    I was just out to visit the venue and was blown away by it's beauty. I'd forgotten how great it is since the last time I was there. It's the grounds of a mansion in an old growth forest. There's tons of space for camping, vending, chill domes, dancing, and burning a giant effigy. The property is surrounded by a beautiful creek. And the mansion itself is amazing. We'll be warm and dry as we dance the night away–that is unless you decide to go swimming in the indoor pool. There's also a sauna and space to hang out inside.

    We're working on a 15' effigy to burn Saturday night. Two stages of music. There will be free bodywork in the chill space. Fire performances. Go-go dancers. Live painting. Did I mention the indoor pool? Vending by Asase Yaa, the Smoker's Den, and more. We event have a partially covered dancefloor for the outdoor trance stage so even if it rains you can dance outside and stay dry.

    Thanks.

    The venue is amazingly beautiful.  The photos don't even do it justice. 

    And Shawn Sabot of Digital Dreams gets all the credit for the flyer. 

    I also want to remind everyone that we will have sheltered dancing and chillout areas inside and out so even if it does rain a little we will keep you warm and dry.  We have the best of all worlds with this venue as we will be able to enjoy the beauty of being out in nature and dancing under an open sky as well as having plenty of covered outdoor space.  On top of that we have a beautiful mansion to play in.  And there will be an indoor dancefloor (right next to the indoor pool–seriously) going all night.

    For those of you who haven't gotten pre-sales and are waiting till the last minute to get your tickets (or who don't have a credit card to buy online with) we are reducing the price of the tickets at the door to $30. Still cheaper to get em in advance ($25 at http://www.embracethelight.org/anotherworld if you order before the event), but we want you to make it out rain or shine so we've dropped the door price to entice you.

    And Damon as far as the flier goes, it's not a typo.  We play music for mellow insects.

    Had a great time at this party.  Venue was incredible.  Really enjoyed rocking out in the mansion.  Dan Efx and Aerosis brought the place to a climax that was unexplainable.  Great to do the transition from dark to light.  One of my favorite times to play.  From the dj booth it was hard to see how many people were enjoying the tunes, but I know they were out there.  Big thanks to Eddy and Anand for bringing us all together.  Blacklight go go dancers in the mansion was perfect for Dan's set.  Interesting vibe going from cold outdoor stage after the amazing burn ceremony to warm inside venue til morning.  Strooya and Machi played amazing stuff in the morning.  Really fun hanging out with you guys.  Thanks to Vikas for great company on the road.  Definitely a new life long friend.  All the time spent driving was totally worth it.  Embrace the Light puts on a great production.  A lot of different elements were very well thought out.  And they fed us twice.  Great hospitality!  If anyone is interested you can listen to my mix from this show at…

    Yes, it has been a while since this event took place, but I've been very very busy lately and I've had too much going on to find time to sit down and get a good grasp of everything that happened… but now I have found some time!! a 40 minute break in between classes haha… so here I go.

    We arrived late on Friday night after picking up Bobby from the Airport. We were greeted by Eddy and many friendly individuals, including the owner (can't remember his name..). The place looked awesome and it was nice to hang out inside and in the tree fort with some cool people 🙂 After some chillin we got to sleep in a nice comfy bed for the night. The next morning/afternoon was really chill and relaxing, people were slowly showing up, vibe was growing, people were gathering in small task groups to help set up things. Everyone was very well prepared things seemed to move pretty smoothly. Got to enjoy a very dynamic range of genres and tunes outside, It was different than most parties in progression at this point but was interesting and definitely engaging. I didn't spend much time dancing really until it started to get dark out then I did a little boogyin and bouncin here and there. Chill stage (dome) was great all weekend, loved the environment in there! Great workz guyzzz. The wookie tent was SUPER trippy to run/walk through (even while sober hah). I thought that was a pretty cool/unique idea. Al and I enjoyed a period of nostalgia pushing eachother on the swing, which was very interesting in combination with psytrance hah, I felt like I was really a little kid again. I can't thank the owners enough (and anyone else who contributed) for making us all food for the weekend, that was AWESOME! and it was deliciousssssssssss. The psychedelic Jam band was interesting… at first I didn't really like it, but then as they kept playing I realized that they were playing to the mood/vibe around them in general. They would (seemingly) randomly stop playing at times and let the sound resonate, and then do everyone would come in and add more and more over the top until the intensity level was through the roof and then cut it out just like that and smoothly transition to a new vibe. Very psychedelic stuff, awesomeness. As the night progressed I needed to retire to the tent for a while and chillax… totally forgetting that the burn was just about to take place. So I missed that which I was really disappointed that i did… I got to see some of the fire spinning projecting onto the mirrored screen projector dealy which was AWESOME…. but other than that I missed it all except for the screaming, oooing and Ahiiing and clapping and happy positive energetic vibes. This was the turn point I missed before the night was directed inside to Otherwordly atmospheres. I walked inside during Dan Efex's set and was immediately overwhelmed. Dark psychedelic techno trance is what i Heard! Sooooooo cool! never heard a style quite like that before and it was a treat. I could definitely SEE the impact the music was having on the people inside and the environment it created around all of us. Righteous. The pumpkin carving lady was crazy haha i've never seen that before. The dancefloor was epic, what a success. After Dan Efex, Bobby and I had a reaaaaaaaaaally reaaaaaaaally fun time playing the night time slot. We've never had that opportunity before and we were very happy with the result. Saw some really cool dancing/innovativeness going on down below; a lot of the people who were laying down upstairs seemed to have migrated downstairs to trance out or dance. The enclosed environment definitely amplified the intensity level of the music. Our best live set yet and it was a perfect environment to share it in. After this point I was pretty tired and cracked out, but I continued to stay awake and vibe the music, played a cool sunrise chill set outside (i'm curious what people in their tents (if they were there) thought of it) then kinda took some naps inside and chilled out the rest of the time until the party came to an end. All together, it was a really really really fun party! Awesome people/environment/vibes. The land was beautiful and so was the mansion. I look forward to partying at this location again with the same people (if not more!) 😀 AWESOME JOB EDDY AND ANAND! and all others who contributed! (IE. everyone!) Anand you were dearly missed at this party, and we miss you even more still, can't wait to see you sometime in the near future buddy!

    Thanks for the great reviews guys.

    We were really pleased with how this event came together.  So many people contributed to make it into the event that it was. 

    I want to say big thanks to my partners Anand (who helped put this on from India!–love you buddy), Camo Mike and Jarrin.  Without whom there is no Embrace the Light. 

    The credit for the delicious meals goes to Andie and Sarah Beth.  Who rocked out the kitchen and kept us fed. 

    Big thanks to Matt and Pachyderm Studios for hosting us.

    And of course all the DJs, musicians, artists, and performers who contributed to this event.

    As well as everyone who showed up and rocked out and made the magic happen. 

    I could go on and on, but I'd rather use my time to start planning our next event….

    You guys all rocked.
