but I thought that Facehead was incredible as well. My brain was pulverized into jelly, lol. The sound was also amazing... I came to a realization that I truly didn't understand how my own tracks would sound when played out on a big system... psy just has so many layers, so many timbres. At least now I've got some concept of how the different sounds will play out. The live video was unbelievable as well, I really appreciate living in a city wish such a vibrant motion graphic scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all Secret Fire III was an amazing experience for me. I met many great people... and I'm sure there were 4 times as many amazing people that I didn't get the chance to meet. I can't wait to participate in future events. See you all around!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Energon&lt;br /&gt;http://people.tribe.net/d-wrex&lt;br /&gt;http://www.myspace.com/energon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;The Fixer&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 09:48:48 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18829.html#msg18829"&gt;Quote from: damon on May 21, 2007, 08:28:21 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let SMALL renegade soundsystem in and you'll have an alternative&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what you're talking about and that's a great idea.

This was at like... 10am when this girl (sorry I don't know your name!!) was spinning some really dark, hard stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would have definitely been nice to transition to chill at daybreak. I could have easily drifted off to a peaceful slumber listening to Shai and Varun's set if they'd played it at 7am. :) As it was I was just laying in my tent quite awake. I would like a link to the bootleg of that if you've got it... or any other bootlegs that were recorded that night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I forgot to mention in my previous post was the lack of a shade structure / rain fly for the DJ booth.&lt;br /&gt;If it had rained there would have been problems... as it was those who spun in the morning were subjected to the full heat of the midwest summer sun.

I love chill out much more than trance but I'd rather see one stage with exactly the same music progression like we had last weekend and a lot of people in your sight all the time than 2 separate empty areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;Quote&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I forgot to mention in my previous post was the lack of a shade structure / rain fly for the DJ booth.&lt;br /&gt;If it had rained there would have been problems... as it was those who spun in the morning were subjected to the full heat of the midwest summer sun.

Clear sky's and lazyness I suppose..&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard KT was playing harder than she planned because those who were dancing stopped when she started played lighter music. Much to the joy of some and the chagrin of others.. You can't make everyone happy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having "Renegade" sound systems are not an option. We will always come back to the spreading the crowd too thin problem with having too many stages. Plus having a happy hardcore tent suddenly appear out of nowhere is not something we want.

Maybe limitations will be set with say a post 3  or 4 am start at smaller events to help maintain the mainfloor vibe. This will give people the choice towards the end of party to relax and sleep or still rock out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many options.. not enough parties to try ideas out at...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;The Fixer&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 11:53:36 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18842.html#msg18842"&gt;Quote from: Energon on May 21, 2007, 10:09:05 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;I was talking with an older gentleman named Bruce that I had met there.

People who are marginal or who have given up on the harder music aren't bothering to read or respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think if you know you're only going to get 100 people or so, you should do either a straight Goa event with progression, or a chill event because it's true, 2 stages are too much for that number of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OTOH the 300-600 parties - the rural weekenders and the chicago warehouse parties - those you can have separate spaces without sacrificing the feel of the event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the 1 stage people and the 2 stage people are both right - for their size event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fans have a role too - if events get larger we can do more within budget, and we will have more people to make it happen. Numbers attending dictate much of what can happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chill is more than a style of music - it's also a separate space with a different vibe and deco, and an altar, and an attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again though I thought Secret Fire 3 was great but now we have enough experience with events we can start seeing that not all of them should evolve the same way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;The Fixer&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 21, 2007, 11:55:46 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18813.html#msg18813"&gt;Quote from: masondixon on May 21, 2007, 01:51:12 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;best stage setup ever!~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah that = SCAFFOLDING.

Meta blew my head apart and Facehead played some of the best and most interesting dark psy I've heard, twisted goblin music instead of the usual noisy skreechy stuff.  I have yet to hear some real, old goa played live but I would give my left nut for it. Fixer, you took a peek at my art in the trunk of my car, I'm starting on some UV deco tomorrow... see you all soon...&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;Scatter&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 22, 2007, 03:08:23 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18837.html#msg18837"&gt;Quote from: Agent Hurt on May 21, 2007, 09:11:40 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;facehead - holy fuckenheimers!  i was rockin out to this kid hard...and then someone mentioned to me, i believe it was phil, "look at him...he hasnt moved a muscle the last hour.  the only facial expression he's made the whole time he's been playing has been a slight smirk just before some madness is unleashed upon us.  he looks like he lives in his mom's basement and concocts ways to torture and murder people."  i cant wait to see him again in less than a week in iowa.  hell i cant wait to talk to this guy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, it was Adam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;Quote&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;I heard KT was playing harder than she planned because those who were dancing stopped when she started played lighter music. Much to the joy of some and the chagrin of others.. You can't make everyone happy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I loved pretty much all of her set, and tried to dance at different points.  It was beyond the music's capabilities though.  I was just too f'in tired.  So unfortunate...if I would have had the energy, the music she played could have most certainly been soooooo fun to dance to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;Quote&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;It would have definitely been nice to transition to chill at daybreak. I could have easily drifted off to a peaceful slumber listening to Shai and Varun's set if they'd played it at 7am.  As it was I was just laying in my tent quite awake. I would like a link to the bootleg of that if you've got it... or any other bootlegs that were recorded that night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, this is quite true.  I know all the psyowans and some others would say I'm not hardcore enough to keep dancing until 10 or longer in the morning, but by the time 7 hit, I was definately wanting chill...badly.  I love it just as much as trance at the right times, and at this party it seems to have came both too early and too late. :-\  ...Though I may have once again overdid it a little bit.  Funny, I keep telling myself, if I just get a little sleep before the morning, everything would work out perfectly.  But everyone's sets are always so damn good and I don't want to miss out on anything.  A double-edged sword, me thinks. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;PookztA&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 22, 2007, 04:05:47 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;HOLY SHIT. WOW. AMAZING!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this party brought back Sacred Earth for me, as someone just stated! It was such a great feeling to dance on such solid ground, under such a clear and beautiful sky, with all the mind blowing deco and INSANE sound system that the Chilluminati provided at this one. what a GREAT EVENT! i felt so connected to everyone and especially the music :) i just posted pictures on facebook, let me know if this link works (it said public link), because if it doesnt i will upload them elsewhere in addition. wish i coulda taken more, but i was too busy stompin and rompin at the event. got to sit down and smoke, chat, chill, with many Psy friends from all over the midwest. what a great reunion and i hope there are more of these SOON!!!! YES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://iowa.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2155046&amp;l=273db&amp;amp;id=14802233&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PICTURES!&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;damon&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 22, 2007, 10:31:39 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;I totally forgot about Sun Ra.

There was this one party, "Campout," last fall that I'd estimate 300-500 people were at... but it felt empty. Why? Because they had 4 stages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how many of you made to any of the mindoutpsyde parties at Emerald City in Cedar Rapids. I think there were only about 150 ppl at Blacklight Forest and they had a psy room and a chill room. Since it was such a small space it didn't feel too empty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll keep my ideas flowing :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Energon&lt;br /&gt;www.myspace.com/energon&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;HARDKORNATE&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 22, 2007, 06:02:16 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Chill space shmill space.

That's exactly what I want. A really comfortable quieter place where you can talk and listen to chill music, no effort put into it necessarily. That would work at NCN.

With the amount of crowd we had, one stage was more then enough. With 50-60 more people, we would have required a chill stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I do have one gripe. Why did Meta start? Isnt he like more twilight early morning player? The music he played would have been perfect in the morning after primordial ooze.....but then you cannot make everybody happy.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;aktif&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 22, 2007, 10:07:03 PM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;My $0.02 about this one... 8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow  ;D ;D ;D, can be a word that is overly used in my rendition of just how much of a good time I indeed had.  I certainly did not expect to have as good as time as I did.  I don't know why, I guess its just that stuff has been so busy as of late I haven't been taking the time to enjoy the finer things.  But @ SF3 it seems that the finer things are all that I had the pleasure of enjoying.   :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all on the way there, Katy and I are crusin, "taking in the beautiful greenery of the area", when all of a sudden Katy slams on the brakes without saying a word.  "What is going on?"  I exclaimed with a puzzled look on my face.  Without a word she gets out and I figure she just saw a pile of cash on the rroad or something.  Nope, it was a turtle, just chillin in the middle of the road.   :o  So she goes, picks it up and it starts whizzing everywhere.  Off to the side of the road it went and off we went to have the time of our lives.  With our Karma banks filled thanks to my lil humanitarian.   8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the beautiful positive karma filled ride up we arrived at like 4 and set everything up by six.  I was astonished at how beautiful the deco looked and was even more pleased to see those two coloums of distruction ready to reap their sonic salvation upon all of us.  I can't believe how fucking cool it is to be more than a football field away from the speakers AND STILL GET STEREO SOUND!!!!!  By far the BEST of the BEST when it comes to speaker systems.  I talked to the sound guy and he said that if we put those on scaffolding next time we almost double the range of the stereo, imagine that!!!   ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The string art was so cool.  I absolutly am in love with string art, I think that it is so awsome.  And the placement of the art was dead on, it made for some Killargh pics.  I was blown away at how the nighttime stage looked, pure bliss.   ;D ;D ;D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say that the style that the music progressed throughout the night was amazing.  It really felt like a 3 day packed into one magic night and afternoon.  I personally loved META playing the slot he played.  I felt that there was a great progression of sound from him.  And definetly some of the freshest sounding stuff out there, awsome bass and killer percussion.  I really loved the set.  Next was Facehead who had some mystery behind him, because I couldn't find him and chat with him before he played.  But OH MAN DID THIS GUY ROCK.  The shit was just up my alley.  Stompers Delight type shit.  I think China sent a noise complaint for me stompin too hard.  I love the stuff with dense basslines and percussion that sticks out as if it is played louder, nutty music for an even nuttyer experience.  It was so much fun to dance to that stuff, I always want to go and dance when I play my stuff and his music put me in the same psychosis I fall into when playing my shit.  WOO HOO.   :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The OOZE are killin it harder and harder with every time that I see em.  I mean their music is unbelieveble.  I loved every single track that you guys played.  I heard nothing but amazing things from you guys and I expect nothing less every time I see you.  Theres nothing like REALLY grinding it out throughtout the night and getting rescued from the darkness by morning blasters.  I loved all the morning stuff that was played by Brad and Rob.  Ya'll really play some sick tracks.  It carried me into the morning like I was floating on psychedellic clouds.  KT I don't know what the hell people are talkin about, IT WAS NOT TO HARD!  I loved it.  I think that looking arouind and observing what the crowd needs is KEY.  And that was done right.  Just after I thought all I had in me was to drink beer and marinate my ears were AWAKENED once again.  Slammin set start to finish.  Way to keep  shit slammin and keep people dancing.  Rock on sistah.  See you in CALI!!!   8) 8)  8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think after that I was pretty mush done for.  Sunburnt, a little drunk, and a lota something else (that SF3 vibe), I headed home.  Overall I would have to say that this was one of the best chillum parties by far, the vibe and people were incredible.  I brought 2 friends (Dakota and Greg) out to their FIRST all psy party and lets just say that you all will be seeing a LOT more of em and like wise.  We need to keep this vibe in the air and soon everyone will be smiling as hard as we all are.  I would like to thank everyone for the good conversation and kind words, you rock.   :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff, I was very happy that you found Gregs artwork interesting.  As he mentioned he started a UV piece and if his drawing is even a fragment of what he can do I think we may have just opened up pandoras box of UV deco.  This is going to be awsome.  Greg is bringing down a lot more of his artwork this Psunday for the Summah Sizzle.  We are going to create a psychedellic art mini-expo as a part of the deco in the indoor chill area.  I am so excited.   ;D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, excellent party.  Everyone who had their hands in the cookie jar on this one definetly deserves a BIG NAMASTE.  Thank you for this one, I really needed it and so did everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to see everyone at the MINDOUTPSYDE SUMMER SIZZLE FEAT. FACEHEAD this Psunday.

I didn't see or hear much of anything conciously, but I did wake up for a little of it.  The rest of it I'm sure helped my slumber.  Thank you.&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;acidity&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 23, 2007, 08:12:25 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;Too bad I was not able to listen to Varun and Shai. Had to go back coz my rides were leaving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding KT set, I think it was perfect. Playing RAIN by Azax....woooohoooooo....good job I say!&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;Robyo&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 23, 2007, 08:22:25 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18904.html#msg18904"&gt;Quote from: The Fixer on May 22, 2007, 07:31:42 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18889.html#msg18889"&gt;Quote from: damon on May 22, 2007, 05:03:54 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18887.html#msg18887"&gt;Quote from: The Fixer on May 22, 2007, 04:45:15 PM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;I think what Damon may have been hinting at is separate chill space run by chillumafia or some other amply qualified musical geniuses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I'm on minimal path right know:  really small soundsystem, shade structure, few UV lights, chairs, blankets and we have imho alternative for those who want to get lazy ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right on. That's exactly what I want. A really comfortable quieter place where you can talk and listen to chill music, no effort put into it necessarily. That would work at NCN. LOTS of people want that, especially with a longer event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a small sound system I could bring for renegade chillout. No generator, tho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought Chilluminati + NCN was a no-go this year...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;The Fixer&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 23, 2007, 08:42:53 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18916.html#msg18916"&gt;Quote from: Robyo on May 23, 2007, 08:22:25 AM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;I thought Chilluminati + NCN was a no-go this year...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There will be Chilluminati events at NCN.

Perfect kickoff for a very exiting summer!  ;D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big thanks to the Chilluminati for this event. Thanks to Trancepsyndicate for the dicovery of the venue and that sound! Oh the Sound! 100,000 watts of pure sonic nectar. Havnt heard an outdoor system with such range clarity. Gutwrenchingly loud but you could still have a chat with someone on the floor and hear every word! Thanks to the deco team... The sun tapestry on the left was wonderful! Stringart above the DJ was the perfect touch. Syddartha's artwork had me frozen in awe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was wonderful partying with the midwest family again... Cant wait for the next one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will be heading to Iowa with Damon for the weekend  ;D See y'all there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;more reviews @ http://forum.isratrance.com/viewtopic.php/topic/108555/forum/28/start/30&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;HARDKORNATE&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 23, 2007, 11:12:11 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18918.html#msg18918"&gt;Quote from: The Fixer on May 23, 2007, 08:42:53 AM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18916.html#msg18916"&gt;Quote from: Robyo on May 23, 2007, 08:22:25 AM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;I thought Chilluminati + NCN was a no-go this year...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There will be Chilluminati events at NCN.

Why did Meta start? Isnt he like more twilight early morning player? The music he played would have been perfect in the morning after primordial ooze.....but then you cannot make everybody happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I worked perfect for me: listened to stuff I like the most (Meta), catched a bit of Facehead and went to sleep :) Keep it that way in the future please  ;D&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;hr size="2" width="100%"&gt;      Title: &lt;b&gt;Re: Secret Fire 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Post by: &lt;b&gt;damon&lt;/b&gt; on &lt;b&gt;May 23, 2007, 11:26:28 AM&lt;/b&gt;      &lt;hr /&gt;      &lt;div style="margin: 0pt 5ex;"&gt;&lt;div class="quoteheader"&gt;&lt;a href="http://forum.chilluminati.org/index.php/topic,2219.msg18916.html#msg18916"&gt;Quote from: Robyo on May 23, 2007, 08:22:25 AM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="quote"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a small sound system I could bring for renegade chillout.

The jungle, house, techno, and trance posses have a vested interest in keeping us out. I think we'll make em look weak as hell when we show up with better spoeakers, better music, better deco, and better attitudes.
