      Sounds fun. Do you the name of the party or which acts/djs were playing? Did you burn this year? We are looking for a venue in Chicago to play some Psytrance.

        hey there...i wanted to post a similar question "any psytrance in chi.?"
        i'm from chi. and will be there for Nov., but am a little bummed that psytrance isn't really popular like it is in San Francisco, where i currently reside. So, um, is there any psytrance around?

    Dear Derby,

    You are soooo out of luck. We had a lock down on all underground trance. Bad pills; mayor's son involved ...long story. There are some great after hours ...but those are all house. All the rest is bad progressive and the crowds are not too deep. I've booked several Moontribe LA dj's over the years in chi, but the clubs just don't house that kind of vibe. It would be very difficult to get a crowd out for a non mainstream psy-trance gathering.

    Your best bet for booking that kind of show would be at 'Crobar'. Good luck!

    peace.:c.line

      I have my friend ooahhdaturntablist, he played burning man this year at lush and next door at the el circo dome. he's flying here from LA to play at my scene here in dixon in jan, and we wanted to throw some sort of burning man style party, maybe warehouse, or something. I have been living out west in oregon and california so i am out of the loop here now and I am only back here for 6months but we want to spread the style here, I know chicago would love this style, sick breakbeats. bassnectar? i am open and needing ideas. anyone? PLEAsE , promise not to disappoint, peace-shanya

      Hi Everybody!
      I am from Poland, but I have been living in Chicago for the last 3 years. I organized some good parties over there. I was in London too. Have you ever seen any psychedelic trance parties over there??? I heard and I saw the craziest people and the best music ever over there!! Psychedelic trance scene is in Europe not here in U.S. If you have never seen psychedelic techno trance parties in Europe, you can not even imagine, how amazing it is to be there.
      Americans are so locked into rap music and all this staff which we can hear in radio here, so techno music they found is too robotic. As a result, its difficult for them to understand it and come into it.
      Concequently, There is not psychedelic trance scene and culture here, specially in Chicago. People do not feel this music here.
      If you want to go to Crowbar and some other clubs here in Chicago looking for real psychedelic techno music, psy freaks, goa heads-unfortunately,you will not be able to find this staff here.
      If you wanna go to London- a lot of possibilities-just check it out this web page:
      www.accessallareas.org (see party listings) -huge diffrence between psychedelic parties here and over there...
      Finally, I have to say-there is no psychedelic environment here in Chicago

        wow you missed a great summer. We put together 3 major outdoor festivals & collaborated with 2 others.

        I would mention the psytrance nye party, but it sounds like you would miss london.

    Hey there!
    I am from Sf and have many fun adventures with parties in my old stomping grounds at the CCC. I miss my family which is basically spread all over the place now. So to answer your question, we are here, just dealing with some harsh realities of life.....war, Bush... children,ect. I would love to be informed of good parties that would be worth getting a sitter for!!! Keep me in mind and Blessings your way!!!
