Since now waiting for reviews....
How was the Deco?
Everyone on the line up played? Who was the best live?
What organizers can do next year to make an even better party?
Strong points of the party.
There was enough trash cans?
The sound system was really good?
Respect!

It was created a good solution for sure for shadow @ the dance floor - nice and fresh. However I think space tribe backdrops are *really* something that should be avoided in such big events, as there are so much beautiful and different things that could be arranged instead.
At night it was nice as the deco was white and UV shining with projections on the main covered area - suppa cool for sure - but also think that some other lights could be arranged (like moving things such intelabeam etc)
the main stage was super nice as well and also a part of the decoration for sure.

afaik every promised artist played.
In my opinion Sub6 was top quality as they presented something different from the rest of the other artists - groovy, hypnotic and not fluffy - serious music with great quality. Bamboo Forest was also nice.
Jimmy Monro was da deck-wizard as expected however I felt that some ppl did not understand his style...I even heard someone saying that was not trance - and telling this about the mind behind flying rhino records sounds really not proper.

Everything that was under the organizers responsibility was done. Did not hear about any trouble regarding security, food, drinks, artists or related issues. Party was clean, with plenty of water supplied and in a great location very close to Sao Paulo...
This party can definately become a standard for other organizers in Brazil as far as party structure and organisation in concerned. They really did a wonderful job.
However in my opinion a festival should be more diverse as music styles are concerned. Unless you got into the party after 5PM and before 2AM you would only hear full-on israeli style as anyone could expect from the line up.
For sure I am not here to some useless bla-bla about styles - specially considering a lot of people liked the music for sure, and also because I play different styles from different artists with different citizenships- but I really think that a 4 day party must present unusual musical experiences to the crowd - or isn't trance music supposed to be innovative and a well-succeded mix of cultural influences?
Just something to think about later...
Thanks to Rafael, Du for the invitation and to all the rest of Solaris crew for the excelent and respectful treatment I got!
All the very best

party was great
sub 6 and bamboo forest kicked ass for sure and i really liked one D.J. that played on the first night but i don't know his name. He has red long hair.
I really liked his music and wanted to know more about him.
Decoration was awesome too.
Sound system was great...
Location was beautiful and ppl were fine.
things that pissed me off:
-The sun (that "tent" on the dance floor really sucked!)
-Every time i would buy any water tickets they never had change!!
U own me more than 4 bucks Du serena!
-U told us in the forum we couldn't take video cameras and i saw a bunch of ppl using it there!
That really pissed me off! maybe i shouldn't have asked!
Oh well, the rest was great!!
Charas?? No chillum?? NóIX!!
Don't panic... it's organic... |

Best Live: Infected Mushroom and Sub6, these new guys realy rocked, amazing live with drums and a lot of energy!

The whole fest was quite impressive. Despite any differences ppl might have in terms of personal taste, the presence of Yahel and Infected Mushroom, surrounded by the best Israeli artists at the same time over the same stage, as it happened this morning during the Tribute to Cosma, has set a landmark to all those who love Psytrance here in Brazil, and surely is to remain amidst the recollections ppl who saw it are to keep for years to come. It was not a common party at all. Unforgettable ! Besides that, BLT´s live act was a party within a party ! Plenty of quality, plenty of energy...My personal favorite out of the whole pack: BLT´s perfomance of their "The Calling", morning breaking up, hard to describe it. A rare privilege. |

Killer party indeed, fucking good organization, structure, deco, landscape...
The sound system was very good but sometimes it was distorting in the middle range specially the high/mid freq.s , but nothing serious!
About the artist/dj review:
I loved all the lives I saw ,BLT showed me some killer prog israelisounds, Psysex was also amazing with one of the most modern trance ever, so clean and powerfull! Psycraft was the top act in the melody cathegory for sure and Astrix the best in morning fullon!
Some dj sets from the "gringos" were veeeeery bad, almost amateur dj sets! My opinion is that if u are not a pro dj, u should not play so!
Anyway, i give also my congratulations to Intelabeam, Sub6, Yoni, Erez and Duvdev and all the others i forgot to mention!

I think Du Serena wasn´t professional .On his set (he play at 10:00 AM)he ask for one of the staff guys to stay on the dance floor with a "Vaporetto" showing the people.Nothing wrong with tath , if the "Vaporetto" stayed there on the morning and afternoon all days.But when Du Serena finish his set , the "Vaporetto" go away too.
This was a disrespect with all the djs tath played under a 40 C (100 F) degree temperature.
EB , do Du Serena is one of the top Djs in Brazil?I don´t agree with tath , and I think a lot of people too.
Other negative point was the line up timeline.They changed everything in the middle of the night. |

Lolo, did you dance? Did you jump like crazy? Did you go to other dimensions?
I don't see how any of what you wrote has to do with a party.
So how was it people?

Hi LOLO,
Sorry man but your words are not fair...
I was working in the Festival, and I was the one responsible for the VAP machine... The machine started to work in Du set as a matter of coincidence... We were trying to make it work since 6 am... Do you imagine how difficult is to have water, with minimum pressure at the dance floor.... Unfortunately, just after Du set the machine broke... The machine was not strong enough.... We tried to rent another machine but everything in the city was closed....
Please man be careful with your imagination...

about dj ... who surprised me was carbon 23 ... very killer set ... don`t know him before but now i will follow him for sure .... duty too coz normally i don`t like so much but this time he put a real big power on the floor with some classical tracks but with a good mix and progression ... i was really enjoying his set coz he was playing for people and not for him self ... this i respect ...
