Psychedelic Heaven in HUNGARY
It was another great year in the country where all seems to be going well. The Hungarian psy trance scene had probably its greatest year with all the parties and two major psy trance festivals for the first time in the country’s history. In the ever growing psy trance scene even more (Man With No Name, Digital Talk, Goa Gil, Absolum, Silicon Sound ) artist visited this small country that seem to have all the right ingridience for psychedelic gatherings of big and small.
Then there was Ozora 2005 of course .The biggest festival in Hungary and the one that everybody was waiting for .Visitors from over 20 nations graced the holy grounds of Ozora where the touch of the solar eclipse was still noticeable .The place, the people, the vibe. It all came together here, that reminded us that there is still heaven on earth.
This was the year when the No Man’s Land festival became one of the major gatherings of the early summer season. An amazing sound system gave the people and their ears and brains all that it could handle. It was, according to many visitors one of the friendliest and warmest gathering they have been to.
There was no shortage of smaller but still unforgettable parties deep in the woods, which meant that the underground psy trance scene is still well and alive. These small parties are the heart and soul of the Hungarian scene, where the older freaks feel really at home.
Hungary’s only psy trance label Procyon records also had a great year releasing their third release Liquid Hologram showing that they are indeed a very talented bunch capable of conquering the world. Procyon’s top dog Inner Action has played in many of the big festivals of the summer. It was an unforgettable year also for Hungarian musicians Para Halu who have been traveling the world with their unmistakable sound and having released their debut album with huge success.
Where are we headed ? An even bigger 2006!
