@ Camp Zoe, in MO

Ok, this isn't strictly a psytrance party, its more of an all out rave, but it comes highly recommended. I've been to UGS the past two years in a row, and it is by far one of the best produced parties I've come across. I totally thought that last year would have been the beginning of the end for this festival as there was alot of shit that went down badly(the sound ended up getting shut down by the cops at like 3 in the morning the second night, during the headliner lots of busts, the promoter was arrested for getting noise complaints from over 5 miles away.) That was they decided to switch venues to Camp Zoe.

I've been there twice for hippi / jam band festivals and the place is owned by straight up family, is much larger than the previous venue and will not have any problems with noise complaints. It use to be a church camp thats nestled into the Ozarks and has a beautiful spring fed stream that runs directly through the camp grounds, with several cliffs and caves that can be explored. There are showers, and all the amenities. Also Tom (the main guy behind this party) did a beautiful job with the stage they put on @ this years midwest burn and did a very good job with cleaning up their camp(I was on crew.) There will undoubtedly be many different sound camps(5 total last year) including an all or mostly psy stage, and the sound and lighting / visuals on the mainstage will undoubtedly be top notch. Infact I'm so stoked about this party I'll be coming all the way back from the west coast just to go, before heading back for BM. So I'll go ahead and post some quotes and the mainstage lineup:

"Now in its fifth year, the nation's premier electronic dance music camp fest returns bigger and better. In 2009, we are bringing UnderGround Sound to a new location full of its own natural wonders.

Nothing is set in stone yet but I played last year and will likely be playing on of the stages out there this year as well :-)
