Open your Mind- 11th of August, Moscow, Russia

We played for the first time in Russia on the 11th of August, we were contacted by Peter and we got booked for a party called Open your Mind, an outdoor event near Moscow. After a lot of trouble getting our visas, we finally got them 2 hours before our plane was leaving, we had to go the embassy with all our bags and we took a taxi from the embassy to the airport heheh, it was crazy but we made it and we entered Russia with no problem. There we met Peter and his friend and we hanged out for a while at their flat, then we went to the red square, it was really cool to see the Kremlin, it really looks like an alien building from another dimension, when i first saw it i had to smile, it was amazing, we also wanted to see Lenin but it was closed, so well maybe next time, if you ask me it is quite crazy to have a dead president on display hahah.

The next day we got ready and left for the party location, it was a nice forest like one hour away from Moscow, the party was small but the deco and sound was nice, the djs before played very nice music, but i really dont remember the name, but it was good groovy foresty psychedelic trance. we played both live sets in the morning which is always nice, we realized that in outdoor parties its great to play at dawn. We were really amazed by the quantity of vodka they drink hahah, a real Russian tradition haha, too bad that not a lot of people knew english, it was difficult to communicate, but always very funny to try. The party was nice but unfortunately there were very few people, so in the end the organizers ended up loosing money. We stayed very little in Moscow afterwards as our plane left on Sunday, so well we said goodbye to peter and we returned to Berlin to Ankur's place.
