FESTIVAL REVIEW
Shivaneris Easter Festival
Between the days 18 and 21 of April, happened
one more edition of one great festival of Brazil,
Shivaneris Easter Festival, at Monte Mor, São
Paulo. The first edition was a success and the
second wouldn’t be different.
This year the festival came with a lot of news,
starting for the sustainability. The project Tree
Planter encourages the plant and donation of
seeds and trees. The speeches about bio-construction talked about people concern and take
care of the environment. The festival had one
relaxing area in the Cure Space. The public had
acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, Aura Reading,
massage, stretching and yoga.
The new generation of Psytrance festivals had
one space with songs and histories. Shivaneris
Easter Festival had artistic interventions with
body painting, belly dancers, clowns and
pirofagia.
Let’s talk about the lineup. The main floor
had a lot of great artists playing Goa Trance,
Psytrance,and Progressive Trance.
In the first morning of the festival happened
one versus between Rica Amaral and DJ Inê, was
one of the best moments! Other great artists of
The ChidClub was the area where played House and Techno, with names like Bad Boss; Flowbox;
Gabriel Boni; Pat Persi, the paralel project of DJ Kitty; Yan Brauer, and others... In the Chill Out, wouldn’t
be different, the highlight was the veteran Rica Amaral, big responsible for the publicizing of Underground Music. The moment of his set was beautiful and a lot of people got on trance. It’s always a pleasure to be present in this festival that already is in my heart. This holyday was full of peace and love.
Goa Trance played over there, to name some:
TheGreen Nuns of The Revolution, Psychowave,
and Goastral.
In the Psytrance highlight for Ital; The Big Bang;
the union of Ital and DJ Pedrão; Labirinto; the
Greek Marios Makar; the British Dickster; Circuit
Breakers, the project of Dick Trevor and Gustavo Manfroni; the Brazilians Burn in Noise, Altruism, Abstract Sunrise, and Mack Sato.
In the Progressive Trance, one more time the
Greek Hi-Profile made everybody dance. The
energetic Serbian Zyce rocked the dance floor.
The Mexican DJ Moon shacked the dance floor
with her set and stage presence.
One of the most expected lives was Liquid Soul.
The Swiss played his beautiful melody in the
sunset on Sunday, and made the public nuts.
The Brazilian Vegas call the public attention with
his music and the remix of Nothing Else Matter,
of Metallica. At night highlight for Psymmetrix,
All vs Richie, and Dirty Saffi.
One big new was the Psychofreaks Stage, dedicated to people who like speed bpm. In the
