It's like Mother Nature was upset with us or something! lol
I NEVER thought their could be more rain then what I saw in Texas the week prior to this weekend....I was wrong.
Killer vibe, Thanks to the few hundred peeps that were trippin out to my set Fried Day Night. My headphones quit working half way through my set, and thanks to Mubali for saving the second half of my set. It was fun getting to play heavier music on Friday. Seemed pretty well balanced with the stuff that was being played Saturday night.
Great times, great party, great people!! Let's do it again.
LOL @ Aquanox!

i had a great time at the festival.
missed out electrypnose's chill sets, but caught his morning and night sets - and damn that guy has some raw talent.
earworm's live set was hardcore, mind bouncing fun, even with that small minute or so of silence in the middle
also enjoyed electric's set - was awesome to hear the likes of headroom, and dirty motion 
as for any complaints - the water was just too much. it was like man vs nature the dance floor looked like the ring for a royal rumble mud fight ahahahah
all in all though - awesome event and look forward to the next one
big up to the touch samadhi crew as always 
cheers!

Absafanfuckingtastic weekend. The rain kept going for an almost comical amount of time but didn't bother me thanks to the hard work and preparation of every one involved, thank you so much.
The rain actually worked in my favor as I only brought foolish shoes and my feet began to hurt just before Electrypnoses set saturday night.....but which was right about the time the dance floor became a mud pit. The deeper and slushier the mud got the less my feet hurt. It felt at a little serendipitous on my end 
I am really pressed to think of how the rain could of effectively bothered me any less.
Other then it severely cut my desire to travel to the other stages so sadly all the music i wanted to hear on any other stages was missed 
The music I did hear was forehead smackingly awesome from start to finish. Any set I saw at the main stage would of been difficult to leave even if it was rain free and had a magic carpet. Cinder kt and brainlizard made me throw away my plans to try and conserve any energy. Afterwhich Mubali and Primordial Ooze finished me off completely.
Saturday night was non stop amazing. The last hours were a totally plastered throw down. Lots of sillyness and shananigans, glad monkey joined us at the end to play some tunes with medisin since i didn't make it up very late the night before
Great times, no hassles or bad attitudes. 
I snagged CKs camera a few times to get pics. I'll post a link when she sends them to me

thanks Touch Samadhi for so much hard work and effort into this. I know that big tent was a pain to put up! Aquanox is def appropriate. Ive never seen so much rain in my life. Everyone stayed very positive though.
I def heard lots of great music this weekend. KT - always gets the night started proper, Cinder - great forest music, Mubali - loved the new bounce in your sound!, Primordial - really cool to hear your more melodic side, Draigosa & Klaws - super tripped out minimal and techno, Piltdown - you guys have really developed your sound very psychedelic, Earworm - very impressive clean sound, and especially Electrypnose! wow!! Earthdance is definitely in for a treat next week. those basslines were so smooth.
it was a blast hanging out with all the whole crew, i love the family we have here.
cant wait to do it again!

So far I have heard 'Aquanox', 'Soakquinox' and 'Mudquinox". All very appropriate!
Despite the rain I had a fantabulous time. Arrived late, on Sat eve and checked out the jam band for a bit on the Lake Stage, then caught the end of what I think was Pitdown Sound's finely crafted tunes at the second stage. Then Don DJ Nod played some chock full 'o' awesome dub/step as always. I went back to my car to grab my camera and passed out, but woke up to Mr. Dave Henshaw starting Sat night off proper with a smooth, shake your rump delicious as always proggy set. Wandered off awhile but later EarWorm caught me with his everything wonderful about psychedelic trance music, which blew my mind into a million pieces of beautiful fractalmented madness and then put it back together again in a brilliantly organized fashion. LOVE this man's music!
Fantastic festival. The circus tents were Touch Samadhi's work and great idea showing years of experience. I really appreciated the shelter, as well as all the hard work which went into making this experience. Thank you Touch Samadhi and hope to see you next year (if not before!) |

Oh ya, the sets that rocked me the hardest were Brain Lizzard, The guy before Earworm, and The end of the ooze. Everything else was only a 9/10

I thought the Touch Samadhi crew did a wonder-full job with the place and with the very moist conditions. Even with a 12 hr ride from Philly I didn't feel that exhausted until the monsoon came. It was a great joy having the Magic Hookah Lounge at the 2nd stage and meeting all you crazy and beautifull people. I just wish I could have had some opportunity to do some shiatsu massages. Electrypnose was such treat to stomp to. When I got into psytrance 3 years ago I started listening to him and just missed him at the GMSF'06, so I was overly excited to have this opportunity to see live for this showdown. The dubstep at the 2nd stage was nasty and wicked. Kalapas made me shake my rump till I realize Electrypnose was one. Aerosis, BSM, Electrik, Iduna, Earworm, and Nod where my highlights but there would been more if I didn't stay in my tent during the monsoon. I hope to some you Ashevillians up in Philly or New York this fall and winter. Best of luck to you all!

I really enjoyed myself this weekend. I had some hard times with the weather and head spaces but the beautiful vibe pulled me though.
I have a question about the DJs Saturday night, I want to get who I saw when straight, there was a DJ with long hair and a cool vest with pointy things on the shoulder, his music really blew up my mood when I was on a bummer...was this earworm?
Was the guy that followed him with the sick sounds and beats Electrypnose, he DJed from a mac that went out for a minute and had short hair.
Love to the whole community for making such a beautiful event.
Many thanks to the Touch crew who always do it with such class and style.
Don's dubstep set on the second stage was epic! what a great vibe!
peace

The Dj with the hair was Elektrik (Kiernan) from New York. Then the guy with the mac was Earworm, and after him was Electrypnose...
