Desiderata was great! I had a lot of fun, and didn't miss much being camped out NEXT to the main stage. That was a little much while trying to sleep. The music was kickin, but the stage organization was a little off kilter. I was told I'd have to fill Reality Engine's slot and my own, but I ended up getting cut short of an hour by some dude who wasn't even on the bill and immediately stared playing dark psy WAAAY too early. That was obnoxious, but I wasn't about to get in a fight with the guy on stage. So, that was extremely frustrating due to the amount of prep I put into getting ready for this festival. However, Rinse, Repeat.'s set went down pretty smoothly, although we were cut short also. Oh, and the dude who jumped on the stage and punched my guitarist in the neck. Obviously couldn't handle his drugs properly. Should have been kicked out, but wasn't. ASide from that crap, it was a great time and Ajja kicked ass!!

@Moonclear
You're still tripping lady. And BTW, handing out flyers about "eastern european hydraulic trance mass murder cults" to tripping people is the most messed up thing you could ever do. Also, it's insane.

PHEWW!!! okay this is my official post for this party. first off i can say that im still tranced out from the whole experience. came in thurs late night, and first thing, the loc. was HUGE! the uncomfortable part was camping next to so many foul mouthed loud raver kids cursing at us for drumming at our camp site. last time i checked, it was a MUSIC festival!  its not all about the molly and lights!
i noticed the lack of deco on the main dance floor, but the great line-up covered for it. anyway, came into primordial ooze's set. already got the place jumping. followed by bodhi & PROGRESS's great set. i was expecting earworm's set but didnt see him.
friday night was a crzy turnout for infected mushroom's set, though i wasnt into it that much. i dont know what kind of set crystal method was playing, but wow that was a turn off.
i couldnt wait for transdriver's set to start off and waited till 7 in the morning while he was supposed to start at 4. the wait was sweet cause his set was the best set up to date. that man has skillsss!!!  its good to hear my fav. re-cracker track bouncing the packed dance floor syncing everyone to his sounds, FU*KIN WOOWWWWWWWWW !!! 
i also liked onkel donkel and mexican trance mafia's set. i regret to say i overslept to ajja's set and cursed myself, how was he btw? since there was a few time and loc. changes in the line-up i was kind of confused on who was playing at some points. once again parus did their job rockin their set syncing with the visuals, im sure ive heard the track see u there... man, twin power! 
the anticipation to jellyheadz set was mind twisting! he is overwhelming! and omg melorix...playing welcome to hell in the morning, man i had to sit down i couldnt handle the beautiful madness. im not much of a morning/fullon type and i think rafael played, but i gotta hand it to him, he can def. get the floor shakin.
lastly compliments to transdriver's chill set, followed by a more uplifting ground shaking set, it was the cherry to my banana split.
all in all, i had a crzy sick time at the dance floor, the energy was sublime, and i cant wait for another reunion. thanks guys!

Psy Maniac, Ajja killed it. Absolutely killed it. My legs were wrecked from running around on that mountain all weekend, but I couldn't help but jump around for the duration of his set. Killer. Apparently a really nice guy too, I got to talk to him backstage briefly on sunday morning. Extremely friendly! Which was nice to see. Of course, also have to hand it to the Gaian Mind DJ's that turned up, Dave and Lauryn, Pat, and unfortunately due to ORG problems on the second stage, Melanie wasn't able to play her early morning set. Overall the music was really good! Although saturday night there was some terrible shouting over drum and bass music on the main stage. St8cyde Jump off I believe it was called. Poor taste.

Yeah this was absolutely awful and actually drove me off the main stage - too bad because the flow all day long was so good up to that point - if they were just quiet and let the DJ spin it would have been fine. The free jazz group and whatnot really set some nice tones. |

I actually used to go to see Drum and Bass Dj's back in the day, but this was bad. And these guys were camped next to us. They continually played music at their tent which was located DIRECTLY NEXT to the main stage. We had to continually shout and tell them to turn it down. Total lack of respect. Then we found out they were playing, so we made certain we weren't around for their set, although I did hear some of it as we were heading for the hills. It was literally shouting that you couldn't even understand. BUT, then Ajja came on and everything was perfect!! My highlight actually.

What a great festival!
I will start by the sound.
Oh! what a nice sound system!
I couldn't believe when I got there and saw this huge stage and for sure the best sound system at a festival on the east coast on both stages.
I was very, very impressed!
The balls that served for video screens were incredible.
On Thursday Primordial Ooze and Progress played very good sets, killer music.
Friday I had the most unexpected surprise. Changes on the line up had to be made and I was placed right after Infected Mushroom.
I had a very good time it was nice to see that huge crowd jumping and screaming with their hands in the air.
I was very impressed with the amount of people there.
I had the best time playing outdoors in NY ever.
Thank you for the opportunity Desiderata crew.
Transdriver was awesome. It was hard to decide what was better, his live set or the "chill" set on Sunday morning.
saturday, like billy boogie said, Ajja killed it. Omg, what a killer set. Onkel Dunkel, Cosmosis, Space Tribe and Mexican Trance Mafia rocked it .
I loved Cosmosise 's performance. He drove the crowd crazy with his guitar even playing some commercial tracks.
Animaltek simply killed it with some rocking tech house on sunday afternoon.
I like the idea of making this event an Eletronic music festival rather than just a trance music festival.
Multigenre may not please everyone but it will always bring new people.
It is a very smart and professional way to make this event turn into one of the biggest in NY.
The place had an spectacular view. It is a big and very well taken care of property.
Perfect layout for the stages.
For next one, I would like to suggest more bathrooms for two reasons:
They were not enough even with the service truck coming and next time there will be a lot more people.
Big thanks to Eli, Sergey, Micha, Mukti, and everyone who made this happen, cant wait to see what you guys are doing for the next

Wow! Awsome.
This festival was perfect.
Amazing location, smooth and clean camp ground.
Unbelievable sound system. That was a real surprise for me. I was very happy when I arrived. The first thing I saw was this beautiful stage loaded with visuals and sound. Really professional.
That is what a real festival is like.
I had a great time and enjoyed my stay.
I camped at the very end past the vendors and it was very nice chill spot.
I agree the portapottys were insufficient but I have seen much worse than that. I am sure improvements will be made next time.
Changes in the line up usually happens and that is understandable.
It gets confusing and that is a little upsetting for some people.
It would be nice to be able to see the name or logo of each act on the screen during their performance so that people dont loose track of what they are listening to.
That is really common in big events.
Way to go Desiderata crew. I will def be there next time.
