The fall equinox is always a crunch – everyone is trying to get their last bit of summer fun in before it gets too cold. It’s been a few years since I played an Earthdance, and they almost always have a good turn out. This one was no exception! I played right after Phutureprimitive and was followed by Menog and a whole group of producers and DJs from Triplag Records. I couldn’t have asked for better people to share the stage with! It was a visually amazing festival, with great decoration and an awesome outdoor location. There were five stages of music featuring every kind of electronic music you can think of. I arrived in the daytime on friday, and was greeted by my friend Sinensis, who was my stage manager. It was my pleasure to share the stage with my dear friend Mister Chill’R, who is my collaborator in the Chaos Control project.

I also saw a few more old friends, Knowa KnowOne and Luke Mandala, although they were playing on a different stage. Here’s a picture of Knowa playing on the other main stage:

The venue was totally beautiful, situated deep in the forested mountains near Alsea, Oregon. It started raining in the early hours of the morning on Saturday, and didn’t let up until Sunday. Curiously, although there was no cell phone service, there was WIFI throughout the property, which worked to varying degrees. Still it was great to see it there. It allowed me to make a few phone calls and video chats via Skype in a situation where communication is usually impossible.

All in all, quite an amazing time! I can’t wait for next year!
