and yes I do like girls, but that's not why I DJ. Strictly for the music man. If I was DJing for the girls, I would have quit 9 years ago.

Fun thread anyway. Whereabouts in the parking lot were people camped? We were about 2 rows from the "Happy Campers" drum circle and really close to the big-blue family jamband tent and drug emporium. |

Sorry, I gotta respond to this. If these people were anything but kind, courteous, friendly, humorous, conscious, human beings, then they were NOT Grateful Dead Family.
Please consider not perpetuating negative stereotypes about communities you aren't familiar with. There have always been plenty of dirt-bag pseudo-bohemians chasing after the fashion and lifestyle of the Dead and Rainbow but they, in no way, have ever represented the core that is Family. Labeling (or accepting the label placed on) the trash end as such does nothing but disrespect the very roots of modern psychedelic culture.
Sorry to get all serious and all, carry on. |

Agreed - I suppose I should have been clearer - they call themselves that. I realize and have been privy to both, but it is a moniker that I see attached to the types I described at many recent festivals. Its the kids with pitbulls and tons of (admittedly quality) drugs who listen to the music and the culture from the psychedelic forefathers.
Telling them otherwise will cause them to react with much hostility. Its fairly sad.
The real "family" people I have run into are nothing but awesome. |

The good review section.
Weather: pretty chilly on Friday nite, but the rest of the days the weather was just perfect. The light drizzle on Sunday afternoon couldn’t stop the stompers form going all crazy on the dance floor.
Music: I got there for the last 20 min of primordial’s set, now these guys have never failed to deliver a crazy ass set. I heard them @ OHIO, now in NY & I will be ending the festival season by hearing them again @ deerfields cant get enough of these guys. Bodhi – again hard core set, nice bass line, kept it very clean and psychedelic. Progress & luis played a good morning set.
Next day: IM & Crystal not much into it, so I missed their set. Ahh then the long wait from 4-7 for Transdriver. Now that crazy Russian dude tranced drove me into a one hell of a magical musical journey. His music was so clear cut. There were tracks with certain layers that twisted my mind, WHAT A FUCKING JOURNEY THAT GUY TOOK ME ON. Onkel Donkel played a very good set as usual. MTM played a good bouncy morning set. Transdriver-onkel-MTM around 4 hours of total madness.
I overslept and sadly missed the set of Lauryn & Eg-bot, YAB-YUM, Ajja, Gow. Shit that’s 3 awesome acts that I missed. Newayz got to the main stage in time for parus (thank you orgz for having parus play on the main stage). Parus kicked started the nite for me with some good nite time track selections; they prepared us for jelly-baba. Jellyheads played a very intense nite time set that splattered your brains all over the place. Their music was taking me and pounding me so hard that every time I tried to leave the dance floor to use the restroom, I just couldn’t get my self to leave the dance floor. Melorix- again a very intense musical experience. Space Tribe& Cosmosis not exactly my type of music, but I enjoyed listening & watch cosmosis perform.
Transdriver Chill set- was it chill? All I got to say is: that dude is crazy.
It was good to reconnect with old friends.
Had a good old time of cracking jokes, laughing till ur eyes start watering. There was some strong positive energy on the dance floor at certain time( mostly in the early morning hours when the floor was occupied by mainly trancers)
@ Orgz- I must say a BIG THANK YOU. You guys def did a grt job. Seriously guys how often do you come across orgz who actually care about what you have to say. Some points.
The orgz got bodhi to play.
Got parus to play on the Rata stage.
A first aid tent.
Having the original venue canceled a week before and still giving us a great time.
Gave me some discount, cauz I was flat broke.
overall music, location & organization ---KILLER.

The bad review
My bike got STOLEN. Well the cost of the bike doesn’t matter, but the reason I am fuckin upset is cauz I purchased that bike on Friday and it was a gift for my sister. I know is my fault that I shuld have been more carefull but again 6-7 yrs of psytrance festival and not one dime has been stolen from me.
Now the fuckers trying to sell K, MOLLY, and loads of shitty drugs got us all pissed off, we arrive and while we are setting up our tent till we packed up and left, there were assholes that were constantly bothering us. It’s actually the way they were selling it that bothered me, walking straight up into our tent, trying to start a conversation only with the intention of selling us drugs. It’s funny how they were selling 1 pill for 20 on Friday morning and by Sunday evening 2 for 25.
Our neighbors were a bunch of douche bags. One guy started cursing at us for playin the djembe and we were not loud at all. Those ravers kids were high on K all day & nite not once did I see them on the dance floor. I feel the only reason they came there was for the drugs. Often they used to fight among themselves. Now imagine you having a beautiful experience on transdrivers set and then you return to ur camp for a sandwich and all you hear around you is your neighbors fighting and cursing
This was my first mixed-genre party. I had never been to a rave bfor so I really dint know what king of people they are. Loud, foul mouthed, fucked up with drugs. Now maybe there are some clean ravers who r there for the music only but I dint c any of them.
I had a friend who came to a psy-event for the first time; it took me a while to convince him that this is not how psy festivals are. Some of the most beautiful people I know are found stomping on the dance floor in a real psy-fest. I have promised to take him to touch Samadhi where he can get to know some really amazing people and feel the awesome vibe.
The vibe was really awful. Some kids were so aggressive that often I thought that a fight would break out. I have decided that no more mixed-genre parties for me.

wow looked like fun times and nice place to party but also it looks like it could have been a great party with half of the line up they had on there or specific stages for different styles at least. from what I see maybe some better love could have been shown to the pioneer's like Olli Space Tribe. its sad for me to see IM with all the crowd dancing to such magical old school styles, then seeing vid's of Olli being messed with by the sound guys and having a fraction of the dance floor even acting into the music. I admire the will to make something bigger happen in the US, but having such a mix up of music on all over the different stages just seems like overstretching some peoples limits in taste and respect for true art. I've read from the raver forum sites and most of the ravers hate all the psy that was played. so why even invite that side of the community, if the have their own idea in what music should be played at festivals let them stay going to their own festivals. keep underground psy underground!! maybe there was over 1000 people there and thats great for a US party, but most of them were there for the Hype artist and not the Underground and that is sad that there was so little respect shown. onward to the future! kick up some dust!

very well said: if they hate psy and we don't exactly like their behavior they why mix it up and give them and us a bad experience.
keep underground psy underground. |

They all went to see UMelt, so really it was a clash of three communities - jam-band/bisco kids, rave/dnb kids, and psy-adults.

they identified themselves to me as family and they weren't very nice to us. I know exactly where they were. We ended up moving farther from them the first night, to a more chilled out area 20 feet away, near some pleasant people playing psytrance in a Eurovan! Thanks for the good tunes during the lonely day! 
Otherwise, I never have any disrespect for that type of music, or the "GDF". |
