another big move happened as well...our beloved donkey(teehee), W, has packed his bags and cruised to LALA land. it's so fresh how it's working out. i feel like we've cast our starseed nets far and wide and we beez dancin with all the fishes mahhh bitches.

so, the time has come...we want to hear your voices. tell us what you wanna dance to. we wanna keep it fresh. so, let us know who you're listening to, who you haven't seen a billion times and wish to...tell us which of the e'n'see family artists thatchyad like to see again...

    Have to say that highlights for me in the past have been the international flavor brought by some of the artists. (Excuse my spelling in advance) Ana Sia of course, Sweet Anomoly, dancehall set that Taal Mala and Max Ulis, and Filastine (seemed to blow everybody's mind). But then I've got that global bent, so maybe I'm biased. It's just nice to have that extra flavor as the very serious whump whump bass heavy bad assness is fully covered. I also enjoyed the live music acts and welcome the variety that they bring as well. Life Savas, Heavyweight Dub Champion, Luminous Fog, Solovox, and Y La Bamba all much appreciated. I was bummed I missed Tarran the Tailor last year as I've since discovered I quite like his sound. I thought the ominousnous of Tusk's set was impressive last year. I'm also a fan of Novatron, Lynx, Saqi, Dangeruss and Gabriel (E.L.F.).
    I couln't be there for the whole event, so sadly I missed a lot of great performances.
    Thanks for having me on the bill last year (GlobalRuckus). It was an honor to open the lower dome stage. Not sure how I rated in the scheme of things, so if anybody enjoyed my set, I'd love to hear.
    Definitely keep the diversity coming. You've got a great thing going and provide such an awesome opportunity for so many different and varied talents to come together. Good work!

    I heard some of the most amazing WOMP WOMP last year and I'd very much like it to make a return... But if it's specifics you want, I'm going to say that in no order of importance Heavyweight Dub Champion blew my mind, as well as ESKMO/WELDER, The Funginears, Luminous Fog & Afro Q Ben, Lafa Taylor, EOTO (or ANY incarnation of CHEESE!!!!!!)


    RANDOM RAB and the early morning music warriors that smashed my senses on the ground... keep it cryphy, glitchy, itchy, scratchy, crunchy, drippy crystalized digitally enhanced tranced projector sectored all I can say is PLEASE DON'T SKIP ON THE WOBBLY WOMP WOMP!!


    I like pretty sounds.

    umm...

    well the music & performance scene here in arambol, goa this year is BLOWING UP

    there is a group known informally as the circus kids...
    a french crew doing all kinds of instruments and performing with multiple glass balls, acrobatics, break dancing, belly dancing, contortionistic movements, juggling, hula hoops, etc etc
    i have become a groupie

    i think it is possible they would consider a wander through our lovely west coast, and if so, you would surely NOT be disappointed...but more enlightened and with your hearts overpouring with love to be touched by them all

    find them here:
    www.myspace.com/tetouzemusic

    and another american duo in this mix:

    please!

    Thu, February 12, 2009 - 12:18 PM
    i had such a wonderful time at last years festival, volunteer-like which I am totally down for again, I love the box-office. and the gate!!

    I cant remember the puppet-show name offa the toppa mah head but they were very entertaining!!

    Please, I know that dub-step and glitch are an up-n-cummin thang but too much is too much!!! I love me some boonze-boonze and the WHOMP-wah-wah-wah-wah was a droning let down at all house of the morning. I would love to get a little more variety in there, and definitely some WELDER, love welder(eskmo) and more than just some... Ptown Fave Flyin J ifn he would grace the fest with some of his electro-punkishness, he has done some sweet-sweet mixages. SOLOVOX and GLOBAL RUCKUS are always rad-lishus... and yeah, any of the sweetness you wanna bring from BC!!

    Otherwise, cant wait to do it all again, been in my calendar since last year!!

            Yeah, magicians and juglers.

            Also, stand up comedians would be awesome.
            Perhaps a few improve troupes,
            theatrical plays,
            soloists,
            sword swallowers,
            ventriloquists,
            martial artists,
            sex acts for the late night crowd what have you.
            Spoken word,
            dramatic monologues,
            wacky inventions,
            spook houses,
            playground equipment,
            fun house rides,
            shadow theater,
            acrobats,
            sprockets bike dance troupe,
            Cosmic Lee's Intergallactic Traveling Show
            and NANDA.

              It would be great to actually get March Fourth to play this year. I know they have always been booked at the time in the past. I'll be crossing my fingers on their schedule being open and droppin it in their ears here on my end if you guys are still open to that scene...who wouldn't be I know?!

              My Wish list is all about........
              Dave Tipper! (and yeah, I know ya'll tried last year and it wasn't your fault it didn't happen and for that I am grateful!) Here's to it being a reality this year!

              Other than that...I know you have it pretty DAMN well covered. Last year was AMAZING! I just wanna say KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DO!

              Oh, and to everyone who keeps wanting the music to be different, I just want to say that I absolutely do not want more house or any trance (at all!). I feel like there are other festivals you can go to for that. I don't go to those. I never go to "our" decom here because I don't like (most) of the music. I am cool with that. I go where I LOVE. I don't go places and try to make them be something else. I would be bummed if the music at this (my favorite!) festival changed to something I am not into or even halfway. I know the founders and booking peeps for this one won't let that happen but I just wanted to say that to the people who keep pushing them for it. I am all about having some diversity but I felt last year was pretty good for that myself. I love it the way it is and the way it evolves!

              You guys are the best. Tied for Burning Man in my book. And that says A LOT! Big Love!

        Solovox -yes, i'm way biased, but his set last year WAS my spiritual experience of ENS 2008.

    I want to see Ryan Johnson paint again! His painting was super rad last year at Emergnsee and I know he'd be down to paint again.

    APT was so amazingly incredible! I would be so so stoked to see them grace the stage again.

    Thanks for listening to requests! Emergnsee was awesome last year, I had a great time with the other vendors, and I can't wait to go again.

    Love!!

    Oh yeah, forgot to suggest Shamanic Cheerleaders! Not only are they great energetic fun, they do workshops too...

    I'm with K8 on the Beats Antique and Subswara tips.

    Regarding live music and lack of attendance for those shows. It seems that a lot of live acts played during the day and with that happening a lot of people were chilling. It seems like you had a fairly substantial number of people out dancing for Heavyweight Dub Champion, Everyone Orchestra and Solovox (well, he's half live). You get a band like March Fourth or Chervona down to play, I think you'd have some happy dancing people for sure...
