It was good to meet you too. I tried to find you at 5am before I left, but I couldn't track you down. I hope you didn't have to drive right back to Pittsburg after the party, I would have offered a place to crash.
I'm sure we'll meet again in the future. |

Review from Ari D:
since this is not really a "consumer-oriented" list, I will sketch out a few
details for you from my perspective. To me it was damn perfect,
considering... but caveats aren't so important here.
musically, this was a pleasure + 1/2. happy to report me grinnin from 10pm
- close.  )
mubali is the man on so many levels! it's only a matter of time b/f he
really blows up big... no doubt at all. he wasn't as "overly extreme" as
some prognosticators predicted, and was certainly as on-point perfect and
then some. what a musician, what a great person... a personal thank you to
Greg! San Fran people, forget it man.
I think the sequence in the line up was just right, as Onnomon took over
next. My third time on their plain of existence revealed that bliss there
is unending and eternal. Many on this list know this to be true, but I'll
restate anyway... Onnomon is simply phenomenal!
These two smashing performances were supplemented by rawkin sets by Meghan,
SOT and Allen... making the main stage psychedelic experience a complete
one, from A - Z. As I mentioned, the line up was as righteous as they come,
and these sets relayed the story perfectly, like chapters in a book.
What was originally billed as an all chill room, quickly became an
unexpected add'l source of pride and happiness, as a 7K Wt. sound system was
being wheeled into a classroom-size room. The music in the second room
adjusted accordingly... a burst of "wake up and party" energy from Ari and
Uzi before midnight was followed by incredible old-school acid in form of
Boompsie's slow and chugging (for me, oh so nastalgic) set.
Incredibly, that was just the appetizer. The Paco de Bango crew then rolled
out two pool tables' worth of equipment. Roland 101 thru 909, with every
piece in between, were used along with a mountain of other knobby equipment
to pump out old-school acid the way Hardfloor used to, I mean A+ live stuff.
Came complete with a "Trance Sucks" t-shirt Just makes you wonder how
many little-known treasures does the mid-west really contain, and what
talent there is in home studios waiting to be discovered.
The room's final high note (they were all high notes for me) was brought on
by Don and Scott in the last few hours of the night. Chill out music on a
monstrous sound system is quite an experience, certainly compared to car and
home stereo listening. The soundscapes, the grooves and moods were
regulated perfectly by this duo, and were felt thru and thru by a steady,
appreciative audience. Overall, the 2nd room was a perfect retreat from the
mayhem of the main room.
Now that the music's out of the way, a few words about the deco crews. The
whole, "do it cause you love it" thing was on display that night, big things
and small. I think the pics will tell this story better, but I'll leave it
by saying that Ohio and many of the surrounding states have never
experienced this kind of detail before, it was a true transformation that
happened to the place. Butterflies were omnipresent, helping to create that
strong, positive vibe we all love very much.
I do want to get to what's also just as important, the people. This was a
first for me, seeing such a diverse crowd in Ohio, both in terms of age,
nationalities and interests. The event was attended well, and majority
stayed thru the last sound. There were trancers, punks, goths, ravers,
hippies, old people, young people, russians, chinese, indians, just
mid-westerners from all over; tho I don't quite know how to classify that
dude on rollerblades (just a clown?). Great vibe, I didn't know that it
could be so vibelicious.
A growing, sizeable portion was local too, and that's always a good thing.
Seems like there's quite a number of freaks w/in a couple hours drive of the
venue, and a lot of them were there that night. The night made me look
toward the future of psy events in this area even more positively, and I
can't quite explain what all that means for me personally, coming from there
and all... just real encouraging.
It may not be my place, but I'd like to publicly thank Luke here, the main
man of Goahead. A lot of people helped out, but all this could not be
reality without your dedication, vision and energy. Of course, kudos to all
involved... you are what makes a party worth going to.
Hearing rumors of more local psy events this summer, in addition to the
Cropcircles gathering. Not bad, Ohio!!
~ Ari

Wow.... A really really big thank you to Malachi and the Goahead crew for putting on an incredible show! The deco, visuals, sound and vibe were fucking amazing! The music was incredibly top notch and it was an honor and a privelege to play on the same stage as all those talented djs and artists! Onnomon set was incredibly amazing and one of the better live sets I have heard in my lifetime! He needs to come play on the West Coast!
I had such a blast out there, I almost didn't wanna come home! This is just another big step in Uniting the States. One Dancefloor, under Trance!

Thanks to all who came out on Saturday!!  The turnout was decent, but I still would’ve liked to have seen about 50 more peeps. I had a really good time, but I only stayed until about 3:45 being pregnant and all. Wish I could’ve stayed longer, but I needed to get home and get some much needed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s.  It was great to meet you in person, doku!! Don't think I got to meet s0ft. 
All the music that I heard I really enjoyed. One of the highlights for me was when Mubali was playing live, and played his track that had some breakbeats/drum & bass in it!!!!! Got to hear only part of Onnomon’s set, but what I heard, I really enjoyed. That was the 4th time I’ve seen them perform, and I’ve never heard a set that I didn’t like. 
A friend of mine who is a drum & bass DJ (Nick aka DJ N:Coder) and also whom I graduated high school with was there, and the BDR was the first event of ours that he’s been to. He was just completely amazed at the vibe our party had, and can’t wait until our next event. He said that it was the best event he’s been to in years. He was also blown away by Mubali’s set!!!

Hey everyone!
I would like to thank the Cleveland crew, and especially Luke, for letting the Philadelphia crew play on the Columbus crew's sound. Everyone sounded great! Mubali did a fantastic set, powerfully focused clean sonic energy beams he did project. Those beams destroyed what was left of the Castille Muerte de la Erie, in my stomach (greg and allen know what i'm talking about). The Mubali man's got lots of good future, keep it coming. I was so happy to see lots of shining faces all the way to the end. Luke Malachi's energy and enthusiasm is totally heartwarming. Nice to see Meghan again too, good luck on your upcoming "birthday"!
damn those food portions are big in Cleveland!
peace,
dean

I have been trying to come up with a
proper review for the last two days...
I'll just say thanks again to everyone!
It really just all about people comming
into depressed ass Lorain Ohio and adding
some life for a minute, and showing alot
of people for the first time, how it could be. So,thanks to all of the Shamans and
Artists. It was my honor to be with you all!
There were alot of great highlights for
me, but for me I think the best moment was
back at the hotel room with Mubali and
crew Smokin the rich man's herb and drinkin
the poor man's natty lite and getting
exposed to Mubali's collection of tunes.
See you all in July for Crop Circles.
I purchased my Gaian Mind Festival tix
yesterday. That was a good feeling!
Here are all the photo galleries so far.
