FESTIVAL REVIEW
FESTIVAL REVIEW
Shivaneris is a festival that really appreciate
Goa Trance. Goa has the roots of electronic
music and sometimes people forget about it in
Brazil.
I started to listen Goa thanks to Shidapu. After
I met his project of Progressive Trance called
MUTe, he introduced me his main project.
Shivaneris was a dream that became true! I met
Goa Trance in 2012, but it has a big place in my
heart, sharing space with Psychedelic Trance,
that made me fall in love with Trance. Goa is a
very spiritual sound!
The main floor also had a lot of Psychedelic
Trance. Highlight for Avalon and Sonic Species.
The Psychedelic Trance from England is the
best!
Highlight also for Ianuaria. He created one of
the best moments on the dance floor.
Shivaneris had great Brazilian projects, like: Via
Axis, Earthspace, Gabriel Vlainich.
DJ Shove and The Remember Trance played
great sets, in the best style Old is Gold!
Another great project was Fabio Leal. He plays
Progressive Dark Trance.
The presentation of Shidapu was the highligth
of the festival. Roy Sason plays with a lot of passion. Everybody that was on the dance floor felt
this emotion. The public was so emotioned that
they wrote Goa on the floor. I never felt so happy before! It was an odd moment and I would
give everything just to live it again.
Shivaneris had great projects of Goa Trance,
like: DJ Inê, Psychowave, Marcelo Dih...
Highlight also for Rabbit On Purple, the parallel
project of Ianuaria.
The main stage also had a lot of Progressive
Trance. Other special moment was thanks to
Roy, the back of his project MUTe. I dreamed
with this moment since 2012. I met his project
in my first festival. MUTe is the best project of
Progressive Trance of nowadays. I had such a
great trip, I felt like the first time I was on the
dance floor. I need a time machine just to go
back to that moment.
Talking about projects from Israel, other great
presentation was Vini Vici.
The festival had great Brazilian projects, like:
Vegas, Element, Max Grillo vs V. Falabella, Tom
S. Chillin.
Highlight for Future Frequency, the project of
Avalon and Sonic Species.
The festival also had the Psychofreacks stage.
There was the place of high bpm playing Dark
and Hi-Tech. I thought it was a nice idea, because usually people create a division in the
festivals. When the Dark Trance starts to play
in the Main Floor, the people that doesn’t like
go way, and the people who likes keep waiting
only for that moment.
A place where I spent a lot of time was the Chill
Out. The ambient had a lot of good energy and
nice music. I never spent so much time in one
Chill Out before.
Besides great music, the festival had a lot of
nice activities. The Kids Stage teached the kids
how to play trance.
The festival had yoga and massage.
I liked the idea of exchange books. Yes, that’s
right! A festival can be a place of reading.
The public was beautiful and happy. A mix between adults, pregnants, babies, kids and dogs.
Everybody were welcome!
Shivaneris was more than a festival! It was an
odd living in my life, that I waited for so long.
The best days of my life!
