deer fields is by far the most beautiful land i have experienced for a trance event. the land is some 940+ acres of sprawling orchards and glorious fields, 2 large beautiful ponds with boats, rustic old cabins and a huge-mongous stage. The west coast artists were given a cabin to stay in with full facilities and food prepared throughout the weekend. The weather was perfect, a little humid of course, but only 30 minutes of rain around noon on saturday. I didn't have to wear a sweater much throughout the whole weekend. I got to see a cardinal bird, which i have never seen before, they are sooooo bright red! The ponds had turtles in them and big fish swimming all about, the water perfect for diving into from your floating platform with the bed on it. decks and wood bridges, SHIT, i don't know i should just stop the place could be talked about forever!
The music was good throughout the weekend, with a nice smattering of talent from different states. I was a little dissapointed in how many "dj's" are using ableton to mix prewarped tracks and just pushing play, standing up there dancing, doing nothing while the track does its thing... but the music was good and the first night people properly didn't rock to hard to save energy for saturday. I slept most of friday night, which was a much more apocalyptic night, much truly darker music this night. Saturday night was really nice, good music throughout. I got to help create Catatonic Despairs live set as he had not ever used it before. His music was very creepy and experimental psy, very low frequency and heavy. He played around 1am and after him was kelly, a georgia local with a heavy more russian style music he dj's, followed by the west coast section of the day. Freaks of Nature set was awesome, very clean. we had a great time playing the sunrise set and being able to finally see the dancefloor. Dylans set was incredible as always and was the best way to spend the sunny morning, i was a little bummed that when he played the 'everybody get naked' sample, no one did, but you can't get everything you hope for... naked trancers are good for everyone! Pan Tripsa followed with some really pushy kind-of progressive basslines with a psytechno feel, was really nice. Then psoinic finished with some more pushy music. The rest of the day involved several swimmings, and good conversation.
when i was helping catatonic despair setup the computer for his set, this dj from texas was playing. he had one track left and cued up, a 12 minute track. while i was plugging rca's into sound cards and such he pushed play on his last track and .... it was our track, FUNKY TOWN!!!! before 5 seconds passed i had thoroughly rebuked the kid and forced the song off the sound system. Major party foul!!! I did thank him for liking our music hehe, and was happy that i was behind the decks when the blunder began. hopefully in the future this dj can be a little more aware of who is playing at the party with him. and for those who haven't figured it out yet... DON'T PLAY MUSIC BY AN ARTIST THAT IS PLAYING LIVE AT THE SAME PARTY!!!
i had a great great time there all around, one of the best! the dancefloor was solid and the people over in the south are just so freakin chill and they walk so slow, they feel very much like nw-ers on a slightly slower pace. I had some great conversations and met great people. Spent a lot of hilarious times mani and jeff and dylan and kevin, what a bunch of freekin jokers we all are, i felt as if the comedy troop had come and unleashed itself on whoever dared step up to the rockingchair-covered cabin porch. we really are a family us west coasters, and i think that this particular little group of artists we had at world bridge will become more connected and be touring together soon, slammo-ing it up all over the place.
now i am hanging out with Jason and his wife Meg, 2 sweet people with smart heads on their shoulders who have a really nice big lcd screen and cable and ac in their house!!! tonight we all eat with dave and kc and then tomorrow back to seattle on the plane, wednesday back in portland to my bed. I have had a wonderful time here and i can't wait to come back for the next world bridge, maybe you should all come next time too!!!
