Thanks to my coworker Aaron, I didn't miss out on a great trance event within driving distance from home, and oh boy was it a good lineup. I was complaining 10+ years ago that getting good trance in the US was nearly impossible, but things really have improved for the better in the last years, and we're getting more than one EDM festival a year with a good/great trance lineup (although it wasn't Beyond Wonderland last year, that one sucked Trance-wise, but Future Sounds of Egypt in San Jose was quite good).
Cannot argue with this logic :)
wise choice
straight, and to the point :)
Is EDM/Trance becoming a religion? :)
I went to see Trance, and I found Jesus
Just like I went to see EDM at Shoreline some months back, and found Jesus there
Jesus seemed to be a nice guy, maybe I've been unfair to him all these years :)
Kind of funny that I'm starting to run into the same people, which is not surprising, considering. It was actually quite cool that DJ Blurr spotted me in the dark the first night and recognized me from 15+ years ago when I started going to 1015 and then Ruby Skye.
Very cool to have DJ Blur recognize me in the crowd and say hi, he goes back to my 1015 days in early 2000's and Ruby Skye after that
it was nice to run into other blinky people :)
As for the event, it was a solid lineup. The room was a bit small, but the lighting was great, and the music was not stupidly loud to a point where all you could hear was the bass anymore (I'm looking at you FSOE SJ). Really this was about as good an event as it could have been.
Here's a 2H summary video of the best bits:
Here are pictures from Day #1 (Ram, Sean Tyas, Vini Vici, Jordan Suckley, Simon Patterson, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, and Markus Schulz):
