wow thank you Rich for the most amazing experience. I had the time of my life at my first west coast outdoor. it was awsome meeting everyone.
Aktif your set blew me away, I ended up being too shy to introduce myself to you...but you remind me so much of a close friend we have in our Atlanta crew, Keith. He is just getting into music production and I had visions of him in the future through your music. It was very heavy for me, the sense of time displacement. Thank you, you are truely a sonic commandar.
Andi, Kevin and everyone else I met...thank you so much for being YOU....Leslie you too, you rock. Dimitry, Megan....the list goes on. We truely are family.
love

I cant begin to start thinking of anything else other than this party. I can safely say that it was the best time of my life! the people were my favorite part, as the energy seemed almost unlimited and abundant. the scenery was breathtaking, which i think also had a part in why my jaw was on the ground the whole time.
the music was sensational... i cant begin to express who i liked the most.. a few that come to mind are Shotu, Konflux, Random, Primordial Ooze, Dai, Shapestatic, Aktif, and the two guys that played around noonish on sunday  everyone was amazing though. best constain flow of good beats ive been exposed to.
my only regret is falling asleep on sunday from about 9-12.. i dont even know how it happened and I heard the dancefloor was boomin. oh well, i guess ill just have to make up for it by putting it back on my places to visit soon!
thanks again to Rich. Seriously man, you are a genius and a kind soul. an inspiration to the worlwide psy scene.. its great to have people like you. people that give their all to make sure a party goes above and beyond the requirements, a party that carries enough energy to make one soar for a lifetime, and that can literally throw someone on a greater path all with just coming to one show, all because they are among friends and family even if only introduced for the first time and because they bring that vibe home with them. keep doing what your doing man
Ross, thanks for putting up with everyone. I know how it is to have to host artists and you do an excellent job of it. you are an extremely talented artist and event organizer and it shows. you as well need to keep doing what your doing
thanks to everyone that stayed at ross's; Shagee, Solomoon, Lauryn, Shotu, Kali, Vince, Cooper, Nick, Spook, Leslie, you all made it homely
perfect party!

Ok, so now I get a chance to write my review about Gemini. Did I say it before - it was definitely the best psy party of my life in last 5 years. Period.
Location, people, vibes, music - everything spot on. Looking at Wichdokta doing all kinds of heavy work even on Saturday morning was inspirational. I really wish that I have the same amount of energy like him when I grow up to his age.
Reached Belden town at around 10 on Friday evening after driving from SFO with OpenSourceCode and another friend. Parked our car and straight to the dance floor. Amazing decoration with the birds flying all around you. The tapestries were killer too.
Dont remember who was playing when I reached there but after that Collison started playing. Its always nice to see a fellow PsyOwns killing it in an prestigious event like Gemini. Really liked his last half an hour. After that I think FaceHead came up. After missing him in Iowa last month, I didnt want to miss him again this time. His set was as I expected - psychedelic. Very neat and impressive. After that I think Shotu came up. I was alternating between chill and main stage now and really dont remember any of the sets clearly. Even caught a short nap between 2-4 or sometime around. Missed Konflux at that time. Heard he played a banger. Hope to see him again soon. Highlight again started when Mulu came up in the morning. From then on, I think I saw one of the best mornings of my life. It seemed that mornings bring about a different set of creatures out in the middle. Have never seen such colorful people before. The music just got better with Jeto, Helios, Nick Synergy all blasting it one by one with their special morning music. Had so much fun that there are no words to express my joy and happiness. Went out to have a grub at around in the afternoon and when I came back DJ Kri and Billy were on the decks. Last heard the music was supposed to stop at afternoon but here I dont see any stoppage at all. The two people must have played for 4-5 hours and what a set. Banging hard and full on. Cant make out whether it was dark or morning or afternoon music but it was just bliss. Gwen and Professor X after them were fantastic too. Went to hear OpenSourceCode in the chill stage at 5. Listened to him and again went to sleep.
Got up again at the right time when Aktif from PsyOwa was playing. Missed all the evening sets including Random and Kali. I am still kicking myself for that but then my body required some rest. Aktif was killing it from moment go. People went to frenzy and it was nice to see everybody dancing their balls out to his set. After that, I think I heard the best dark psychedelic sounds from Ooze, Dai, Brains. Cant say who was better then whom as I think everybody were 100% spot on. I had the best night ever of my life in a psy party. Sound was so clean and the music - superbly intelligent. Made me think about how lucky I am that I listen to Psy and not any other kind of music. And then comes one of 4 female DJs in the morning. Pretty good sunrise. Meta killed it after her and then Lauryn was amzing. But for me the highlight was Saturnia. It was like BANG! I never expected morning too be so good. Reminded me of Goa again. I asked Aktif - "Who is she? Why we have never heard of her?". Truly, I was amazed by her music. Paradigm as usual was tight and superb. Christine was good too but it was time to pack our bags and go back to catch the flight. I should have kept my return flight tickets little later on so I could have enjoyed the music a little more.
Drive back was just remembrance of the best party of life. 10000% I am coming back tomorrow and this time I will book my tickets way before so that I get better rates then
I bow to thy WICHDOKTA. Surely, when you come to Iowa this time, I will be hosting you.

They were individually painted by Garrett / Dreamtime. He splits his time between Bali and San Francisco with many travels in between from which he gets his inspiration. He played a downtempo set Sunday morning, and you may have met him at his clothing booth across from the chill area.
If anyone is interested in getting his work for their events I can put you in touch.

I wanted to let the experience sink in a bit before I posted my review. It's been over a week now and I'm still getting used to dealing with these lower circuit realities again. But I can still tap into those higher circuits just by thinking about the amazing time I had at GEMINI last weekend! Truly an experience I will remember and cherish forever. We are so fortunate to be able to participate in this futuristic yet ancient ritual. Thank you, Wichdokta, for ministering to us and setting the stage for one out of this world event! And thanks to all the spectacular Audio Navigators for guiding us through hyperspace! |
