To be honest, Goa's association with specific genres of trance and its alleged connections with drugs has tainted the name and heritage of such a massively wonderful city. It's not to say that a lot of it isn't just public perception and unfounded beliefs, but it needs some sort of change, some innovation to make it what it once was again (Not that it isnt great anyway, but stil)
The event sees people like John OO Fleming coming down as well the next day along with a whole host of other big name Dj's. Above and beyond may not be the best place to start, and I agree, they have pretty purposely garnered a lot of hype by choosing the particular name for their label, since Goa had nothing to do with the commercial trance that they make, and saying they are going back to the place where it all started just sounds funny coming from them, but it's obviously a marketing gimmick, and one that a lot of people are going to fall for. I'm going as well, for sure, not as much because of the party, but because there is absolutely nothing better in the world than to celebrate the end of the year on Anjuna or Baga or Calangute with tens of thousands of people all over the world, and if this event helps bring more people to Goa, and hopefully let them see and associate things with Goa on their own, then it cant be all bad.
