If we want the MAGIC, we have to make the parties with LOVE, with absolute reverence for ART, in harmony with N*A*T*U*R*E and with a sincere intent on making something <<<<TRUTHFULLY>>>>> for the PURE essence of magic. We need to strive for the highest feelings, for "LA NETA" amigos. There is no other way around this, we will reap what we sow people, it's as simple as that. So lets aim to high frequencies where true psychedelia takes place.

Let's plant that seed deep in the underground, where we can celebrate life in sincerity and have faeries manifest in our dance. You know if you want the faeries and UFO's to come to your party then your party needs to be something special. Would you not agree? You think the magical entities will want to visit your party if its full of mental rubbish, ego and commercial trash?????? That is just a call for unwanted vibes and people with the wrong mindset to flood your party.

Go beyond what is fake, beyond bullshitting yourself and the scene. Strive for pure magic.

Ask yourself, what type of party you want to make? Get this: You can have a tight professional organization, with great promotion and fantastic line up making well recognized parties. However as good as this can sound, it does not mean your parties will be magical. If you want to make a magical party, you need to then think like an elf, like a fairy, like a magical being who's eye is his heart. You must turn yourself into a yogi, a shaman, find that duende magico that is AWAKE, aware and flying high on unselfish vibes and love for art. Only then will you get into a different mindset where you begin to step out from the typical, stale, dull and plastic formula that makes parties boring and soulless. One thing is for sure, your party needs to have SOUL. Give it all

And when making the decorations for the party, please people try and do something ORIGINAL, everyone just keeps on repeating the same style used in all the international parties and it all just looks the same. Art has no rules, you can do ANYTHING. And that is so cool. Stop copying the standards of the good parties worldwide and start CREATING your own art and own styles. ART is not a formula, its not a cult where you must do things a special way to fit in with the psy trance scene. It is freedom of expression, EXPRESS YOURSELF anyway you want, get that locochon out and explode into something NEW, raw, fresh, ALIVE. Plus in a place like Mexico we have plenty of inspiration, we have all types of arts and crafts and things that can add a unique blend to the psy trance scene here. There is plenty of food for absolutely new and unique ideas.

Now about the musical artists. Well obviously this part needs to be chosen very carefully. But some people here are suggesting that we should give more opportunities to the local artists and less opportunities to the international artists. However in my personal opinion we should give more opportunity to the artists with the BEST music, REGARDLESS of where they come from. Fuck the country ego bullshit, in the dance floor there is no nationality, we are one tribe, one world, one family. IN LAKESH

Yes lets stop worshiping the international artists but then lets not start getting stuck accepting national artists as if nationality has anything to do with good music. How about we better worship good music regardless of nationality? I think that in a GOOD party only the Mexican artists that are up to the level should be accepted to play, otherwise the whole party has to suffer with mediocre music. And all just because the artists are local???? Give me a break. I say no special benefits. I prefer a party with only international artists that play the best music than a blend of both international and Mexican artists which in the process brings the overall music quality down. Lets just grow up and be impartial, accept only good music, regardless of who plays. You want to play, well then you got to have seriously kick ass music. Otherwise kiddies, Mexican or international please go back to the studio and practice some more.

Anyways, these are my two cents for improving the scene Mexican scene.
