Lysergic Asylum vs Psylence, Belgium, 28th of July
We finally arrived at Ghent on Friday evening, we had some trouble getting our visa for Russia so in the end we had to fly later than what we expected, this was sad as we were really happy to see all the Lysergic Asylum crew again and we wanted to spend more time with them. Dieter came to pick us up at the train station and he took us to his house and our host Dan, his brother and half of Dark Eco. We spent the night with them, Daan prepared delicious pasta :) , one thing that it's really amazing in Belgium is the hospitality, very gentle and calm people, they really know how to make you feel welcome. We relaxed until the next day while Daan and Bert prepared their live set, as you can see in the pictures, Dark Eco is full of hardware hehehe! they really do as much as they can live, really nice to see how they worked.
The day of the party came and we went to Brussels where Anthony from F.U.B.A.R picked us up, there we met Emilio from Skunks of Satan and his girlfriend both from Mexico and also with Dark Whisper, a german/italian dark artist. We travelled on his van to the party, great hippie caravan :). The location was very nice, it was a small castle next to a little river in the fields of Belgium, the weather was not very good, it was cloudy and raining once in a while, but the main dancefloor was indoor, so it was no problem. We met Lepton, Roelf and Rafael, it was very nice to see them again after one year! we met them by chance and now they were booking us, this for us was a real honor, as Lysergic Asylum is well known for their great dark parties. Also Sasha from Atriohm was there too, this for us was also amazing, as Atriohm is one of our favorite artists, it is very nice that people think we sound similar :).
The party started, we listened to L.A crew which is the progressive project of half of Dark Eco. Very nice sound, also very nice live set, they play with 2 Nordlead modulars, the sound is really amazing :). Then z1p played his live set as Frantic Noise, always very groovy with nice basslines, and then Lepton started his dj set, very good music but in a moment it was too fast for me, this also happened with Dark Whisper, too fast and heavy music, too much for me heheh, but it was amazing to see how the dutch people really enjoy this style, they dance all the time!. Then we went to hang out inside the castle and to get ready for our live set so we missed some artists of the line up, then we played our live set, the sound in the booth was good, so we had a good time playing. Then Atriohm did a very good dj set, a lot of nice stuff, derango, hallucinogenic horses, polyphonia, very nice music :). Then Dark Eco came, their more dark/forest stuff is very good, heavy synths and pounding basslines, watch out for this evil duo!.
Everything was going ok until Emilio from Skunks of Satan got a little bit crazy drinking and decided he wanted to play before his time, so this ended up in a very crazy situation, in the end Dark Eco got pissed and he stopped playing, but well it was not a very nice way of ending their live set. Emilio played for a while but he was way too drunk, it was a pity because his tracks are quite good, but well he managed to fuck the sound somehow, and they ended up unpluggin his stuff heheh, it was a quite strange situation, he is truly a mexican devil, full of energy but well alcohol is not good company. Then Makkura/Anthony started his dj set but the sound was fucked up, he played very good music but it was difficult for him to play like this. In the end the sound was ok, but well I was too tired and I went back inside the small castle to chill out.
We left the party together with Sasha from Atriohm and his host Yannick, we were very lucky to meet him, very nice guy, a dj and artist living in a town near Brussels called Leuven. He hosted us in his house, cooked us some food, and gave us a place to sleep. This is something incredible about the psyfamily, you get hospitality everywhere, really nice vibes :). Matias left to Portugal the day after and I stayed one more day hanging around Leuven with Yannick until I left on Tuesday for Turkey.
It was a very nice stay in Belgium, too bad it was so short! big hug to everyone over there and hope to see you next year!!!.
