ok, it's Phase2, reporting live from the internet cafe behind little Vagator

beach, in Goa. This season seems a little slow, but it is finally picking

up speed and guesthouses are filling up as tourists from the UK and

Europe nare arriving via charter flights for the holidays.

 

Parties with 200 - 300 people, and steadyily increasing each night,

are kicking off every few nights at Disco Valley in Vagator and Bamboo forest

in Anjuna. In the bar scene, the Nine Bar rocks every night until

10, and Primrose goes from 10-2. sometimes there is music till

sunrise at other locations, sometimes not.

 

The music is able to continue till well after 10pm, and it seems like

the police are not taking such a hard line with the parties, and are letting

things slide this year...so far...

 

last night was a particuarly good DAT set by Doctor Vagator at the Primrose,

playing a super psychedelicmix of this year's best tracks..logic bomb,

GMS, huxflux, etc. the dancing trancer people (not the lager swilling

pub crowd) were worked into an intensive fluro frenzy under the balacklights

and painted palm trees. but it seemed like only about 20% of the people

were dancing at all (mostly Japanese and indians), and most people were just there to smoke chillums, drink brews and chat.

 

this is my first year in Goa, but I can intuitively sese that it has seen much

better people and scene in years past. but, it is still a fun place to meet people

from all over, and party.....and regardless...the MUSIC is eveolving and getting

better as the years go by!

it's now 11:30am, thursday morning, and the last fluro freaks are biking

away from the party location at Paridiso, north Anjuna. What a motley

crew of psychedelic madness! A few hundred glowing, scared,

tattoed, dreadlocked, smiling faces kicked it hard until about 10am..and

seemed rather unable to leave after the music stopped.

Paridiso is a rather commercial place,

backed by big money - but they do know how to get the right DJs

to come and keep the police away!

I just saw a flyer from there (Paradiso), but it sounded way too commercial (ibiza style). Is there a free entry?

Haha, 20% dancing....yes, it's always been like that.

Party on, I'll be back in goa in feb/mar (moving on to hyderabad, north i 2-3 days).

cool reports phase..

yeah i heard about dr. vagator, he is supposed to be good. i also heard dj amrit from gms, and xp (aerodance) really kicked it in this year.. nyways good to hear that the scene goes strong...

detractors, keep spreading bad rumors about goa, that way we can trip in piece..

please NO TOURISTS at parties, you guys spoil the vibe. i remeber being asked by some versace toting bombay kid at a party last year, when pulling a chu, if he could take a picture of us..... SCARY>

hey btw phase, the cops usually let it slide every year, keep them happy and they will stay shut.
