    Positive Education Festival  Saint-Étienne, France 1-4 November 2023

    Expertly curated techno festival, the music was terrific and the sound systems impeccable – Positive Education is a really fabulous example of how festivals should be, with amazing artistic lightning and lasers used in a really minimal and subtitle way. The setting at Cité du design in an old ammunition factory was magnificent and the walls…

    The Peacock Society Festival 2022 last Year was magnificent Laurent Garnier played an extended 3 hour set at sunset that was truly spectacular, so we can’t expect it to be as good as 2022 Paula Temple  was terrific after the always reliable Richie Hawtin, and Trym needs more experience.

  • TIME WARP | Mannheim Germany, April 1, 2023

    TIME WARP | Mannheim  Germany, April 1, 2023

    Time Warp 2023 was spectacular, too commercial, too crowded, too histrionic, and proof that the underground sound of Techno is way better and stronger than so called “Business Techno” (external link) and that being a great DJ takes experience. This is what we did 22:00-00:00 KOBOSIL – FLOOR 1 We started here KOBOSIL was fine…

  • Astropolis | Brest, France 2022

    Astropolis | Brest, France 2022

    Laurent Garnier has the ability to create collective effervescence or energy and gather all generations. A psychedelic experience involving a realization of the “wholeness” or “oneness” of everything. Laurent creates supremely psychedelic and eclectic sets that really take you on a voyage. Until he started, Astropolis was just a well produced highly enjoyable festival. Then…

    Possession x Perc Trax

    Real Rave Excellent DJs Outdoor great LGBTQIA2S+ young crowd of Serious, Hardcore, Up for it dancers. Great sound! Highly recommended! Only criticism Lighting was too bright and just blasting into the crowds eyes from the stage the whole night. This seems to be the trend and is quite disagreeable.

    Marvellous Island Festival 2022

    We went on Sunday June 5th. This is a terrific Festival a good mix of different DJ and genres – some excellent sets, some less so Dave Clarke is a beast, you really haven’t experienced Techno unless you have danced to one of his sets. Like visiting Berghain for the first time you maybe are…
