Mysteryland review - a Canadian perspective
Just got back from a 2 week adventure in Belgium & Holland and I have to say that any of you TAs that haven't been to the Netherlands should check it out at least once in your life.
I went to clubs in Rotterdam, den Haag, and Amsterdam but Mysteryland took the cake. Not only was the lineup out of this world but the organization involved with this huge party was really impressive. Security was laid back and water & food were obtained easily. The only thing I could complain about would be that it was 'too big' in that it was difficult to see all the djs I wanted to. I wasn't used to that since our parties max out at a few thousand.
As for the content, I saw a bit of Scott Bond and Gielen, Cosmic Gate (amazing), Dumonde (really impressed with them), Rank 1, AVB, Ferry Corsten, Olav Basoski, DJ Joop (a popular upcoming dutch dj who I never heard of before Mysteryland), West Bam, Marco V, DJ Astrid, and finished it off with Mauro Picotto who played an amazing set under the moonlight. I really only saw Dumonde's and Mauro Picotto's full sets but it was worth it. I spent a little bit of time in the UK Garage tent as well.
I was disappointed I didn't get to see Hennes & Cold, Anne Savage, Kai Tracid and Sven Vath but like I said, it was really hard to change tents all the time. The people I met there were pretty cool and actually suprised when I told them I was from Canada...even a few of them went out of their way to make sure I enjoyed myself. I only encounted one crackhead at the end of the night who basically collapsed and started rambling on about Muslims and penguins in jibberish. his friend picked him up so he was alright...
And the girls...models as far as the eye could see! I wish cameras were allowed!
By far the best party I've been to..
