Hello dear S.U.N. people! Beautiful seven days is behind us and it's time to look back on what was good and what maybe could be better.
1) First of all, place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I've visited O.Z.O.R.A. last year and I have to underline that these two places can not even be compared. There's a lot of forest around, there is a lake in the middle, there's a small creek, a beautiful hills, valleys, etc... Nature is colorful, with a lot of different plants and animal species... Wonderful!
2) Music timetable was killing! No sleep! From main floor to chill cathedral and back. Totem stage was also very nice place (except the zero night when some awful Hungarian country-folk guys drove us away from stage - trance started after two hours of that ear-torture when we already lied down in our tents). Generally, music was really good and schedule was totaly ok. I also stumble upon nice music at Healing Garden few times (one night I've listened Freedom Café there - guys are really great!).
3) There was a lot of nice, kind and polite people. There were no incidents, no police abuse or harassment, no violance... Police was present in small number and they didn't make any problems at all...
4) Festival area have better spatial layout than Ozorian (IMO). Place is a little bit smaller, not much, but enough that you can be sure you'll be able too meet friends on your way between stages.
5) The Solar Circle!!! It was much, much better than Ozorian Main stage – in my opinion, of course, but you’ll see photos and you can compare.
And now, objections:
1) First and most important issue - WATER! For God's sake, guys, are you completely lost your mind? Thousands of people have come to festival and you’ve welcome us with almost no water! You shuoldn't open festival gates if you didn't provide enough water. People was wandering around from one empty tank to another. Showers - disaster! The one that was close to my tent was open two days after that one on the hill. Showers didn't work during all day but only few hours during the day and in most cases that was not in announced time. Pump was only reliable source of water but in a few times it was broken too, and we had to wait for repair. While people were staying in a long rows in front of few tanks with water, there was, of course, a lot of water for selling... :/
2) Second: entrance! I know for sure I’m not the only person who was fooled by taxi drivers. A lot of us were driven to exit instead of entrance. After 15 min walk we came to security that didn’t want to pass us by and we have to walk all back to Bercel (cause there was no signal for cell phones to call taxi and even when the signal was showed taxi numbers didn’t work) and then stop cars or chase taxis to Szanda. We’ve payed double price couse taxi drivers didn’t know or didn’t want to know which way is right. Of course there was no signs at all in Galgaguta which could show us what direction is right. There was no shuttle bus neither, just a bunch of corrupt taxi drivers who were taking 5 euros for driving us at the wrong location.
After epic journey with a lot of walk, hitchhike and unnecesserily throw of money we finally arrived. We counted that travel from Galgaguta to S.U.N. would cost us round 2 or 3 euros as it was said at festival’s page. Actually, it cost us from 5 to 10 euro depends of who was lucky with hitchhiking and who was not.
When we arrive it was 15:15 and ther were a lot of people in front of gates and the organizers have told us that we can’t go inside yet. We wait till 5 or 6 pm (I’m not sure) and after we finally came in, very unpleasent surprise waited for us. We were walking with backpacks for almost one hour before we finally saw main floor. It was not 1 km or 2 km long walk like it was announced. It was 4 or 5 km on very montane dusty road. Very, very hard walk by foot. I don’t know the reason why the organizators put entrance at such a long distance from festival place… I would really like to hear an explanation…
3) 2 euros for charging cell phones???!!! Why??? 2 euros for what? That was really disgrace. You should be shame for that.
4) English pleaaaase!!! Guys and girls at shops, security guys and other staff barely speak english. You should engage young people with at least basic level of english. Also, a lot of informations were on hungarian language only… which brings me to next:
5) Technical water. A lot of people haven’t notice a little sign next to the pump (near the lake) while they’ve stayed in a row (I didn’t notice it myself, couse it was little and it was on hungarian – luckily, my girlfriend has noticed it). These who drunk that water ended in ambulance like my friend and his girlfriend (with temperature above 40’C!). Doctors told us that little cuts on bare foots and poisoning with techinical water were two most common medical interventions. IMO, that sign should be 1m x 1m with clear picture and text in 5 or 6 different languages. It’s very, very important thing and organizers shouldn’t gamble with lives of visitors…
After all, I can conclude that for the first time, festival was very, very successful. Over 10.500 people were present. Place is wonderful, it has big cappacity for improvement. I like couse there were areas without cars (which drove me crazy at O.Z.O.R.A.). There were a lot of hidden, secret places, but in the forest its could be more… Chill was a little bit dissapointment, but ok, we really didn’t expect huge tower like at O.Z.O.R.A. at your first S.U.N. Prices were fair, beer 1,5 euro, food from 2,5 to 6 euro (for 6 euro you could buy a porcion enough for two people – seriously), there was a grocery store with affordable fruits (1-3 euro/kg), vegetables, bread (1 euro) and milk (1,5). It was all little bit cheaper if you payed in forints. We didn’t get bio shampoos and soaps at entrance like they promised us but after few days it was possible to get them.
All in all, I think that oranisation could be much, much better and I really expect that these guys will do their best next year. Lack of water, paying for charge cell phones and staff who don’t speak english shouldn’t be repeated next year.
I really enjoy this festival after all. My expectacions were maybe too great, so I was a little bit dissapointed, but I’m sure that in a next few years this festival could be on of the biggest and most enjoyable psychodelic trance festivals in the world.
Hope to see you next year!
I na kraju, brate… Koliko nas je Srba bilo tamo…. Uhhh… Mislim da me je to smorilo najvise.  Nisam imao utisak da sam izasao iz jebene Srbije uopste, a cilj ovog odmora je bio da zaboravim na svu muku ovde. Gde god sam se okrenuo na S.U.N.-u, pricao se srpski… Obicno bih se tome obradovao, ali brat, bratu – bilo nas je preko stotinu tamo! Kako god, nadam se da ste se svi lepo proveli i da ste zdravo i bezbedno stigli kucama ili gde ste vec krenuli… ‘Aj pozzz!  |

hooo wee... took me over a week to get to this but i feel like i have to
so first and foremost i must say that this festival was AMAZING! esp. considering the fact that its the first year
it didnt start out smooth at all, started off with the fact that the shuttles werrent allowed to enter the festival site and we had to change from the bus to a microbus due to police restrictions, which is ok, but the fact that we had to sit on our asses in some village with absolutely nothing to do, no food nor drinks to buy anywhere for 4 hours at 2am... good thing that everyone was in high spirit and turned the wait into somewhat fun as soon as the sun came up, our ride finally arrived, just before we got to the road that enters the festival site there was a huge police block, searching for whatever they wanna find with dogs and everything, kinda freaked us out in terms of things to come in the festival, but as we got in we understood that it was no biggie, no strip searches or searches in the tent and we still got the feeling of absolute freedom
so on the first day (before the music started that is) there were continuous comparisons to ozora which was simply unfair to be honest, but after the festival started, all the comparisons stopped and the festival was judged on its own - totally different from ozora, it turned out to be its own thing
music wise, i must say that there was WAY too much proggy for me, but every single act that opened the night was a personal highlight for me, and of course some of the artists spread throughout the day. it was the first festival i've been to in which there was pretty much only one night with dark music, im used to running away from the mainstage at night, but the nights in this fest had great music, altho not so fitting for the timeslots (sonic species at 3am? really?). i also missed too many of the acts i wanted to see in the chillout stage because of conflicts with the mainstage, but at least got to listen to cell and asura (no OTT/entheogenic/bluetech/bpc that i really wanted to listen to  )...
my highlights were cosmosis (what a way to open the first day of the fest!), vibrasphere (emotional, thats the only way i can describe this set, esp. when it started raining ), eat static - crazy funky a la merv , subconciousmind (was a great surprise for me), filteria (i hope someone finds a video of his set, absolutely crazy!), loud - was really surprised as usually i dont enjoy their sets at all, shane gobi, zen mechanics, union jack (perfect!!!! i cant get it that there were so little people in their set), raja ram - awesome retrodelic set except for the last few tracks which were too cheesey, but it was a really great one till then, esp. when the truck with the waterhose came and of course MWNN which never ever misses, i get to listen to his sets around 3 times a year and each time its just so precise... awesome also, james monro's surprise set was really good (and im surprised to be saying that, cuz im not a fan of his lower bpm stuff at all) - this guy just spreads amazing energies and gets a dancefloor well pumped ,x-dream played a great set too, just a shame for the sound problems during the set after that it was time for the heavy artillery from logic bomb - such a powerful set, i remember walking to take a pee and suddenly hearing the elephant roars when they started to play, had to run right back to the dancefloor and dig my ass off
on the last day i kinda missed out due to health issues, but what i got to listen to and see was really good sets from omka, gorgo, liquid ace (wow! never thought i'd say that about them, but they were friggin good!) and of course atmos who closed to mainstage
the market and food were amazing, really a wide variety and nicely priced, plus plenty of room to sit down
the chillout stage looked a bit neglected in terms of deco (like they hadnt finished building the stage), but was really nice esp. with the sand instead of the regular ground, also totem stage was very cool, but when climbing up the stage's hill, the view was absolutely stunning - really beautiful location for a fest
plus all the trails and secret island and gallery were really nice, i liked the little "gates" alot, it was like entering a new world each time you pass through one on the trail really nice chillout spots - tho i probably missed out on a few (i know about the kaleidoscope and the decahedron thingie which looked amazing in pictures) - besides the nighttime visuals were absolutely stunning
now on to the people - this has got to be the friendliest nicest people i have ever experienced in a festival... such a family vibe, i felt it the most when i felt bad and everyone around me (which i hadnt met before) took care of me and helped me get better
the things that need improvement imo are the infrastructure and as previously mentioned - WATER!!! simply not enough... taps/showers etc. also i'd like to see more deco around the mainstage, but i think that for a first time festival they did a great job, and it will only get better in years to come when they improve the infrastructure o and one more thing, i think more thought has to be put into building the musical lineup, as it was too much of one style during daytime, plus nighttime acts that simply didnt fit their slot. ooo and lastly - please make bigger maps and lineups! they were too tiny
my friends and i had a REALLY amazing time and will definitely come back next year
so thank you s.u.n and moksha crew for pulling this one off, i think you can smile in pride and say it was a great success
and most of all, thanks to all the people that created the crazy vibes on the dancefloor, and for being so kind and friendly allover the fest |

Thanks a lot!

He has fear of flying. I guess that was the reason. :/ |

He was never meant to be there. It was billed as "message through space" throughout. It was always meant to be a pre-recorded set, like it was.
The only difference was it started late and was only for 60mins instead of 90.
Sadly Ovnimoon's intense fear of flying means he doesn't perform outside of Chile.
Such a pity as those tunes sounded AMAZING through a big system. |
