ORGANIC DREAM present on Saturday 7 November..
"The Dream Of Time Travel v2" .. a time travel to Goa Trance!
After many years, a part of "RETURN TO THE SOURCE" back to Athens!
The following text was written by Return to the Source founder Chris Decker.
\\\"Where do you go when you close your eyes on the dancefloor? Return To The Source rolls back the centuries to trace a line from the strobes and drum machines of the 20th Century to the pagan fire and lost rituals of our ancestors. Let\\\'s go back in time...
The all-night internal linkdance ritual is a memory that runs deep within us all, a memory that takes us back to an internal linktime when people had respect for our great mother earth and each other. A time when we came together to dance as one tribe united in spirit. We understood the cycles of nature and the powers of the elements. We danced around great fires, we chanted and we drummed, invoking the great spirit to empower ourselves and our community.
Then one day a new force began to take control and these great rites of empowerment were suppressed. Our sacred sites where we once danced all night into ecstatic trance had been taken over by a new order of worship; forcing us to sit down in cold silence and listen, not move. The new forces were strong. They released a Papal Decree (an early draft of the CJB) which forbade all rituals. They smashed our temples and burnt our healers. They put the fire goddess in chains and burnt her at stake.
They worked hard to eradicate the memory of the dance ritual but it remained a seed deep within us all, to emerge one day in a new age, the age of technology. The time when humanity would wake up from its long slumber, once again to unite in the all-night dance ritual.
Gradually the spirit of the people would return as they recognized the sacred power of trance, once again opening up the channels to the Great Spirit. They would join together as one new tribe, 'The Rainbow Tribe': all colours, all races, all as one. The temples may have changed but the sacred earth they dance upon is still the same.
At Return To The Source it is our vision to bring back the dance ritual. A ritual is a sacred act with focused intention. Our intention is to create a modern day temple, a positive space created with love, where we can join as one tribe to journey deep into trance just as our ancestors did long ago. We view the dancefloor as a sacred space, a place to connect with our power.
To create this sacred space we use backdrops and totemic decor painted by the visionary artsists Zag. An energy grid is set up using quartz crystals place at specific points in the building, with a larger crystal hanging over a seven-pointed star. This star, drawn n the centre of the dancefloor, is an ancient symbol for grounding cosmic energy into the physical plane (Australian Aborigines take days to create symbols in the sand on which they dance during ceremonies to awaken the symbols.)
Just before opening the doors and letting Return To The Source begin, our Shamanic friends sprinkle Chalice Well water through the venue and burn sage which the American Indians use to cleanse energy. These ancient, sacred acts give us positive energy, empower our intention and open the dancefloor up to the possibilities of the dance as ritual... to its source."

DJ TSUYOSHI is co-founder of the legendary trance label Matsuri Productions. London ( '94-'99 ): You probably know him more as an international techno-trance dj. He was the resident DJ at the Return to the Source in England in 94, and has played some of the biggest electronic events in the world including the Berlin Love Parade, The Sydney Mardi-gras, Fuji Rock festival, Tribal Gathering, Fenix festival, Rainbow 2000, Earthcore and Return to the Source. He has also released some his own albums and singles and various mix CD's and was the musical director for ISSEY MIYAKE and VERSACE. In 1999 he started the monthly night at NYfs ARC(ex-VINYL,TWILO). He returned to his home town of TOKYO in 2000 and started his own regular party TOKIODROME (www.tokiodrome.com).
> MARK ALLEN / Matsuri Production - dj set
Mark first got into psychedelic electronic dance music in 1991 , during his first visit to Goa . Many travellers from all over the world converged on the palm fringed beaches to relax and to dance to music that people had brought with them on cassette .
He returned to London after 6 months in India to start training as a solicitor , but the mission closest to his heart was to collect all the music that he had been inspired by in Goa He bought himself some Technics turntables and together with a small group of friends , started putting on small private parties in friends flats. These events evolved into the renowned \\\"Pagan\\\" parties , which are still going strong on the London underground scene .
In 1993 , after qualifying as a solicitor , he spent another 6 months in India , during which time I decided that he had to make Djing and creating music his main thing . The double-life was not going to work and he had to pursue what he enjoyed most .
Meanwhile , Mark hooked up with fellow Pagan DJ Chrisbo and producers
Simon Maine and John Ford to form the techno outfit "Mindfield". The next year gave Mark his first taste of live gigs and record releases but his DJ career really took off when "Return to the Source " started in the summer of ’94 at North London’s Rocket Club.
The success of the early parties confirmed that the time was right for psychedelic trance music to reach a wider audience. Too many people had been inspired by the music for it to remain exclusive to a small tribe of travelling party people.Having changed venues several times, following the closure of the Rocket, from 30th April, RTTS will once again be there on a monthly basis.
The Trance community continues to grow steadily throughout the world and Mark has been making the most of the travel opportunities this has provided. 1996 and 1997 included many trips to Greece , France and Switzerland , gigs in Germany ,Spain , the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada desert and two Source parties in New York , Israel , Italy , Berlin (on Love Parade day) and Belgrade for open air parties, Guadeloupe and to Japan for the incredible outdoor Return to the Source party at the foot of Mount Fuji, Ibiza, San Francisco and the three day ‘Boom’ trance festival in Portugal .
Mark has been involved in musical collaborations with The Green Nuns of the Revolution , Nick Taylor from Prana , Andy Guthrie (AKA "Funkopath") from Medicine Drum and two of the guys from O.O.O.D. The new Quirk album with Tim Healey was released on Matsuri Productions in mid-January, preceded by a 12\\\" single titled ‘Dance with the Devil e.p.’Quirk began promoting the material with PA appearances at ‘Science Fiction in London, Sunrise Zone in Athens, the Locomotive in Paris and Natraj Temple in Munich. Throughout January and February, Quirk did a highly successful mini-world tour, including Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. (See April edition of "Wax" magazine, p56 for a report.)
The first CD Mark mixed and compiled was in 1995 , being the first in the "Deck Wizards" series on Psychic Deli Records. This was followed by 'Sonic Initiation' on Kickin’ records. Mark recently finished his third CD mix, the second volume in the ‘Shamanic Trance’ series from Return to the Source. This was released on the Positiva record label in March 1998.
