Reality Czech @ Simplon, Groningen (NL)

15-04-2006

23:00-08:00

Welcome to the Reality Czech!

After some time off to gather our thoughts and energies, BooM! Records is back on track and ready to party :D

This year is our 10th anniversary as a record label and as party promoters, so we will be bringing you some more legendary nights of psytrance to remember.

Following the success of Czechpoint Goa 2 years ago, we decided to give this party a Czech theme and an international lineup. The venue is once again Simplon which is probably the best equipped venue in Groningen, boasting 2 seperate dancefloors plus a cafe (with Martin audio!), friendly staff and a late finish of 08.00 making it possible for us to concentrate on a top lineup and visuals.

Here is an introduction to the liveact and djs:

Live: Principles of Flight

Principles of Flight are a dynamic young duo from Paris. A quote from their website:”The Principles of Flight project was born from the will to redesign the approach of psychedelic trance music. Greatly inspired by film scores and classical music, P.O.F. perfectly merge emotive classical themes with smashing dancefloor beats. Their constant experimentation in sound design and track construction bring P.O.F.'s music to another level. Their powerful breaks along with twisted psychedelic sounds and leads create unique atmospheres, perfectly fitted for night time dancers”. Their album and DVD are being released this month by Elektrotribe Records. For an extra treat, you can see a video animation and preview of the album here. We cant wait to hear these guys live!

Dj Aurora (Maia Recs, Sweden/UK)

Dj Aurora is not technically a dj, she is a djane! Playing as a label dj for Maia Records (Mexico), Fia was born in Sweden and is currently living in the UK. No stranger to BooM! parties, she has played for us on several occasions and was very well received at one of our Cosmic Trip Ship parties. Expect a bouncy and groovy set full of surprises. Read more about her antics here.

Dj Cymoon (Inpsyde Media/Sonic Distortion, Czech Rep.)

Cymoon is a true pioneer in Prague, one of the hippest cities at the moment with a vibrant underground scene. Part of the Sonic Distortion Crew, a label dj for Inpsyde Media and the founding member of the superb online resource psytrance.cz, he has been dj-ing for a decade already. To quote the man himself:”Night trance from full dark psychedelic to tech trance predominates, but morning tunes from progressive uplifting to wild full-on have a place in my dj sets as well.” See his dj page for a top ten, downloadable sets and more info over his past parties.

Dj Rob (BooM! Recs/Sick Records /NL)

Rob is one of the new generation of label djs for BooM! Records and also spins for Sick Records. He has been a dj since the year 2000, and has played on several parties in different countries, including: Mexico, Macedonia, Belgium and The Netherlands of course. His style is between atmospheric, powerful and deep groovy to melodic, uplifitng full-on psychedelic. Recently he has started producing his own tracks, so expect to hear these in his set too. Apart from being a dj, he also designs flyers and other psychedelic graphic artwork, including the flyer and poster for this event.

Dj Lurk (Sonic Dragon/BooM! Recs, UK)

Lurk is well known from BooM! parties and other parties here in Holland. He studied here in Groningen several years back and Groningen was a second home to him. Now living back in the UK, he is a party animal with a great sense of humour who never fails to entertain on parties. He was also one of the founding members of the infamous Hoi Pol Loi crew giving parties in Amsterdam over the past few years. Some info from their site:”Since Lurk last dj'd in Amsterdam over a year ago, he has played club gigs in the UK, outdoor gigs in India and plenty of both in Australia, as well as having a regular guest slot on Sydney's biggest, independent radio station. He has supported acts like Eskimo, Protoculture, SunControlSpecies, Fractal Glider, Misted Muppet and Legohead.”

You can read more on his dj page here. Lurk is a label dj for both BooM! and Sonic Dragon these days... Enjoy the killer tuneage!

Dj Mol'sHope (Off My Trolley, NL)

Dj Erzo (Off My Trolley, NL)

Dj SuperGroover (Off My Trolley, NL)

Dj Snaporama (Off My Trolley, NL)

Our upstairs room is dedicated to the next generation of psy djs from Groningen. Many of you will know these names from the forum Soma-Natesa and you will certainly know their faces from parties in the city! Recently they joined forces as the organisation “Off My Trolley” to bring us a brilliant night at the Puddingfabriek: Insected Bushroom! See the lineup and flyer here. The guys are also regulars at the months Psy Kult cafe held at the Kult in Groningen, and SuperGroover has just returned from a break in South America which was a great source of inspiration to him. I'm sure we will be seeing all of them them trancing out dancefloors all over Groningen this year. If you havent registered already, head over to Soma-Natesa and register, its a great resource for all the Goa freaks in Grunn!

Deco by Cybofunk

The decos blew everyones minds last time, as I am sure they will once more on this party. Cybofunk was once part of the Fluorobotanics team but have now set up their own deco team: czech out their website. Full fluoro hand produced decos of very high quality will turn the venue into a trippy paradise for all :) Have a look at some of the backdrops and see some more info over this team on their site here.

Visuals by Closed Eye Visions

Vj Barth will be adding to the general trippiness with his usual blend of colourful vj projections on the big screens in Simplon. Barth needs no further intorduction as he has been vjing as part of the BooM! team since we first started giving parties. It never ceases to astonish us how he can keep the visuals coming from start to finish without ever getting tired of it. An average dj set is just 2 hours, but Barth will amuse you all for 8 hours straight... Be amazed, be very amazed!

As a special treat we will be giving 25 free cds out to the first 25 people to arrive at the venue on the night. This will be our latest compilation #Rehashed#,

you can read more about it on our main site here. For this event and future events we will be running the usual party mailinglist: dont forget to add your name now. The 50th person who adds their name this time will be in for a nice surprise: we will be giving a unique gift pack of 10 BooM! cds and some BooM! stickers to them, to be collected at the party :)
