Huitzilac, Morelos (outside of Mexico City)

It was another outdoor winter party near Mexico City that proved to be worth the cold and the distance for the party-goers. Originally, the gathering was planned to be in the Ajusco mountain (like Psyrcle and M?a's last party), but these party producers had to change the location due to situations beyond their control. The new location was an abandoned horsebackriding club 30 mins from the city. The dancefloor was a huge open area decorated with a fluor space-age edge done by the Ayahuasca Decoration Crew.

The elevated stage was surrounded with hanging glowing planets and tie-dye structures. Fractal Seed (M?a) and Dj Tantra (M?a) warmed up the crowds that started to arrive early on. A lot of people that came on public transportation even walked a couple of miles to the party site, and by mid-night there were close to 1,000 people dancing on the open dancefloor. Ecliptic and Epsylon two of the most outstanding live trance acts from Mexico followed each with an energetic and uplifting set. Maili (Krembo/USTA,Israel) then led us through a great set including a lot of Israeli trance. By this hour the cold was pretty bad, people kept warm with the numeorus bonfires on the dancefloor (at least seven!) and the hot drinks in the food area.

The dj team Vazik (Psrycle) and Geza (M?a) proceeded to delight with a fresh mix of the newest clean-cut trance and the crowd of almost 2,000 moved to their groovy mixes. At 6 a.m. the long awaited guests, Shiva Chandra and Mapusa Mapusa put everyone into an ecstatic trance with their luscious live performance. People screamed and the vibe was high despite the freezing temperatures. They played some of their best tracks including some from Shiva's last album Auricular. After a truly delightful performance Shiva Chandra and Mapusa Mapusa exposed the people to an exquisite dj set that led into the morning. It was some of the finest trance that did not let you get away from the dancefloor! After the sun came out and people's brains and bodies warmed up most of the party-goers were still happily dancing. At 11am Sally Doolally stepped on stage playing solid tunes that lead the party through an incredible end to an incredible night.
