My review:
The place: The place was really beautiful, the organizers made a good job in finding such a place near São Carlos. From the dancefloor you could see a waterfall (but it was far, far away), grass and green everywhere, lot's of place for camping and a lake.
The dancefloor - The DJs were playing in two CDJ-100s and a Behringer VMX 300. The sound system was OK, but could be better in quality and size. The deco was nice, but with few UV lights.
The Chill Out - With lots of Deco and UV, the Chill Out was a really attracting place... Many great tunes were played there (I heard Cosma - We are the same) and the vibe was great to enjoy a psychedelic trip or just to relax.
The Sets:
MACK -> He did a technically good set, but I've seen he play better. There was some problems with the sound system during his set. The played Pixel and Cyclic - Nuclear Device and Cosma - People on Hold (Psysex rmx).
Vibra Live -> One of the best Live of the festival, the guy did it great. Groundbreaker never had so much BASS!!!
Du Serena -> Very well mixed set. Played Sub6 - Ra He Ya, Pixel and Cyclic - Nuclear Device, Astrix - Chaos, Cosma - Keep Going and Sub6 - Program Flys. Professional set.
Lipe Forbes -> There was no Skulptor Live (I guess because of the rain), so Lipe did a big, well mixed, 3 hours long set, playing Sub6 - Ra He Ya, Skulptor - Acapulco Gold, GMS - Animatrix rmx, Sub6 - Program Flys, Dino Psaras - 80's Virus and a remix to Seek and Destroy. Good job 
Noronha -> Good mix and music choice. I remember only Sub6 - Navigate Into and he closed his set with an incredible track that must be Infected Mushroom, one of the best tracks I heard in this festival.
Aendy -> Started with Fatali vs Perplex - 50 drops, Protoculture - Avalon rmx, Astrix - Chaos, Atomic Pulse vs Perplex - I know what I saw, Eskimo vs xlr8 - Nasty, Xerox - Adrenalin Rush (Melicia rmx), Astrix - Fire and some other guitar tunes. He played lots of well know tracks, but I can't remember anymore  .
Sesto Aviran vs Sesto Itai -> Their set started around 11:40am and ended 2:10pm. It was raining very much, I had to dance while holding an umbrella at the dancefloor. They did a back to back and Sesto Itai lost 3 beatmatchings. They started with a song I don't know them played Psysex - Alien Cop (Goblin rmx), Sesto Sento - Omeakon, Sesto Sento - Cookie Stealer, GMS - Animatrix rmx, Sesto Sento - Dive to Drive, GMS - Tweakers, Astrix - Solaris (GMS rmx), Sesto Sento - Smart Move, Sesto Sento - Playmobil, Astrix and Dj Highguy - Chaos, Sesto Sento - Sneaky Sneaky, Prodigy - Voodoo People (Eskimo rmx), Gataka - Bombay Boom rmx, Sesto Sento - Y2K, Eskimo - Party Pooper and some more well known tunes.
Anakis -> Very good set and mix, but I only remember Exaile - Radio Edit.
Maurício (Com.pact) -> Very good job at mix and music choice. He knows how to deal with beatmatch troubles. Sesto Sento - Y2K, Skazi - Fire and Ice (Eskimo rmx), Fatali - 50 Drops, Dynamic - Alien Craft...
Broken Toy Live -> WOW!!!!!! Lots of power and new stuff here. This guy did a 2 hours Live PA, for sure he has lots of great unrealeased stuff under his sleeve. Also played Spanking Season, Break Down Baby, Rockstar and some more already released. This was a very good show to be at! Keep it UP!!!
Sam Miura -> One of the best sets in mixing skills and music choice. He played with a Flawless mix: Xerox - 3D, Whiplash - Trip the Switch, Vibra - Groundbreaker, Rinkadink vs Spencer - Spectral Monkey, Void - The Creator and many more good tunes.
Sesto Sento Live -> Cookie Stealer, Prime TB (pitched up!!!), Dive to Drive, Playmobil followed by Y2K and closed their Live with Sneaky Sneaky (well done!!!).
Akasha (Alchemy Rec.) -> X-Wave & Melicia - Get Ready, Paranormal Attack - Viranchi the Creator, Juvenile - The Predator, Alien Project - Paradise, Barak vs Ergot - It's Gone rmx and closed with a remix to Smack my Bitch up (no good IMO).
Strong Points:
- The DJ Sets and Lives.
- Friends...
- The vibe of the place and the people was great (the place was really beautiful).
Weak Points:
- The Rain (but we enjoyed the party anyway, just had to hold an umbrella sometimes ).
- Trash on dancefloor.
- No bathrooms!!!! THIS IS A BIG FAULT! the bathroom was almost a KM from the dancefloor.
- Few protection against the rain.
- Always changing Line-up.
- Lot's of DJ didn show up, like Yasser Hanzi, Kore and Sesto Matan!!!!!!!
- A fat guy that was always lowering the sound volume! Go home, let us enjoy the music!
I enjoyed very much this party, the place, the people, the vibe, the music and friends... Had lots of fun, but the organizers could do it better, cause there was some basic mistakes in the organization. But I understand this is the first Festival by these organizers and one of the biggest Festival São Paulo ever seen (if no the biggest) so keep it up! Do more Parties in my City!!
Comments and critics are welcome.

Here a few things that I have to say about the terrible behaviour and horrible methods of the organsators of the "Innvasion Trance Festival" (it is a shame to call this children's party a festival). After being booked by the organisators, I was waiting (as usual in the business) for them to send me a timetable which includes the time that I have to play my set there and if I wouldn't have made many phonecalls, I still would wait until today. But this is just a small beginning. Normally it is usual from the organisation to ask the artists about their ideas of money they want to have for their work. At this so called "festival" no one even spoke one single word about paying me. I was travelling all together 700 km paying a lot of gasoline and taxes to come to the festival and no one asked or spoke about giving this back to me. When we arrived there, the organisator (a japanese menino calling himself djkk, I prefer to call him dj cocô though) told me to play at 2 o'clock in the night. For me no problem, but obviously for the organisators: After going to the dancefloor perfectly in time, I had to see that there was absolutely no soundsystem working. The security told me that they rebuilt the soundsystem and after I asked when i could finally play, he spoke that he didn't know and that maybe in 1 or 2 hours everything would be organised. Now i ask myself what kind of children's festival it is when they even can't check their soundsystem before making the party. This people use my name as a German dj to make promotion before their party and then when I arrive, I have to play at the worst time and even have to realize that the whole soundsystem is a complete crap not working at all at this time. I call this a deep lack of respect for the artists and after playing for over 10 years at many festivals and parties all over the world, this is by far the most ridiculous and terrible festival I ever saw. Of course I already informed all the djs I know in Europe and all them are laughing about this "organisation" and will never play for this people anymore in the future.
It is not correct to use the name of a German artist as one of the headliners of the festival and then put him at the worst time of them all, prefering no-name Japanese fritos playing at the maintime, especially because the sound of these so called "artists" (for me they don't deserve this names) played all exactly the same boring and lousy Israeli children style. After 10 years in the trance-scene and hard work to improve my style and music all the time, I have to realize, that this people prefer to hear music that we in Europe don't call psychedelic. It is pure Israelian popmusic and don't differ from hardtrance that was already played in 1996. It is a shame that little children who are listening to electronic music since 1 year think they that they invented the "psychedelic trance" and show no respect for artists that try to be different than this Israeli shit.
But back to the party: after speaking to the security who tried to rebuild the speakers and getting no answer from them, I was of course going to my tent sleeping because normally it is usual in the business, that organisers and artists keep to the times arranged before and I was keeping perfectly to this. I don't see why I should wait the whole night in the rain until this fritos finally decide to let me play. The next day I tried to speak to the organiser about what happened and instead of getting an excuse, he was showing no respect at all again. I am not the clown of a bunch of Japanese frito-children who have no idea of what real psychedelic trance means and I will not accept this behaviour. In Europe it is usual that when someone breaks a contract he has to pay anyway but this chlidren keep to no rules at all.
The organiser (DJ Cocô) told me that "I can maybe play the next day or maybe not". I ask myself if this little clown really thinks that I have nothing better to do than to sit 3 days in the rain and wait until he thinks the time is finally come to let me play. He is booking artists from other countries, making a horrible organisation, treat them with no respect and then don't even solve any problems. He didn't even speak anymore with me or inform me about playing. Normally it is his business to solve the problem and at least find another time for me to play and not my issue to do this. Using the name of a dj for promotion and then letting you wait in the rain for 3 days and getting no response or conversation is simply indiscutable and I will inform all the people and artists that I know to boykott this children in the future.
Until now I didn't receive one cent for all my travel. This people had enough of time to check their soundsystem before the festival and not after the festival already was running for 1 day. I can not book headliner-artists and then debuild the soundsystem and don't even organise another time to play. This is indiscutable and I hope that you lost a lot of money in this festival.
This Israeli children mafia is totally ridiculous and has nothing to do with psychedelic music at all. It simply is popular hardtrance to exploit the people and make money as fast as possible. But that with this behaviour the real scene is destroyed, these people don't worry about, they just think of the money because they have no idea what psy-trance really means.
I give you one advice, menino japones: take your bunch of children, go to Israel and never come back because there they like clowns like you. The way you acted is definitely not the way to treat an artist who was already playing at psytrance-parties when you was sucking mommies breasts and dancing to Xuxa.

well..... except for the problems i liked that festival...... the sun would have been appeared but no problems with the rain....... the bathrooms was a big problem, there was only one for girlz and one for boyz and it was far from the dancefloor........ the best live act for me was vibra, that guy is rocking all........ killer buds was nice too....... broken toy was very good, with a strong full-on........... the djs akasha, sam miura, du serena, the sesto guys, mikeda, another guy that played on sunday night and others that i cant remember now had done a nice job too.......... i won many good friends, and that was the best point for me.......
eh noix!

I think D.M.Turner (Psychedelic Infusion/Germany) has a STRONG point. I saw at least 3 different djs arguing with the organizers about in which time they would play.
Also, an organizer told me, before they fixate the line-up in which D.M.Tuner was supposed to play at 2:00am, that the party would stop around 1:00am to chance the side of the sound system (A judge arrive at the party with two police cars in the saturday and, like Eskimo would say: "Asked to Stop the Party", unless they change the side of the sound system, more details follow the link in my previous post). This is lack of organization and respect, some organizers knew D.M.Tuner would not play at that time at least 12 hours before 2:00am. They could have warned him.
I think artists from Brazil or from any other country deserve all the respect. MACK was another artist that had his work and image depreciated because of organization faults.
Just because we all had lots of fun in this party don't mean we must close our eyes for all the shit that happened there. I liked and enjoyed the party, but I know the organizers should have show more profissionalism and respect for the artists and people there.
Respect!
