mushroom magazine Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Welcome to the best time of the year, during which we are finally freed from the grey winter time and happily cruise from festival to festival. Welcome to the world of words, in which every letter has its own short life, until it is replaced by it successor, yet is still happy to have briefly existed. Yes my dears! Welcome to the 14th birthday of your beloved Goa Rolling Stone which was your steady trip companion in both good and bad times. Reaching the fourteenth Birthday in Germany means one is finally free to officially chose ones religion. Of course we already made up our minds light years ago that this should be Trance in all its shapes and colours, and even as our beloved music morphs and mixes with various other electronic music styles, our community still remains something special to this day. This is something we can all be aware of when we venture on our more or less psychedelic sound safaris in the coming months, and behold each other on the floor with an ear to ear grin. Of course there is also a free tack for our mushroom subscribers. You can listen to it with by creating a log in at mushroom-online.com. The 8th place of our past Trance Producer Contest is IMIX "Watch your hands".

Besides music, deco and bodyart, clothing is an important element which many designers are choosing to explore. If some claim Trance fashion was a Technicolor unity blend in the past years, today this look has diversified into wildly different directions. Hip, chic, cool, sexy and also everything combined. In our current fashion special we take a peek inside the closets of the Elves of the past, as mythical creatures of course also undergo an evolution.... http://www.mushlink.com/110151.html ----------------------------------------------- Pyramiduna 15-18 August / Dunaremete (Hungary) ----------------------------------------------- Not only in Egypt or South America are there pyramids - now one has been discovered in Hungary! And close to it some mysterious wooden horns have been detected. Is it not the best thing to jump into some refreshing waters on a hot, sunny festival afternoon? And has not a party location close to the water always very special engery? In this respect the Pyramiduna in Hungary seems to become a pretty special festival. The venue is situated on an island in the middle of the river Danube. On the one side there will be quiet swimming places, on the other side you can also go for a little "rafting tour" with your air mattress at your own risk. The venue is tree-lined and provides enough shadow. And the exotic sound system will be a novelty for most of the visitors. It features some giant wooden horns which will blow away the audience with some exquisite Psychedelic sounds during the weekend. http://www.mushlink.com/110188.html ----------------------------------------------- Winds of change in BRAZIL country profile from Trancers Guide to Galaxy 2008 ----------------------------------------------- Brazil is nowadays one of the countries where trance music is most listened. Mixing different races and all kinds of crowd, Brazil is the biggest epicenter of trance earthquake which shakes the planet. Its worth to visit it! Since the very first crazy parties at Trancoso beach back in the middle of the 90‚Äôs a lot has changed in Brazilian psychedelic trance. Years have gone by and the music has left the shores of Bahia conquering the whole country and psy-trance pumps in every single state of this continent called Brazil. http://www.mushlink.com/109938.html ----------------------------------------------- Antaris Project 11-14 July / Near Berlin (Germany) ----------------------------------------------- There are two open airs that are called the primitive rocks of Psy Trance festivals: If the VooV (VuuV) is the grandfather of festivals, than, without doubt, the Antaris Project can be called the Grande Madame of the Psy Trance scene: On the second weekend of July 'she' invites the global Trance freaks for the fourteenth time already to some cheerful "Laugh & Dance". The recent years have not been easy ones for main organizer Uwe because he had to struggle with serious health problems. So we are really happy that he is now doing well again and full of positive energy to create this years' Antaris Project! His return means some interesting news. This year there will be the Spritual Healing Arts Area by the name of "Yogatown" for the first time. This new area of the festival will glisten from heaps of esoterical decoration and enables party visitors to engage in a lot of activities that go beyond the scope of a normal party. At this area you can attend workshops in Yoga, Qui-Gong and massage, have meditation or drum sessions. Furthermore, there will be a real Indian cermony and a great tabla concert. An integrated movie floor will show as a premiere, the first part of the long awaited Antaris movie "The mystery of the funkstrom" and other movies. Anyone, who was disappointed by the drowned mainfloor last year will be compensated now: The gorgeously decorated mainfloor will run full three nights and four days! The line-up is simply gigantic, so there will be something for every taste. http://www.mushlink.com/110179.html ----------------------------------------------- FullMoon Festival 16-21 July / Wittstock-Dosse (Germany) ----------------------------------------------- In 2002 a new event appeared on the German festival landscape. But what was this - an error in print? Not at all: The Fullmoon-Festival really took place during the week! And those who attended this event rapidly realized why. People who had traveled here were really euphoric about this party and had taken their holiday just for it. And the atmosphere was likewise: Absolutely no "casual visitors" as you might meet on some weekends, who sometimes bring negative energies to parties. Instead, there were only open- minded, cheerful party fraggles from many different countries. After the intial concentration on FullOn sounds in the beginning, the musical bandwidth has expanded through time. So this year you will find not only top-notch Psytrance acts playing here but also an alternative floor where you can listen to Progressive, Electro and even Techno sounds - for full six days and five nights! Sophisticated decoration, light installations and an impressing laser show will upgrade this anyhow attractive venue even more. Watch out for this pretty special event! http://www.mushlink.com/110183.html ----------------------------------------------- Spiritual Healing 25-27 July / Gerdshagen (Germany) ----------------------------------------------- Since this summers' parties are getting closer again, both location and date-wise, it sure is a good idea that there will be a shuttle service. Collecting the people at the Fullmoon, sending them and their cars safely to the Spiritual Healing and finally to the VuuV. Another highlight for me will be the oldschool session on Friday night, when the promised sound from 1993-1998 will take me back into the ancient times of Goa. http://www.mushlink.com/110206.html ----------------------------------------------- Tshitraka Project 3-9 July / Near Berlin (Germany) ----------------------------------------------- Take an old Soviet airbase, a high-grade organization team, some matured decoration artists and a selection of world- class Trance musicians, stir it up and let it brew for seven days in the warm summer sun. The resulting cocktail is called Tshitraka. This festival distinguishes itself from the mass of Trance festivals in several ways. The location, an old military airbase, has a very spacy flair and only at a few events you can sit on top of a hangar, sip your cocktail and watch the colourful dancefloor activities. This year the party will run full six nights and seven days without break, so be prepared for a busy party holiday! The line-up is definitely remarkable, heaps of top-notch artists will give this event a very special groove. Not only but especially lovers of Progressive Trance will be teased by the musical program. http://www.mushlink.com/110176.html ----------------------------------------------- Party News ----------------------------------------------- Th 26.06.
