World Bridger festival in Cuernavaca December 29th °°
-
The last Friday of the year, December 29th, we'll see the World Bridger festival happening in Cuernavaca. On the line-up we find DigiCult, Nemesis, Oonah and some other interesting names as Inner Mind, Hamelin, Farbo, Guillik & Dosantos, Hisrav, .... For more info on the party you can always take a look in the upcoming DigiCult agenda.
For New Years Eve we'll get the sweetest thing in this Mexico tour: a beach festival in Puerto Vallarta, on the Pacific side of Mexico. The party is organised in good tradition by the well known Massive Trance crew. And they present an excellent line-up! We'll witness Electro Sun, Bizzare Contact, Cosmic Tone, DigiCult, Reefer Decree, The Atari's, Han Solo, Antigravity, Nemesis & Oonah, Nino and many more of course. For all info you can follow this direct link. See you all in Puerto Vallarta for this one!!!
Tuesday December 26th in Cancun is the next event in the Mexico tour. Again it's Nemesis and Oonah who'll be giving the best of themselves behind the decks. Place of the event is a roofless bar/club named Basic. It stands on an island in the lagoon behind the Cancun coast line in the hotel zone. The organisation is being put together by Basic and Psycun.
The pictures from the Merida party this last Friday have been uploaded to the website. Just visit the pictures section and navigate to Mexico Tour 2006 to find them. It turned out to be a very strange but pleasant night. The party was stopped for some time because of heavy rains and the Inferno bar where the party was happening first was open air. But luckily the party continued afterwards at some other location very closeby!
The Bacab party in Palenque was simply amazing! Great location and an outstanding vibe. The pictures are really cool and will show you what the party was like and of course some random Palenque pictures are included. For all party info you can visit the website by clicking here. Thanks a lot to the organising crews for everything!
The Black Solstice festival which was to take place this weekend in Puerto Progreso near Merida was cancelled just a couple of days ago. Despite of this unfortunate thing we will make the best of our time in Merida and tomorrow Friday December 22nd there will be a small event in a bar called Inferno. Nemesis and Oonah will play dj sets alongside some Mexican talents such as Niño Magico, Marvelous and Charlie Goa. With the entrance you get an open bar! That sounds nice....
Some pictures from the Tlaxcala party organised by Mayabeat are online in the picture gallery. Unfortunately they are not that great since it was really dark during the party and we were unable to make some nice pictures. The location itself was pretty nice though. It was outdoor and the dancefloor was surrounded by a canyon at three sides! Thanks to Luís, Armando and all the others for an excellent gathering.
DJ Juggler from Portugal has written a review of the Orientation Vol. 2 compilation for the Chaishop website. Read it at their website or just check below.
Review:
For celebrating his 5 years working in trance scene, Dacru Records bring the second volume of Orientation series...
Track 1 by Chromosome starts the compilation in a mellow and fast progressive way...it has a power bassline, some percussions mixed with harmonious synth sounds, some vocals with effects...
Track 2 by Aquila has a strong and groovy kick bass line, very agressive and rhythmic...some melodies going in and out, good breaks, nice morning feeling.
Track 3 is a collaboration by Digicult and Ephedrix...is a bit more fast (148 bpm) and more agressive, althrough it has that morning feeling too...groovy and strong bassline, some spacial melodies, perfect for a big summer festival.
Track 4 by System Failure is my favourite here...it has a really killer kick bass line, some digital and electrifying melodies, really nice construction, perfect :)
Track 5 is a remix of the well known Avenida de Bélgica by Perplex...it has that Perplex’s groovy bassline, nice and simple synth sounds, some classic guitar riffs, I like it.
Track 6 is another remix, this time Solar System remixing Voyager from Bamboo Forest...this one is very fulfilling, it has some psy tunes, open hihats, some vocal samples, very psychedelic.
Track 7 by Electro Sun is another dancefloor fullon bomb...strong kick bassline, beautiful morning melodies, great energetic breaks, Electro Sun’s style :)
Track 8 is done by Didrapest and is a bit more psychedelic...it has a deep and groovy bass line, some pacific and open psy sounds going around and a nice and solid construction.
Track 9 by Twilight continues in the same style but this time with a more pacific kick bass line...it takes you into a kind of a synthetic morning soundscape, with some quiet arpeggios going in and out.
Track 10 is a collaboration of Digicult with Dj Oonah and is a bit more fast...I think that they could choose a track with less bpms for ending the compilation...aside from this, it has some uplifting melodies, a fast and groovy bass, rhythmic and danceable.
I think this second volume of Orientation shows the kind of sound that we can expect by Dacru Records, morning and psychedelic fullon for killing worldwide dancefloors :)
Saturday December 16th we'll see the 5th party in this Mexico tour, that means we've reached the halfway point. Place of party this time is the magical Palenque, a place with some of the most impressing mayan ruins. The location is a big open field next to a ranch with full view of the jungle and also the top op te highest construction at the archelogical site can be seen. Furthermore the party location has 2 swimming pools on site to make it even more amazing! On the line-up we find next to DigiCult, Nemesis and Oonah two interesting Israeli live acts: Bliss and Painkiller. The organisation of the party is taken care of by the Baaxten crew and Kolectiva crew. For all info you can take a look in the DigiCult upcoming agenda or take a look at the very nicely done party website by clicking here.
