Come to visit one of the Best psytrance scenes in the World

The Brazilian scene was once the biggest trance scene in the world, it has a large number of parties and festival from north to south all over the year. famous by its biggest festival at the beaches of Bahia, but way more than that, this country has a lot of parties of all kinds psytrance stiles variations from off-beat to dark to offer and change a lot in the last few years after house music became the new trend, taking a large number of people from the trance scene, seams like after all the brazilians were not so trance freaks, but party freaks.

But even loosing big producers and DJs to the house music like Gabe (Wrecked Machines and Dj Marcelo VOR) the scene survive and start to grow again, new artists, new party crews are starting and many festivals are getting better and better, starting by Universo Paralelo the legendary festival at the beaches of Bahia state, last edition was by far the most well produced, Vagalume crew nail it big time. In April we had the Mundo de oz festival in São Paulo, beside a beautiful waterfall, with a real good production and many international names, the festival was very successful also breaking they record of party freaks, was the biggest edition so far. In September was the time for the classic Samsara festival in Uberlandia city, Minas Gerais state, the dance floor is in the middle of huge trees and they brought a international deco crew Looney moon from Italy witch made a big difference on terms of what we had going on usually here, the line up was amazing with a lot of international and national talented artists.

In October was the Revolution festival turn, down south at Lages city, Santa Catarina State, this is another festival that grows each year and improve it’s quality, beautiful locations around the hills beside a lake, it’s a meeting place for many deco crews and artists collectives witch make this festival one of the most cultural, also a good chance to go down south brazil for a completely different picture of the country culturally and geographically. The parties are happening constantly all over the year by all over the country now only outside but also in clubs, recently in Curitiba, we had TribalTech party, with 11 stages and more than 20 000 people, the production brought the Vuuv festival crew from Germany and art scape deco from South Africa to produce the Psy trance stage, art scape is same deco from Boom festival, was like a festival inside a party, high quality stage with a quadraphonic sound system never seem here b4, the trance stage was organized by Dm7 bookings, a new artist agency in Brazil.
