Guest jota Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 In case anybody in the global scene is wondering where to go where they can have a great party in a beautiful location and under a warm sun then let me tell you about Mexico. The scene here only started 2 or so years ago but in that time things have sky-rocketed. In December a new record label, Sound Sorcery, started here with the intention of providing artists with reliable support from their label. These people are making a very serious attempt to bring full trance to all of the Americas. The labels first release party was December 15 with a line-up including Alien Project, The Antidote, Synthetic, GMS, Shanti, Christof, Dimitri, Paul Taylor, Zorba, Vatos Locos, Soundaholics, and Mexican live act D Tek & Dr Panic as well as killer Mexican Djs Arturo and Alfredo of Sound Sorcery. The album, Time & Space Pt 1 included new tracks from GMS, The Antidote, Alien Project, Logic Bomb, Astrix, Absolum, Talamasca, GBU and Saiko-Pod. All tracks are killer. Check them out at www.soundsorcery.com and maybe think about visiting Mexico for April 27, Time & Space Pt 2 release. I´ve heard some of the lineup but can´t mention it yet as not all are fully confirmed, and I´ve made a promiss, but let me tell you it´s going to be crazy. The Mexican scene is so vibrant, like a young child just learning how to be naughty, if you know what I mean. With such a diverse country there are many types of locations to have a party including beaches, forests, hills (surrounding Mexico City and Guadalahara) and the best part is that the local people absolutely love to party. As restrictions in Goa have made the good old days really seem like good old days, then the next spot for the Global Freaks to enjoy life is Mexico. In the past year every top artists has been here and this trend continues. In the coming month there are many great acts coming...Infected, Atmos, SUN Project, Shiva Chandra, Alien Project, GMS, Prometheus...I can´t even remember half of them, and there are plans in the works to bring so many people that again, I can´t begin to remember and list them. What I´m getting at is that if you want to party outside Europe, Japan or Australia, then try Mexico. It´s a budding scene that is just waiting for the international freaks to join them. I know, I am an international freak and these people just love what´s happening. I haven´t seen people going off like this since parties a few years ago in Japan. One little warning is that some of the parties are a little slow at starting, sound isn´t always stable but things are getting better as event organizers are getting serious about it. Generally, every party is excellent though. I´ve come to Mexico as a decorator and DJ and have been loving it. I don´t have a webstie that lists all the partys here but check out Sound Sorcery.com or mandalarecs.com of Guadalahara. There are so many people getting into the act now and we´ve only been here for 3 months so haven´t learned who everybody is yet and what their websites are. My website is www.deliria.org. So, in short, if you want to take a trip somewhere, then Mexico is a great place to take a trip!!! BOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Valerio Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Thanks for explaining us the situation in your country. I guess Mexico as well as North american countries are a very promising places for Trance Movement. The scene is growing everyday... I hope to get in touch with you !

Guest mijis Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Jota are you the canadian guy who decorated time and space party? if so.. I respect you a lot good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jota Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Setsuko-hola, yeah, I know about the big Equinox party in Playa del Carmen area but unfortunately I won´t be going despite the killer lineup. I was involved in the New Year party held there and the local promoter left a bad taste in the mouth of many of the artists involved. I hope the Digital and Iboga guys get taken care of but the Mexican crew feels slighted. It´s going to be a killer party but I just can´t take party organizers who are in it for the wrong reasons...ie displaying peace, trying to make it seem like a spiritual event when thats truely not the way the organizer is. I know him well enough to fell confident with my opinions. Besides, we are working on 2 deco jobs in Mexico city the same time so we´ve decided to stay here and bring our shanti vision to more people!!! Kzi---the only thing I know of in the Yucatan would be the above mentioned party. There are a few smaller ones going on around the Tulum area, which is super beautiful, super shanti but you have to be there and just get the word on the street to find out what is happening. Usually they are on the beach and you also get some in a cenote, which is like an underground sink hole made by dripping water. Really beautiful sites .But there´s an element of dis-organization so often locations are not secured until moments before the party and one is kinda left running around, wasting money on taxis (taxis are the only safe way to travel around there at night I´ve been told!!!) but when you do find the event it´s usually good. Small, in a beautiful spot with great people and the music is usually good. I´ve only heard a few of the local DJs but from what I´ve heard some are really good, others are mediocre but the talent is rising as more DJs get more music and more experience. Bujaboy--- yeah,the Psysex party was good, I enjoyed being an integral part of that one as we did the stage deco. I especially liked Psycraft. It was their first performance outside of Israel and I was very impressed with them including their down to earth attitude. The same people are hosting Infected Mushroom in a few weeks, should be another great one. It´s true, the people here go off like there is no tomorrow and they don´t ever want the party to end. They are super full-power, that´s for sure. I ran into Goblin the other day, he just did a great party a week ago in Guadalahara with GMS (half power GMS from what I hear) and the top Mexican DJs Arturo and Alfredo from SOund Sorcery. Samsara--- Hiya, how´s the Island going??? I don´t know if you caught my message last week on the RaveVic site but basically I was just saying Hi to our friends and family on the Island. Unfortunatley we don´t have plans to return, we are still giving it our best shot here in Mexico and the people who are left from our team in Vancouver are mostly finishing school so they can get down here and help out later. But I know they´re dying for a party and may get something going. The only real problem is that the team members who put most of the financial effort in are either here or Bolivia wiht plans to come here by April, so since there is no money who knows what will happen. We really enjoyed what we were doing on the Island, much better vibe thsn our efforts in Vancouver. The Island people wanted to party whereas the party politics in Vancouver kept everybody from just getting down!!! Anyway, sorry we won´t be coming back anytime soon although I should be swinging by at the end of May on my way to Australia and I´d love to play at a party. I should see what I can get going, eh??? Strumpling--- yeah, get down here. I honestly don´t know how LA compares to Mexico for parties as I´ve only been to one event there a few years ago, actually it was San Fran. But I´ve met several DJs lately who seem to be coming from Europe, hitting spots like LA and New York, then down here for a few weeks. But nonethelss, there are some good things going on here before the rainy season (June-July) then again after the rainy season. If you plan on coming here email me when and I can tell you what I know about what´´s happeing so you can maximize yer time, but basically Mexico City and Guadalahara are the hot spots. Mijis-- hey, yeah, that was me and my partner who did the Time and Space deco. We have big plans for Time and Space 2 and from what I´ve heard the line-up will be super bien chido, cabron!!! Thanks for the compliments, it really spurs us on to get more creative and build newer, bigger, more psychedelic structures. We´re also really proud that we can bring a new element to the psycho parties here in Mexico. The locations, artists, and people are so good, we love that we can add to the environment to help lift the events to a new, more free and psychedelic level so that everybody in Mexico can have a choice of having crazy fun despite what el Hombre says is okay to do!!!. I´ll see you at Sun Project this weekend!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
