THANK YOU to EVERYONE for helping us respect this venue and keep things clean! Was awesome to have over 10 people or so helping clean towards the end, moving chairs, vacuuming carpets, wiping down bathrooms, picking up bottles and cans, etc.

We truly appreciate the help and respect that our attendees are giving us, so keep it Goa'n!

As for the venue: WOA. Did not expect deco to enhance the venue as much as it did! I had already thought the place was beautiful, but to have a collaboration of Mindoutpsyde and ATLPsy deco scattered about, this building was transformed into a colorful gathering of our two Tribes!

As for the artists / performers: Excellent work by all, on both stages! So much great mixing going down on both stages, and the live performances were even more exceptional.  Unfortunately we had some delays getting the sound set up, so Androcell and bTsunami were unable to give their 7pm performances (Androcell and Distant System performed again later). we will definitely make up for this next time, sorry Ben!  Knew I would be groovin' out to Androcell, but had no idea to only groove harder for his second project, Distant System. absolutely amazing styles of sound, both so similar, both so different. This man has talent, and surely will continue to travel this planet sharing his music. The ATLPsy DJs tore the place up! From Michael Currans powerful yet melodic style, to Puskara and Moksa's relentless dark frequencies, these guys got the dance floor Churning, and after seeing them all perform, I finally understand why ATLPsy has left the crater of impact that they have in the United States. The Ooze was exceptional as usual, although I got to hear more of their set at Separation Anxiety, these guys never cease to amaze me with their every-growing depth of sound and richness of quality audio production. These guys are truly becoming a gelatinous mass of life, oozing throughout our aural canals as their sounds penetrate our cerebral cortex. Trevor and Chris dominated the decks as well, bringing forth the morning twilight beats. High energy!!! Airyck cleaned house shortly after, whipping everyone remaining within vicinity of the dance floor into a final stompathon leading up to the end of the party at 7am. The Chill stage was also quite the happening place, as Agent-Hurt and Machi tore it up, really getting things going early on, Androcell / Distant System tore it up (both times), Damon tore it up, and Optic Mind sealed the deal. Nothing but soothing, mentally-rejuvinating sounds coming out of this stage. and combined with the cooling effect of the venues giant class wall, this area served as an area for rest and proper relaxation. great vibes on both stages! AMAZING!

Clean up: We rocked the house boys and girls, WE as in our Collective Psytrance Family! We rocked it during set up, we rocked it during the party, and we rocked it during clean up, thanks to the genuine care of others, and their respect for the event and the venue. Things went quick, smooth, and painlessly, and the venue was in tip-top shape when we finally left before Church attendees began to show up, around 7:45am.

If i missed anyone with the ThankYous, dont take offense, because you know that I know ya, and I know what youve done for us, and for that I am not only appreciative, but genuinely grateful, to have you in our family. Encourage your friends to get into the Mindoutpsyde.com forums, as it is a great new way to meet friends from the event, share pictures from the event, and keep in touch as we prepare for the next event.

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN EVERYBODY, its only up from here, and expect more help with awesome venues from the University of Iowa in the future! We already got one cookin' for April, so stay tuned!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! to all trancers, may the music keep all of us connected over great distances as we each travel our individual paths through this enchanted Universe. Although we are separated by great spaces, we are brought together by this music, which merges our energies, our consciousnesses, our spirits, to dance as one in celebration and appreciation of existence.  Thank you for enriching our events, and our (Mindoutpsyde's) lives, with your presence and being.

Mindoupsyde- you guys continue to impress with your amazing party-throwing abilities!!!  Each one has truly been bigger and better than the last.  You guys somehow continue to outdo all expectations.  The music was wonderful throughout the entire night.  The decor was just amazing, awesome to see so many new works of art up.  It was awesome to finally meet some people I had seen at parties, but never introduced myself to- JeffZ, Cory, Alien Audience, Cosmic Vibrations, Airyck, Erik.  It was great to meet all of the ATLPsy guys- hopefully see you guys out at Gemini and if not, at World Bridge.  This event was such an awesome idea to connect the tribes.

The main stage was great.  Abe played some powerful beats to get things started.  Nate, way to lay down the melodic madness!  Curran played some wonderful music, powerful, progressive, heavy, just pure positive vibes.  Puskara threw down some dark stuff at the perfect time.  Ooze was amazing, it was neat to hear a track that Nick told me he worked on some with Scott.  Moska was my favorite set of the night.  I love the intro track he played with the resident evil sample at the beginning, his whole set was journey through pumping basslines and wicked sounds.  Alien Audience and Chris threw down an awesome tag set.  My legs were hurtin already, but the music did not allow me to stop stomping.  It was great to finally catch one of Airyck's morning sets, which definitely lived up the the hype (it was so good he even tripped the breaker on the subs 🙂 ).  I caught parts of people's sets on the chill stage and there was an equally amazing vibe there.  Nick (once he got the equipment set up 🙂 ) did a great job.  Machi laid down some beautiful trance.  Abe has some killer phat beats as well.  Like Abe said, once Androcell switched over to Distant System, it was truly a mind bending experience.  I have never heard such good chill before.  I will definitely be picking up his new album.  Damon of course rocked it out with a wide array of groovy beats.  Optic mind did a great job of closing out the night with some relaxing tracks.

Thank you once again mindoutpsyde for an amazing time.  You are all such awesome people and I feel truly blessed to know every one of you.

Great job, MOP!
We didn't arrive untill after midnight… Venue was perfect with relaxed staff. Deco worked well, adding psy flourishes to an already impressive structure. Musical sets were mostly excellent. Definitely got some dancing in!
My biggest complaints were in sound: The chill stage was too quiet and the trance stage was too loud, particularly the lowend. I don't know if it was the subs, or the room, or what. DJ sets were all stellar. Androcell was awesome.
Thanks for bringing him out, MOP.
Thanks to Abe, Chris, Nick and everyone who made the party happen. Was also good to chat with Sarah, Brian, Scott, and JeffZ, met some new people, and hang with the Polish chill out crew from Chicago. Good times!

Great times! That venue is awesome, but need some stained glass on the windows, too much clear glass for a building that beautiful :p

I mainly hung out in the chill area. Quasga took me on a full journey in ecstatic dance to a deep meditation and up through my subconscious to consciousness again, refreshed. Wow, been a bit and much needed!

I thought the tapestries were nice but you guys have spoiled me with more, so more deco like you all used to do would be awesome. Unfortunately I don't have time to devote to making that happen so hope we manifest deco people in the near future 😀

Wonderful seeing everyone!

Whew, definitely worth the trip!  Thanks to Machi and Alex for the ride down, and Phil and Anita for the ride back!  To MoP, you guy's run a tight ship and I always feel comfortable coming down to groove with you guy's.  I think the fact that we had a naked dude who thought he was God and created psytrance to save us was just…special I will say, luckily I did not have to see said hairy sweaty mans man-bits.  The music was once again Ideal for the moment, chill stage was definitely the place to be, Androcell/Distant System creates such beautiful sounds and I consider myself lucky to have been there.

Anyone took pics of this dude?  ;D

Re: your pre-edit complaints – you should talk to Mr. T. Smith about it  😉

I consider myself lucky as well, since I totally missed that dude. Funny!

Finally recovered to write my review. What an awesome party. New venue with a complete new vibe and feel to it. Brilliant deco by all who did it 🙂

It was great to finally meet the whole ATL Psy crew though I had met Moksa at Gemini last year. What a great set of people. Was awesome to chill with Puskara at the vending place. Great to finally Androcell aka Tyler. Got to meet some new peeps as well as some old ones whom I have not met for quite some time.

Music: Everybody was spot on. Entered the venue when Abrahm was playing. Love his uplifting music. Heard him for half an hour and then wandered around meeting people and having discussion. Fat-Matchi played some totally awesome danceable tunes. Grooved to it for some time. Entered the main stage again with Michael Curran playing. Good groovy and funky stuff. Then came Puskara. Hahaha……fast, edgy, dark and taking your psyche to next level music. Totally reminded me of Nick of MoP. Ooze as usual were twisting. Even though I have heard them like for every month in last 1.5 yrs, their music as always was new and refreshing. Igors last 15 minutes…..wow!!! Icing on the cake….. Moksa continued from where ooze left. Good job buddy. Then came on Iowa crew for next 2 hours….good powerful and melodious morning tunes. Was great dancing to it.

BTW, I finally managed to force myself to be in the chill stage for more then 15 minutes when Androcell was playing. Awesome music. I am not a big chill fan but I loved whatever was being played. Would try to spend some more time on Chill from next time…..

In the end, awesome party. Great venue and great deco. It was nice to see that people respecting the venue. The venue looked stone cold spot clean when I left. Having a streakers was FUN 🙂 Only happens in IOWA!!!

I have uploaded my set of pics at: http://mindoutpsyde.com/gallery/Tribe_Connection/ If any of you took pictures at the party please mail it to me at riteshn AT gmail DOT com and I will add them to our gallery.

Till next time…….

amazing party, & my first outside-of-IL party ever. great vibes, great to see people respecting the new venue (with one minor exception which i'm sure got taken care of). 😀 it's pretty hilarious that we totally partied our asses off in the iowa sports hall of fame  ;D

it was great meeting all the wonderful people i did. ANDROCELL was mind-blowingly great (lots of time spent playing in the blacklight), as was primordial ooze's live PA (which i didn't see as much of as last time, because i wanted to catch androcell/distant system). collision rocked out, hardkornate was a treat… whoever it was playing that morning set, it was BEAUTIFUL.

it was pretty great (& humorous) seeing everyone help out to clean up before the sunday church service. as ora said, “we finished our church service, now it's time for theirs”. too bad i missed the streaker ;D

the decor was cool, coulda been more but the truth is, just pulling this party off was an amazing feat, HUGE props to the MOP crew & everyone else involved. another beautiful learning experience for me, can't wait for the next.

love,
leo

p.s. more pix please! :]

whoever it was playing that morning set, it was BEAUTIFUL.

Thats Airyck…our man for melodious morning 🙂

Thats Airyck…our man for melodious morning 🙂

He played great set this time – no cheese  ;D

[HARDKORNATE]

Awesome times guys 🙂

In case anyone was wondering – everything worked out better than ok for me and the little accident that happened ended up being the best thing ever 😀 I'm glad I didn't end up being “god”, too 😛

Everyone kicked ass, but I'd give the gold star awards to the Ooze, Puskara, Moksa, and Michael Curran this time(in that order.)

[aktif]

Oozes' gold stars sure are racking up  😀 !

Amazing time, review comming very shortly!
