Just came back from my Annual Ritual of 604 visit last week.
604 is pretty much ON but can be a Drag at times!

Reached on a Thursday & heard from the promos & online info that the Ozora Teaser party was on the same evening at Shiva Valley called "One Day in GOA" (weekly Shiva Valley parties on Tues.) Heard that this was a special party with a good line-up which was undisclosed. Reached there by 5, much before sunset to avoid all the mad rush as the season too apparently is drawing to a close,,,
Anyways, Big speakers mounted on the steps at the entrance plus more surround sound than usual,just for the evening.looked promising,the stage was set for a party that would continue till morning around 7-8 or so i heard.
Waited till midnight, ate,smoked,drank,fooled around all this time without any music at all.
Finally,at 1a.m. lost all energy more than patience & headed home. no worries, it was my 1st evening,had just landed in the afternoon. peace.
(Highlight of the evening; took a selfie with Guiseppe! Yay!!lol)

Sunday afternoon the stage was set at this new place,never heard before in Morjim called "Bardo"
This party was a sundowner with Ace Ventura as the headlining act followed by Master Blasters & Earthling.
Reached the place by 6 around sunset & was surprised with a Rs.1500/- entry fee!! The place also looked kinda Ibizaaaish to me,personally speaking.
Anyways, was in for a good evening with friends as the place is right by the beach, but within 2 hours, round about at 8 the party was canned as Cops played their part!

Moving onto the other side of town, all the way at Hilltop Hadra Festival(France) promo party was on with Psysex headlining along with Lunarave & Cubic Spline (Hadra Rec)
Was not really keen on going so far as Hilltop has a 10'o'clock deadline,no point travelling so much.
So,was Chilling on the Ashwem/Morjim beach strech with buds.
Someone mentioned that "Disco Valley" was on from midnight onwards with a good line-up, mostly UK artists like Petran,etc.
Reached there to find out another entry scene with Rs.500/- per soul. Was a good party with some really good Djs, don't really remember their name (Deco by Vantara Vichitra)
This place was on till sunrise & then decided to head to "Monkey Valley" for another Festival teaser called Blackmoon that will happen in Italy later this summer.A Line-up hard to Ignore!! Think this one was only a day party featuring some of the best artists hanging in & around 604 this season
Names included Ajja, Aphid Moon, Arjuna, Petran, Govinda & Guiseppe!!
Then, come evening we heard that the folks at Shiva Valley were doing the Ozora promo party also tonite!! wtf?? 24 hours full----you know what
Anyways,headed there primarily because of the fact that Ajja was playing a 'Live' set with his Wife complete with Guitars & stuff!
Couldn't have missed this one with the Maestro! Again, a big line-up for the evening,we reached by 3p.m. as that was the start time of his set,little did i know history would repeat itself so quickly,it was 6 in the evening & no sign of Ajja, waited till 9 still the dude is nowhere to be seen, even though there were some fine juicy tunes being belted by another line of Artists such as GOAtika (Live Band) Illegal Machines (Boom Shanka.UK) Tristan,Dickster & Pogo (Nano Rec.) Earthling & Yab-Yum.
As usual a bunch of Looney Moon artists were also playing,DUST,Phobos,etc.all Looks like these guys have settled in 604 for good,i mean they're
playing at every party! (Zhannet prolly has his bed stacked up in the Shiva Valley kitchen!lol:P ) but wanted to listen to Ajja, sadly i was disappointed in the end & returned before the close of the night only to find out next day in the evening that Ajja came in the morning & played a 3 hours 'Live' set !!
Come on man, i thought it was a single day event,i mean 'One Day in GOA' right?lol
Anyways, later on found out that to make up for last time's goof-up the organizers decided to treat folks with a special psy-treatment for 2 days!! whaaaaa????
how could i misjudge this? sniff,,,,,

It was time to leave for me,same day there was another crazy party at 'Disco Valley' by a great line-up yet again but sadly i had a flight to catch from 'Utopia' to
take me back to the 'Real World' .Another 'FREE' party sponsered by Chill-Out Planet at Chronicle Beach(Vagator) featuring Kliment,Crystal Monkey, Once upon A Time & the one & only Samadhi!!
Again, i heard that 604 was gearing up for the month-end (28th) Shivaratri & saw a flyer for a Costume party at Hilltop called 'Costume Charade'
which said come in costume & get free entry OR pay Rs.1000/- featuring Kulu,Stranger,Teo,XP Voodoo & Giuseppe!
Anyways, am sure Shivaratri there was also a huge line-up at Shiva Valley but it was timeout for me.

Personally, i feel maybe Psytrance is not Dead or any of that bullshit Propoganda but 604 parties not the same folks!
Someone also suggested Westend in between my trip but that place is not for me, not so good vibes, huge entry fees, good artists playing there but that place really puts me off.

Go soon if anyone planning a trip, March end will see a decline in parties, not like there's a party daily somewhere i mean
