March 10 and 11 - Esoteric Music Festival

We woke up around 9 am, and got the glitter and costumes out. Luckily they have awesome food stalls here and free water refill stations to keep you going through the day. The weather today was like 90 degrees in the middle of the Australian bush. People had wild costumes, hairstyles, and dance moves and I couldn't get enough of it. Everyone was as sweet as ever and vibed together. The projectors on the stages had these intricate geometric details and there was a lot of black light to compliment it. the music was classified as psychedelic trance but it was a mix of house, techno, even some ragtime thrown in there with a live band which I’d never seen before for techno music. I loved every second of the music. For me, a special part is when the dj’s are switching and everyone cheers but no one introduces either DJ. It’s just a smooth, speechless transition and I don’t see that in many types of art. You won’t believe this but the music went all night, from 3 am when I went to bed straight until the next day people were up dancing the night away.

I could barely feel my legs when I went to bed because of all the dancing. You could feel every beat in your body because the sound just blasted through all the tents. Was hard to tolerate around 6 and 7 am, but that’s just part of the doof I suppose! We spent a lot of time with Joel's friend, Aoife, also!

In the morning we geared up for another wild day. I had a little too much vodka but I think that happens to the best of us :) Between hammocks, dirt, incredible beat drops, meeting new friends and trippy neon decorations, this place blew me awayyyyyy!!

We had to leave at midnight to take some dj’s to a night club event and we got to the night club at 4 am after almost running out of gas in the middle of no where. Most gas stations in the country close at midnight, so we really cut it close. The night club had cool vibes and I really liked Ranji’s set (an Israeli DJ). This was truly the day that never ended.
