Hello friends,
Some of you may know me, some of you not. My name is Nick Synergy and I hail from a land called Arizona where we lay down the sick psytrance in the desert. I am with a group called Overmind Works (http://www.overmindworks.com) and we are based in central Arizona. Please feel free to immediately check out our website, download some mixes, check our event calendar, sign up for our mailing list, send us demos, give us verbal blowjobs, etc...
After a successful return from one of the greatest parties to have ever been thrown here on Planet Earth, in the good ole US of A, in the FINE state of California, I am left with some time to reflect and share some thoughts with you all. Symbiosis Gathering 06 (my own seperate review, with even more detail than this, to follow in the thread of the very same name) was without a doubt LEGENDARY. It was truly a successful execution of a peaceful public assembly protected by our very own United States Constitution (something that must be defended at all costs, but I'll get to that in a minute). It was a VERY expensive execution of such, and I suspect that the promoters may have been lucky to have retrieved HALF of what they spent (low to mid six figures would be my guess).
Goa Play, like John Hammond in Jurassic Park, SPARED NO EXPENSE to successfully bring us Simon Posford, X-Dream (in their collective entirety), Ott, Pitch Black, Aes Dana, Protoculture (very cool dude, BTW), Sun Control Species (another very cool dude), Pixel, Shpongle, and, as far as I know, ALL of the people promised on the lineup. Here, in our United States, they MADE IT HAPPEN. They created their (and OUR) own happiness, that's what they did.
And, as such, they gave me great happiness, and somewhere along the way, after a month and a half of being sick and miserable with a URI that antibiotics couldn't touch, I made it up there and started to feel better. And then an amazing thing happened, which was that my brain started working better than it ever has before. Reason and logic flowed out of it like fine wine, and my communication improved in a profound way. My word economy and ability to transmit my thoughts and feelings using language, smiles, and other devices improved by orders of magnitude - an effect which I hope will last past now, into next week, into next year, into the future - I am working on it. I haven't had much sleep, my brain is working wonderfully, and "the way I feel, I don't expect to go to sleep for a year, *I'm* on FUCKING FIRE!"
This has delivered me to the Global Trance Domination Project concept - something I hope many of you jump on board and run with. What it is is this - we turn the global trance scene into one big happy family, many of which know and talk to each other as rational human beings, and exchange ideas and values. One big happy family who make ourselves a FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH politically, technologically, financially, spiritually, and philosophically. A global family of doers, achievers, smart people who do good things in life and share them with others. Smart people who trade their talent and abilities for good money which they earn and spend in a manner of their choosing, even if it includes trekking all the way to northern California to celebrate with other trancers and to see skilled technicians such as Simon Posford rock VERY large sound systems (which some of these doers/achievers helped design and were on-hand to bear witness to) - systems which rock when only halfway enabled.
The Global Trance Domination Project is about individual rights and freedom - staple concepts of the United States of America which are being systematically abandoned over time, both here and in other countries. In fact, only a country such as Estonia is currently upholding some of the principles and systems inspired and instituted by this great USA of ours (and in doing so is living under constant threat from "Mother" Russia. Rational capitalism and free trade are being attacked and conceptually destroyed and replaced by an idea of business itself (rather than fascism, socialism, communism, collectivism, governments and unaccountably large corporations) being the cause of all man's problems/oppression. If anyone is going to quip to me about money being the root of all evil here, save it - money is a tool of exchange, a value exchanging system for the purpose of mutual exchange and mutual benefit, so you don't have to trade 3 camels for 4 horses or apples for oranges. If anyone thinks money is evil, ask yourself where money comes from and why is it really evil. Money and the hard work to earn it is what gives us the ability to do things like throw parties and pay Simon P $20K or however much it was he demanded (and deserved, despite his forgiveably English arrogance) to come and play for us. |

Now that I have all that out of the way, I am forming the Global Trance Domination Project. There will be a website. There will be services provided by myself and others to the global trance community. There will be spiritual, philosophical, and moral support provided to trancers worldwide who want to let loose and freely have fun without hurting anyone. There will be T-shirts, stickers, mix CDs, original recordings, a high-tech music studio available to down-to-earth and established trance artists who want to work with nice gear (for FREE), and a whole slew of other things made available to my friends in the global trance community. This you can all take to the bank. It will happen.
There will be a sharing of the Overmind Works concept of the Trance Trooper, which is an individual who goes to great lengths to make trance happen, to create it, to share it with people, to play it on the tops of mountains, etc. The Trance Trooper Hall of Fame will be created, and in it there will be listed fine individuals such as Paul from GoaPlay (a SUPER Trance Trooper), who spared NO expense in his Trance Trooper mission to bring us the finest trance available all under one starry/sunny roof. It may someday include fine individuals such as Simon Posford, who told me he doesn't listen to trance music (I neglected to inquire what genre of electronic music he had just played for us and whether he had in fact been listening to it while doing so). It will definitely include individuals such as Hahn the Barbarian (another SUPER Trance Trooper), karmavsDogma, and other Overmind Works members who trooped it all the way out to California to be a part of this, and who routinely troop it up in Arizona to bring this minimally trance-aware state some semblance of real trance. It will definitely include upstanding individuals such as DJ Paradigm, Treavor Moontribe, Protoculture, Dai, Kri, Manny, and other great DJs/artists who trek and gallavant all over the world to deliver trance (especially to Burning Man). There will be a Trance Trooper website and I will add a great many of you to its Hall of Fame list.
I want to know how many of you out there in the Isratrance community share my vision and wish to protect the freedoms of Dance, Trance, and Magic Plants which we have all enjoyed in our tenure on this planet. PLEASE provide me feedback, DJ demos, kind words, emails, business cards, mission statements, philosphical awareness, and other fine human values with which to inspire myself in the culmination of this mission. PLEASE reiterate how many of you are on board with Dr. Spook's, Takuan's, and MY vision of Cross Poly-Nation! I will create a signup sheet, if possible. YES! Let's make this happen! We can do it! As Winston of team Ghostbuster once said, "We have the tools, we have the TALENT!" "IT's MILLER TIME!" And, "THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE ASKS IF YOU ARE A GOD, YOU SAY YES!!!" In fact, "YES!" is the word of the day now and every day from here on out (in my book).
Can I get a "FUCKIN A" from some of you???? Can I hear some conviction, integrity, commitment, and an "AMEN" from some of the fine individuals I know in Green Sector, Psytribe, Moontribe, GoaPlay, Psybooty, and other parts of this fresh and funky trance community??? Can we build something real, protect it, and shut out tyrrany and oppression from reaching our beautiful global trance community? Can we get some work done? Can I get a FUCKIN' A????
Oh god, let's make this happen. Let's not let it go. Let's restore and protect freedom to dance, trance, etc in the United States, the Middle East (can I get some love for Israel, its trance community and this fine message board that lives within it?)
God, what a mouthful. Can I get some mouthfuls from you? Can I get some commitment and communication and achievement (and potentially a booking here or there, heh) from some of you????
Talk to me, will you? I'm in the book (the intarweb) - http://www.overmindworks.com
I hope to see some of you come visit us in Arizona. We are making great things happen here and offer our services and assistance to make things happen for a great many of you in the electronic music community. We will have plenty of events for you to attend and share in if you care to travel as far as we do to attend other folks' gatherings.
YES! Let us make it happen! Get thee down, be thou funky, and all that! I will deliver some personal, handwritten love to many of you in the coming weeks. I hope all of you are well and that you are living, achieving, breathing, and earning some serious cash with your mad skills to spend as you please on the things that you enjoy! I hope many of you have jobs that you love which earn you mad cash that you can spend on all things cool and FUN! YES!
I realize what I am calling for here may put me on some watch lists and brand me as some sort of terrorist. I may not be permitted to fly or travel internationally, for whatever arbitrary reason The Man may choose. I can live with that. Total Eclipse had a track called Psychedelic Terrorist, and they were pretty spot-on with that name/concept. I hope to meet those fine funky French dudes some day. At any rate, if any freak unfortunate accident should happen to me, I want you all to take what I say here to heart, to the bank and RUN WITH IT.
Hit me up, Y'all! Trance Team: ASSEMBLE!!!!
I say what I mean and I mean what I say. KNOW this about me, people! Like GE, I can bring good things to life (or light, I don't remember exactly)! YES!
Isratrance moderators - much love to you folks - please feel free to make this thread available to all forums on your wonderful site which I and many of us love very much. And, also, tell me why I had to split it because it was "Too Long - Forbidden?" Pretty please? 
That is all.
Sincerely,
Nick Synergy

Wow... Okay... 13 views of this page so far, and not one reply.
Does ANYONE out there want to help me SERIOUSLY engage the trance machine? I'm not high, crazy, OR STUPID on this one. |

Alright, well, I will handily concede anyone's right to apply a "Pipedream" or "Delusions of Grandeur" clause to this post, but I have an answer to that, too:

this is alot to understand maybe more would respond if you summed it up in less of a rant and more of a mission statement, however I did read the whole thing and I think you have a good idea but it needs to be organized for more people to participate if you ask for specifics I think people would be more inclined to jump on board such as "I need someone who can...? you know what I mean?
I may be confused at what you are saying... but maybe not if you want to email me and let me know more what you are talking about please do so im a visual artist/dj/producer so I may be of some value to your cause but im not quite sure yet if it is more of an idea or a plan.

All right, I'll bite. That's some mega-enthusiasm right there, and I wish you well with your efforts
A small reality check - trancers are big on ideas and generally poor at follow through. This results in widespread skepticism and an all-too-common hesitance to become involved in any new project before significant work has been undertaken, usually by an individual or small core. There are simply too many awesome concepts elaborated upon, dabbled with, and dropped without warning. One that comes to mind is another pan-American project - the Aum Festival - for which there was much hype and excitement whenever it was that it came about, but from looking around I see little has happened since someone dropped the whammy of an idea (but maybe I am wrong here). Now, this isn't an expression of my own apprehension so much as it is an explanation of why you may not be whipping up the kind of hysteria you may wish for there is also the sad fact that, in general, most people are too lazy to read very much - a problem I surely have, as I tend to write a lot myself.
As far as the actual concept goes... there are several aspects to this project of yours, and they are not without merit. Organizing (in the activist sense of the term) to protect the right to dance is a noble cause. Honouring those who go to extreme lengths to make the gatherings happen is also a nice thought. I feel as if there is an intrinsic flaw in your utopic "global family" concept, as people in trance are not liable to agree on much of anything. And that, I would say, is merely human nature. I suspect that any association on a grand scale will reveal that we are collectively more different than we are alike.
So, as I say, I wish you well... from my vantage point up here in the Great White North I have the perception that California, the American Southwest, and (to some extent, excepting all the stupid drama) New York are thriving hotbeds of high-level cultural mutation and change. North America is catching trance fever - a decade after the fact - and there is great potential for something fantastic to emerge from the steaming wreck of mass market pop culture. The personal level of commitment exhibited by members of the global movement remains commendable. With all this energy and activism applied towards bringing about a new age of Who Knows What, it will be interesting to watch.

This IS a mission statement, and it IS a rant. I can sum it up in less or MORE of a rant if you want. It DOES need to be organized. If you think more people would jump on board if I said I need someone who can _____________, then I offer this:
I need people who can organize, just like me! I need people who can think rationally and work with me! I need people who can DO! People who can be given a project, set forth, and effectively COMPLETE it! What I NEED are people of TALENT and ABILITY who can make TRANCE PARTIES happen. I have met and know MANY who are skilled in all the areas required, so I don't think anything like commitment or follow-through will be a problem. It's just a matter of rallying the Trance Troopers, which I am doing. |

Nick, you know I love enthusiasm and intense motivation but you are contradicting yourself when you want everyone to put all their efforts into trance (which is a bad idea in my opinion, as there are MANY more beneficial things for my time in this world than ultimate devotion to trance music) and then you tell another fellow human to "screw" the event they are deciding to attend because it's not the 'main event' as you see it. Everyone is seeking different experiences of all kinds and levels and degrees, and the fact that you're trying to "dominate" a trance or party viewpoint is overbearing and unwarranted. You had a great time and you're excited from it, but please, use the rationality you seek, and realize that there are many trancers who feel like you, and get revitalized from an amazing event each time, which is ultimately why they probably go. The key here is in your questions to yourself.... WILL this feeling you developed LAST? I truly would have given myself at LEAST a month of seeing whether or not the feeling is sustained with such magnitude and then *possibly* pump your enthusiasm into such a statement.
I'd also like to comment that anymore, when I see the word DOMINATION, I'm staying as far clear as possible. I don't want to dominate anyone or anything, and I sure don't want anything trying to dominate me other than nature, herself. When trance culture is trying to "dominate" it ultimately becomes the oppressing machine that reflects a government.
Domination, Troopers.... sounds like a war.
Peace,

I am familiar with mega-enthusiasm, reality checks (I give and expect them and encourage anyone to give me one here, as Quasga and yourself have so nobly done). I am someone who knows how to follow through, know this. I understand reluctance, hesitance, testing the waters and proving a concept before people jump on-board. I will elaborate on awesome concepts, dabble with, test, and have fun with them. Drop without warning - only if the concept is indeed proven invalid. "Nothing Lasts, But Nothing is Lost." I am not about hype - but results. I let other people do the hyping of my lineups so that people will accept the hype and give them a try.
Speaking of little happening on an idea, someone dropped a Team America: Trance Police (or "World Party" or something like that) concept here recently. I haven't seen much happen with it or seen Team America mobilized to get booked worldwide, but would like to express my desire to make something HAPPEN there. I have talents and abilities I can lend to the cause and I know other people who can, too. We can do it in Arizona if anyone wants to - we CAN do that. If I can't whip up the hysteria I want or get people to read much, well, that's not really my problem, but I'll do as much about it as my heart will allow.
I appreciate your middle paragraph here and thank you for it. You and I can wax poetic together on that sometime. The "global family" concept is not something I buy into heavily, either, so don't get me totally wrong here - by "global family" I mean community - a community which I wish to nourish. Even Tyler has made comparisons of the trance scene to a family - a community where people know each other and exchange values, ideas, and good vibes - healthy family sort of vibes. Doesn't mean we have to/can agree on anything (or should/will), or that we can't disagree or have different parties or do different things. We can be "collectively" more different than we are alike, but we can celebrate diversity and celebrate the things we do have in common. I wish to nurture it ALL, help it grow and be strong. That doesn't just mean the TRANCE scene, that means music and musical gatherings of all kinds and the power of ideas that they contain. I want to water it all like a flower. Does THAT make sense at all?
Thank you for wishing me well. The high-level cultural mutation and change and the thrivingness of it are something I want to participate in and lend creativity to. I would like to bring about a new age of who-knows-what, or more importantly, a age of "What new things can we achieve NOW?" The wreck of mass market pop culture will eventually be cleared.
That is all for the moment. Thank you for feedback! |

Well, if I am contradicting myself, please point out exactly where. I am not asking EVERYONE to put ALL their efforts into TRANCE music (and NOTHING else). I wouldn't ask SIMON to do that or anyone else. I am asking people to put their efforts into music, especially stuff that is trancendental and/or psychedelic in nature, espec. That can (and does) heavily include TRANCE music, CHILL music, HOUSE music, broken beat music, and the whole real gamut. I mainly refer to ELECTRONIC music, but I like analog, too. I would happily play a set of some QUALITY classic rock on a main stage instead of a jam band, but if the promoter wants to book a jam band to jam, I say everybody jam. My main purpose here is to protect and engage everyone's right to JAM, ROCK, DANCE, or just generally work it.
I SAID no offence when I told another person (who I would have liked to have met and partied with at Symbiosis) to "screw that," what I meant was spending dollars/time wisely. It's perfectly fine if the MOE people wanna have a Love Fest after party with Penta - they have the scene in NorCal to support it all, including that and Symbiosis at the same time. I would have liked to do something like, I dunno, dance to X-Dream with sir Penta in the house/on the floor with me and didn't get to, but that's OKAY! It's okay for people to have different parties going on and do different things and for San Francisco people to do whatever they want with thier time. It IS all OKAY! Maybe I'll get opportunities to meet and/or dance with all of the trancers/chillers/jammers/etc who went to Love Parade/Fest someday. Mr. Rogers was in San Francisco instead of Symbiosis, and I like the guy and hang with him, and respect his right to be somewhere else and my right to see him some other time. It really all is, and will be, OKAY!
The only thing overbearing or "unwarranted" I'm trying to achieve in respect to TRANCE DOMINATION really is to have seen you dancing next to Hank on the floor like a madman while X-Dream was playing and to see them totally DOMINATING you both! They dominated me! Arial (Ariel?) in her leather outfit certainly looked like a trance/electro dominatrix to me, familiar with things involving trance and domination.
The rationality I seek has been found, used, noted to see that there are yes, in fact many trancers who DO feel as I do (an exciting prospect - you being one of them). Will this feeling I've developed last? YES! I do think so! It's allowed me to get a lot of things done and express a LOT of ideas (and accept feedback and criticism from my peers) and to make a lot of inroads towards making a lot of things happen for yourself and other DJs/Artists - those things happening involving receiving more paying gigs around the country. YES! I can do this for you! I am working on it. The "Synergastic Feeling" you and others in the community have given me (most noteably Paul) WILL be sustained with magnitude and then I will pump my enthusiasm into MORE statements (though I will try to make them as non-contradictory as possible - feel free to criticize).
Okay, you can feel free to steer clear of the word "DOMINATE." I know that when I hear the next Androcell album, it will DOMINATE my ears and potentially my feet, springing them into motion, and I my soul will feel dominated by the beauty that is Androcell's music. It's certainly happened before. I will know the music was made by a real trance trooper who goes to great lengths to get what he wants.
The sort of TROOPERS and DOMINATION and WAR that I AM concerned with, however, is that of the sort of Nazi Stormtroopers in Utah who stormed that poor D&B party and threw a bunch of dancing kids to the ground, hurting and frightening (TERRORIZING) them.
And one further note about Trance Domination - Paul brought us Protoculture. He DOMINATED me - rocked it like no other. I am in debt to some folks for the domination that was brought to me. Your concern over the use of the term domination is purely contextual.
Are we clear on things, sir? Have I allayed any of your concerns? Is there anything I can PERSONALLY do to further allay any concerns? Anything I can personally do to make your studio time more productive in making whatever music you wish, such as loaning you all the new software and hardware I just bought for a month or more? I CAN do that, and I CAN do a lot of things for you, Protoculture, or any other artist I respect who might like to use some of my gear.
Much love, Tyler. You have my commitment to getting you some paying gigs that will further your goals and allow you to do what you want. It WILL happen. I promise. I'll make it all happen myself if I want - I really don't need much of anyone else's help, but certainly welcome it. Your art and your presence and your music and your personality were missing at this particular festival this year, but if they do it again next year, I will do everything in my power to make sure you are there and appreciated and maybe you can sell your art. Would you like me to extend efforts on my behalf to make things happen for you? I'd be delighted.
There's no war here - maybe just a war (or battle) of ideas and positive energy (Synergy) which I will happily continue on everyone's behalf. |

Now that I have a quiet moment here, I am going to add something else to this thread - here I would like to see posted inspirational movie/book/etc quotes, song lyrics, kind words, etc - I would like to see some folks from our community drop some science to inspire myself and other Trance Troopers out there.
I don't think we have to call this any sort of DOMINATION project, but I am purchasing a website called the Global Trance Network, and it will serve its purpose. I will have more food for thought here later for all of your benefit. |

And yes, I'd like to acknowledge to some people here that I have in fact been ranting. You will all receive coherent mission statements for my activities very soon. YES! It WILL happen! |

nick, i'm glad to hear you had an incredible time and awakening at symbiosis but i urge you to balance this sudden influx of inspired energy to better focus it on feasible goals rather than ecstatic dreams of global unity, or "trance domination" as you phrase it....while our overall scene does have a strong sense of family, it's composed of many many smaller groups with their own interests that often differ too much for real collaboration....the music has diversified in so many ways this last decade it's amazing all the genres are still called psytrance and brought together for events with artists as distant from each other as Infected Mushroom and Kindzadza....that shows organizers are indeed attempting to preserve and strengthen what community there is but by no means will everyone band around the rallying cry of one person or group....not to say you shouldn't share your dreams and build support to help manifest them, just realize you must earn the respect of others before they'll join a collective effort....that won't come by breathlessly declaring how wonderful they are or laying out a vague master plan of ideas and goals we've all heard before when you hardly explain how any of it will actually be accomplished....if you're not high then you certainly do a good impression of someone blissed out on pills who can't understand why everyone doesn't feel the same....try considering where other people are coming from and certainly don't dismiss their choices that don't agree with yours...
