I
f you saw the video we are sure you are
amazed right now, as we were every night
with the theme this guys presented! As you
can see in a compare with the people dancing,
this construction was really big. We estimate
around 10-12 meters high and about the same
wide. Each petal of this “flower”, was outlined
with LED lights so the end result you saw, was
not only by the visual mapping, but a combination of the LED lights and the visual mapping.
Adding to all that, several of the petals had inside them robotic lights, creating a really
dazzling spectacle! To tight all that together, the
world renowned ‘Artescape’, dropped a humongous “Butterfly” design (as you can see at the
center pictures of this review) showcasing once
more her unique talent. Kudos to the organization team and everyone involved creating this
astonishing stage. Truly, one for the ages!
Aside of this fabulous “Butterfly” stage, Summer Never Ends festival had another 3 stages.
The second in line was the “Bubblebee” stage
featured Full-On and Progressive Psytrance,
the third in line was the “Dragonfly” stage featured exclusively High-Tech Psytrance and last
but not least, the “Firefly” stage which served as
the chill-out area. All stages received great care
from the organization team and all were extremely well decorated. Our favorite one (aside
of the main stage) turned to be the “Bubblebee”
stage (music wise) but that’s just a personal
taste in music. All dancefloors were rocking!
Food wise, the festival included everything you
expect to find. Or perhaps even more. A vast variety of shops and dishes was available, covering every possible need. From Pizza to burgers
and from veggie foods to soups, they had it all.
Really a lot and nice options to choose from.
THE music
Now we’re getting down to what festivals are
all about! Music at Summer Never Ends Festival
was really, really, nice. Sound in all stages was
powerfull with the main stage, in our opinion,
needed a little bit more! In a little “poll” we’ve
made, people were satisfied by the power of
the sound, so this is just a personal opinion.
The line-up featured an immense pack of artists
such as Tristan, Ace Ventura, Zen Mechanics (with
the duo appearing also as Zentura), Ajja, Atmos,
Lucas, Tsuyoshi, Dick Trevor, Perfect Stranger,
LOUD, Earthling, Talpa, Tron, Cosmosis, E-Clip,
Giuseppe, Hypnoise, Dark Elf, Tetrameth,
our tutorial maker Mechanimal and more.
Everybody gave their best and we had some
really memorable perfomances. Very Psychedelic tunes, ultra atmospheric, bonding amazingly
with the natural environment of the festival.
