Not only trance was well represented but any sub culture and music style. We had lots of fun on other parties as well, like inside a huge dome tent construction close to the CCC camp. This dome experienced a methamorphosis into an undescribable world of wildly moving bodies celebrating a Breakbeat and Drum’n’Bass party. The power felt, the disguised folks dancing with each other, the sexyness and the fire on the huge flambeaux inside the dome along with the breakbeat sounds of DJ Lorin and freq nasty will stay unforgettable.
Burning Man! You will shake your head every single day, and compare your experiences to our parties and open air events here... and take off to new adventures in Black Rock City. Imagine a city with three dozen radio stations, two printed newspapers, a bicycle repair shop, a post office, wireless Internet, a Department of Motor Vehicles, a large cafe etc. – but no garbage collection! What that? Just because there is no need for it. With it’s plain simple matra-like rules "pack it in, pack it out", "leave no trace" or "don't let it hit the ground“a this city functions very well for a week in a way unknown to us. Nothing is being left behind on the white desert floor and all are part of this – while the visitors of European festivals dump their waste right where it is produced. And lots of it.

And lots of it.Well, this was one of the most powerful experiences from Burning Man – the community. Just to give you another example: we had the pleasure to enjoy – no joke! - clean toilets for the full length of this one week event. It was not due to a regular cleaning cycle – European party organizers can provide that as well – no, people simple contributed to this and left the spot in a way they themselves wish to find it later. 25,000 people that didn’t know each other!
After a few days oneself and all around have the same color of shoes and hair – due to the paya dust. A message has arrived in one’s brain. Nothing about music, all the performances, Burning Man... no, it’s about community, many bodies one mind, and the things that connect us. We have lots of stuff to learn here and things that we can improve. Join us for the next Burning Man festival and see for yourself: the FUN will be yours!
