As a matter of fact, after another 10 years (2015 and beyond) the good news is that Trance has grown quite a following in the US, and places like the SF Bay Area, and while Trance has been declared dead a few times in the last 10 years, it's still going strong here.
Trance Family SF is definitely strong in the area, we've been getting more big trance parties every year, including many top DJs that come visit us what feels like every other week now (as of 2018-2019), and through those events, I made many friends in Trance Family SF. Thanks to you all.
Over those years, I got the chance to meet a few of my favourite DJs, including Armin more than once, and my last hobby has been to work on lights for my shirt and pants (version 3) and (version 4)
Quantum Valley, much much nicer this year with pixel forest in the foreground
fantastic paint job, well done
low res version of my previous shirt better coverage. Nice job
and then, there is this guy, it was his first EDC and he did more than great :)
it's a beautiful art car, just not my kind of music
Quantum Valley (trance) was much improved
Niko Zographos helped open the new stage with a great set
above and beyond was next at circuit grounds
Gareth Emery was next, for an interesting set that travelled all over
after Craig, I went to check out the competition a bit
then back to Quantum Valley for Bryan Kearney
Paul van Dyk sadly only got to play a little bit before the stage was shut down for wind
Ruben was nice enough to take a picture with me
Armin was also nice enough to take a few pictures
eventually, all good things come to an end
time to get home and race back to the airport for my flight that I found out got cancelled when my phone started getting signal again
