Enchanted Forest 5

The date has been set for SA's largest outdoor dance party, Enchanted Forest 5 ... Sat Dec 7, 2002.

Last year's record breaking Enchanted Forest party attracted over 6,500 ppl ..

The venue although still a close kept secret (you find out on the night) is apparently a grass filled wonderland with tree's galore and never before used!

The Enchanted crew are looking for stall holders and any other interested performers and artists (throughout Australia) to get in touch to make this the biggest and best Enchanted yet. Contact the Enchanted Crew on <[email removed]>.

DJ's will be announced this month

Relive the adventure!

ya can't beat it

two big outdoor parties following each other - make that three, Earthcore is on just before Outback Eclipse Festival! Unfortunatly, I can only do one and it will be the Outback Eclipse.. don't think anyone can beat the offering of a full solar eclipse tongue :P

Actually have heard that some Melbourne people are coming straight the 2 the outbackeclipse after earthcore so if u could get those crazy cats to also come to enchanted wouldn't that just be a colourful sight to see! Wink ;)

And I guess the country and western heads miss out yet again! Frown :( tongue :P

Went to my first EF last year... think I'll be pretty much a regular now. It's just something about a rave/dance party/whatever in the outdoors that gets me moist!!

I liked the venue last year but was hoping that it would be amongst loads of trees and grass etc... The image I'm getting in my head is much the same as Kryal Castle (adventjah) which was earlier this year at Ballarat. The backdrop was trees on a hillside (if you've been there then you'll know what I mean) with a laser shooting onto them etc.. made for an awesome sight when entering the complex.

My thoughts for the day!
Smile :)

We've been given second wave Earl Bird tickets (ie $45) not first (ie $35)... so it's cheaper at other places ATM.

Syk Syd Registered User	when will the organizers make room for some goa/psy trance djs @ such events? I gotta say i find it odd that the most intense sonic form of electronic music is often over looked by promoters! now why would that be? when i got home from the weekend, i flicked on the light n flicked on the television....no matter how hard i flicked i still couldnt get that boogie of my finger!

Paul Okenfold and even Danny rampling would you believed have mixed psy/goa trance comps a friend of mine is into some of tyhe sounds and I have bought him CD's from Tsuyoshi
Suzuki and Return to the Source a club and label that treats it parties as a the continuing of ancient dance rituals

Quote:

We view the dance floor as a sacred space where we can connect with our power. To create this sacred space, we use totemic art and props, created by visionary artists. A large crystal is hung above a seven pointed star in the centre of the dance floor. The star symbolises the grounding of cosmic energy into the physical plane.

Quote:

Goa Trance is recognizable by the following characteristics that distinguish it from other forms of Trance,
a very steady 4/4 beat.
lots of very psychadelic sounding wobbly noises, and acidy sounds.
a lot going on, noise wise. No poncey Detroit minimalism here - just chuck in loads of boingy wibbly noises, all on top of eachother. Imagine early Eat Static, but with less imaginative rhythms, and you're getting close. Pyschedelia is the key.
It is traditional, but not obligatory, to have at least one sample from a cheesy 50s Sci-Fi film or Star Trek sample per track. "All channels and frequencies clear", "The electrons do it to the neutrons, the neutrons do it to themselves", kind of thing.
Tracks generally go on for ages.,

Or in my onwords its the trance that you will see crusties jugglers fire twirlers and eaters with dogs on a string- the perfect soundtrack to a pot of shroom tea Wink ;)

agitate! educate! organise!
