many thanks to all who came from near & far to make this such a memorable event - we had a blast closing up our festival season with y'all out in the mountains, couldn't have asked for better weather 
on a personal note, i learned that even cleaning up the glass from your shattered rear windshield can be fun if you have the right music (venetian snares - rossz csillag alatt született)

big thanks to the whole family for putting together an insane weekend, the weather was perfect, warm - sunny - a few breezes - absolutely perfect
the food was really tastey with a wide variety of good wholesome grub.
the old school sound system rocked in the new location!
the music was in my opinion the best its been in the past 3 years. everyone threw down very proper like, a few that stood out to me were.
1. Dons dubstep set on the chill stage, very tranced out with lots of deep deep basslines, lots of new sounds for me.
2. Alex (the bastards) dj sets were right on point, from the opening tribal stompers to the grooved out minimal set on saturday morning, it was all very very good, and when i found out that a lot of it was his productions, wow! cant wait to hear more from him.
3.Osos morning melodic grooves sounded really nice with the sun beaming down on us.
4. Open Source Code played some really authentic sounding old skool dub sounds that put everyone on an island retreat, sitting on top of the big hill across from the chill stage hearing that was bliss.
5. Corals set was the perfect balance of darker grooves with melodic warm melodies, the whole mix sounded on point and had me getting down the whole time,
6. dragon had a very new sound that was really interesting, he has really come a long way and did a nice job opening for artifakt.
7. ARTIFAKT!! holy shit, he totally rewired my whole body, it was so nice get a good workout while hearing some of the freshest sounds on this planet, i knew it would be really good but for 3 hours it was some of the rawest most innovative music i've ever heard, NYC is next do not miss the chance to hear this guy, the sounds he's using just are on another level, so crisp and clean they just grab you by the balls and make you dance even when you think you cant. i remember looking up at the sky seeing the stars so clearly and thinking this isnt real.
8. Witchdokta took us into the morning with some nice melodic and funky full on, my legs were a bit wobblely after artifakt though. but seeing the sun rise from behind the stage was magical. had a great time hanging out with Richard all weekend,
9. Shapestatics new material is sounding very intelligent, futuristic and pumping, these guys are really going places. congrats guys!
but overall I thought everyone did a wonderful job.
I do think things got a bit hard a little to early on saturday night, just my opinion though;)
it was great to see so many smiling faces on sunday morning, everyone there had a great time, a lot of people were at a psy festi for the first time too,
we feel very honored to have had the opening slot on saturday night right after the ritual (which was very clever), thanks again for that!
i look forward to seeing everyones pics.
see everyone next year!
all the best - peace and light

Thanks Touch Samadhi for an amazing weekend!!
...it was my second time at Deerfields and I forgot how beautiful it was...perfect camping weather! Enjoyed the music Egbot, Collision, Wichdokta, Karmakanik and the Medimonks dj set at the end was great!!! Heard a lot of interesting chill and not-so-chill music in the chillout.
Really enjoyed all the food I had at the food vendors tho I really really wish they had stayed open all night or that there was more than one food vendor to accomodate for everyone- people get hungry at 4am too....
It was a last minute decision for me to visit North Carolina...extra special thanks to the cool philly people who helped me get there
Can't wait to visit the south again!
pics & video soon!

what a wonderful experience! my first time that far east and what an amazing first time it was! The venue was amazing, the vibe and people wonderful and the music on point and amazing the whole time.
my highlight: ARTIFAKT - holy crap, ive been wanting to see this guy for some time and he completely blew my mind to even greater than my already high expectations. he definitely needs to come back to the states
other standout acts that come to mind: Primordial Ooze, Wichdokta, Egbot, Karmakanik, Shapestatic, Aktif, Medimonks, and many others im sure i forgot
i hope to come again soon and love everything touch samadhi has going on there! keep up the incredibly good work!
thanks to all the crew, Don/Nod for the hospitality, Paul for the ride back (so i didnt have to take a 24 hour greyhound again), Scott for the scotch (dude, i knew you were gonna miss artifakt lol), and all the great people i met.
Good Friggin party |
