@psilopsyben – Chill / Downtempo stage is meant for just that. We do not want psy played on that stage, and therefore, we have not booked any Psy-only djs for this stage.

I don't know where you've been the last few years, but I AM a psy only dj.  In fact, I don't think I'm really psy, I try to push dark to the extreme everytime I play.  It's almost techno/hardcore if you really think about it.

We can do psybreaks or prog whatever, but my specialty as evidenced by all but one or two of my mixes on audiognomes.com is the real down and dirty dark stuff, darker than anything I've heard at a Mindoutpsyde party (Arahat got real close from what I've heard). Andy, lets just say he takes a shine to fullon that drifts to the darker side. We'd really just like to come down and tear it up on the psy stage sometime and return the favor that you, Hurt and Aktif did for us on NYE. I'm not saying we wont come out and enjoy ourselves, but having the Gnomes of Destruction come and play progressive/psybreaks is like having Doormouse come out and having him play Happy Hardcore. It'd be a hell of a set (and probably hillarious), but you won't see the artist perform their best with their full attention.
As I said, we're gonna come out and play and play our best, have some fun and all, but honestly it's not our main style of music.

please enjoy your timeslot.  youre right, all you can do is the dark dark dark stuff, and nothing else.  if we were to put you on at 9, itd be the same set you would play at 2am.  we firmly believe in a flow, and djs that can accomodate to that progression.  if you havent noticed, our parties have headliners.. we fly people in from all over and lose our asses almost every time.  we fill the mainstage timeslots with the headlining acts we fly in, usually live pa's.  when there is space, we place ourselves there because we put so much work, time, and money into it.  we dont have space for midwest acts at peak times, because of how we book our parties.  dont be offended by it.  itd also be nice to actually see you at an event you werent playing at for once.  thats how this scene works.  energy = playtime. 

so what do you and andy want to play?  chill or breaks?  keep me posted. 

Pysowa is the only place in the Midwest that has consistently pushed the boundaries of sound that has been played. From Mubali to Wichdokta to Ocelot to Bodhisattva..the quality and variety of sound along with the vibe that has been presented is what keeps me coming back..

This crew has done something rare in getting people from all over the US and not just the midwest and thats exactly whats Pros do..I cant even say that they do mainly Dark trance anymore which used to be my major crib with them..lol..They are now putting Chill on a new level with Androcell being booked..I so wanted to come see Androcell and EgBot but work has left me with little time and I have been kicking myself for not being able to come to the last one..

To the Psyowa crew..you guys are going a great job in these gatherings and your vision is well directed..Keep bringing quality headliners and artists with multiple dimensions of music.. thats what keeps the minds guessing in every gathering..What am I in for this time??:)!!
The next step for Psyowa is to throw a festival with the same vision that makes it special..and I am sure that will come soon..

The problem with psychedelic trance is it stops being psychedelic if you listen to the same stuff too many times..keep it fresh and varied..My 2 cents..

My question is whether Matt was utilized for the party or not? I thought Skroller would have pointed out his talents to you before and I also had the chance to meet him during rave r treat..seems to be very skilled at what he does..what do you think?

[famiable]

I will be taking my car on saturday evening about 7 pm and we have space for 2 more people..looking forward to this one!!:)

[famiable]

no alcohol or smoking inside, period.

Ins/outs possible then?

What are the rules for smoking and beer drinking at this gathering assuming that the building is a non smoking one..

hopefully there is a back area outside where it will be ok to do both??:P not that I plan to get drunk ..lol

Matt seems to have pretty amazing talent for deco after seeing his work:)!!

How did this talent stay hidden through Satisfied though?? ::) ??? 😮 ;D

[famiable]

I think you just might have given Nate an ORGASM!!:)

[famiable]

The concept of SPL levels is alien to Nate:)..
unless you can have a stack of speakers covering a whole wall for him to see..
he will maintain his stance that the sound was not enough..!!

The Minneapolis Wall of Bass is firmly engraved in his mind forever..lol:)

He also does not care whether he can hear 10 years from now it seems from
his statement about needing earplugs.. ??? ::) 😮 ;D

Due to irreconcilable time conflicts, I will not be attending the Audiognomes NYE party.

Had an amazing time in Psyowa the other day..we got lost for 45 mins due to fog..but what a time we had when we got there…:)

Thanks to Abe, Nick and Chris for their hospitality..As I have already said before..you  are lucky to have the space and the energy from the open hearted psyowans:) great vibes from all the people dancing..intimate as it can get..Blake, Mallory and Ben..it was a pleasure dancing with you again..hope to see you guys soon when Jordan gets back from India..

Aircyk's set was very intense and healing at the same time..danced my ass off..he just coming back with more relentlessly..I hope to get the tracklist from you man..!!:) this one should be recorded so that more people are able to enjoy the journey!

Happy NYE to everyone in advance..This coming year will be a a gr8 year for psy in Iowa I hope.

LOL..its nice to see psyowa responding to the requests of the regular psy crowd:) Looking forward to the headliners in this one!!

Ahhh…..a non dark party!! WHOOT WHOOT!!! I can't wait!!

Nothing against some dark psy, but it's nice to get down to some bad ass melodic full on once in a while.  ;D  Especially with the stinkin weather.

It'll be just what the Doctors ordered!!  hehehehe :-X

Dr Evil and Dan Efex are a great combo for the night!! Hope this night blows up with energy:)
