With summer fast approaching, there seems to be lots of chatter about which music festivals people are going to. If I had the chance to go to any electronic music festival in 2011, my choice would be the 2011 O.Z.O.R.A. Festival in Hungary. This psychedelic tribal gathering has first took place in 1999 when 30 thousand people gathered to celebrate a total Sun eclipse in the area: the famous Solipse.

This year, the festival will be held from Aug 2-7,2011 and features an amazing line-up of live electronic music acts including:

• Ace Ventura

• Man With No Name (One of my old favourites!)

• Ovnimoon (One of my new favourites!)

• Protoculture

• Suntree (Another new favourite)

• Union Jack (One of my all-time favourites)

• X-Dream (Yes, another old favourite)

…and many, many others!

When DJ Cyber asked me to fill in for him this week I was only too happy to jump at another chance to play loud trance this weekend. Synaptic Sandwich has been on-air even longer than Trancendance, filling the 9-11pm (PST) Saturday Night time slot on CiTR 101.9fm.

Tonight’s show got started about a half hour early at about 8:30 with some of Christopher Lawrence’s live set from Burning Man 2007. DJ Quake brought us across the 9 o’clock hour getting us warmed up for my live mix.

This week’s mix got started with a track recommended by Nikki Sentience: The Liquid Sould remix of Galactic Mantra by Ovnimoon. Truly a psychedelic intro, if ever there was one. The rest of the inspiration came from DJ Tso, whose mix: Goa Dreams Volume 4 turned me on to the group Suntree.

I was a bit disappointed with the mix at first, but on second listen, most of it is actually pretty good with only one or two major goofs near the end. Considering everything I played was brand new and mixed entirely on-the-fly, it came out not bad.
