It's a start, and hopefully the first serious step in introducing the chillout concept properly into Israeli festival and party culture. If it will draw a crowd, we can hope to have a bigger budget next year and bring some overseas taste.
So we need you all to come and bring your friends

sorry for late reply,

actually... it ROCKED !

heads up to Shahar for everything, as i understand he was responsible for chill stage (and also playing great set for 5 hours despite having some technical problems. Respect ! ).

after going to same festival last year i didn't have many expectations but i honestly gotta tell, it was worth going there 100%. last year i went for vibrasphere,agalactia and shulman and that was about all i got. this year nearly for the entire 3 days i had lovely music satisfying all my chill-hunger needs
capsula was great, zero cult too (was told by him his 2nd album will be released in a month or so:))
vataff project, agalactia, shulman playing at main stage (shame their performance was too short imho). my personal choice of highlight was probably Outersect. not many ppl across festival site bothered going to chillstage yet i saw quite many dancing to his music uphill across tents

me & my gf are in deep gratitude for all artists* that played @ chillstage. Thank You !


* the only downside for me was that shahar was dictated by organizer to put on lineup some artists that didn't have Anything to do with 'chill' (and few of those with music at all). but that was a fairly low price to pay for all the good time we had.

definitely will be waiting for next year event !
