hello everyone
i had a blasting time at shpongle and at the after party!
shpongle was simple divine and well, to me all the vocals were freaking perfects, but hey i can understand someone won't digest them.
I am not sure the blond girl singing was michelle adamson but i bet she could have been, and she was really doing it nicely (except the few times her mic wasn't properly working)
About the after party i met robin triskele (yay after 10 years of online chatting!!); infra303, ooze and senobyte from discogs & i thought i met mattman too but i might be wrong since he never mentioned to have met me .. so i met maybe someone else that had a similar sounding nickname. if i knew there were some others of psynews i would have tried to meet as well.. but anyhow..
The gorgeous girl around with Simon at the after party is his girlfriend (and on the album u can read he writes quite about her) and the entire cd shines with the love he has for her if you ask me, is really deep and emotional and you can feel it in every track (also as u read the comments on the booklet he explains she had a role in many of the tracks).
Some words about the after party:
I went the 31 but seems like the line up was more or less the same both days except on 31st there was Max Lanfranconti that delivered an awesome set, full of energy, perfectly beatmatched and with a lot of melodic tracks, yay! i really did enjoy it.. and plus it had a nice old school vibes as he played some remix of vimana and some pleiadians track too! really enjoyable.
Another great dj set was courtesy of Tristan, he rocked the place and really playes some tripping tunes.. then the same happened when richard trevor played and mike maguire of juno couldn't disappoint with his pure oldschool dj set. I also took some time off the banging room to hear some lovely progressive trance played by james monro first and george barker then.. basically every room was filled of glorious names of the oldschool scene, it was awesome, i never seen so many famous goa artists all together.
The great part is that i could chat with some of these monster names and if all goes right, DAT Rec will feature some unexpected old sceners .. (finger triple crossed mates.. if it happens u won't believe it). The only artist i didn't see or chatted with was martin freeland but a guy i know did and apparently he has a full album in the make.. let's hope its soon as he never failed to deliver classic tracks. Well that's about all for me, hope u all had the same awesome experience.
PS: about the location: if they managed to close the parts where the fresh air was coming it would have been perfect but the again the feeling was SO underground like a proper oldschool party
