Transition festival is held between the 5th and 9th of Apri, 2012 in a national park, in Almonde, Spain (close to Seville). It is one of the first big European festivals this summer, and a perfect getaway, especially for us living up north, by then craving some sunny warm weather, after the long grim winter.
This festival is organized partly by the people behind German label BMSS records. Therefore it is not surprising to see many of their talented artists perform at the festival for example Hypnocoustics, Multiman and label DJs Boom Shankar and Yan Gecko. So one can expect a lot of melodic psy on this festival. Other artists sure to satisfy your ears, mind, soul and feet on the mainfloor are oldschool-goa act Total Eclipse; Lucas from Tip Records, Aphid Moon and Tantrix from excellent label Blue Hour Sounds. Also playing are Elegy, Phasephour and DJ Daksinamurti, the rest of the lineup is filled with for me not so known live-acts and DJs which I´m sure are still going to be interesting to hear. The line-up for the chill-floor is not yet completed, guessing by the size of it ( and the chill-out opening already on Wednesday evening for early people arriving early). But Aes Dana and Entheogenic are of course two great artists that will draw a crowd.
So, the festival gates open @ 10pm on Wed the 4th and the opening ceremony will take place on the main-floor @ exactly 10.22 pm on Thurs evening the 5th of April. Tickets at the moment go as low as 40 Euro, however they will only be 50 Euro at the gates, so not much more expensive and well worth the price for what seems to be a really amazing festival. Here is a video from last year:
Except for music to dance and chill to, there will be other activities to participate in such as lectures, massage, meditation and a lot more to satisfy the mind, body and the soul. Transition festival also has a children area, a market area and there will be multiple performances of various kinds. Finally DJ Boom Shankar has put together a little playlist on his soundcloud presenting some of the artists in this years edition of Transition festival. So if you want a taste of the music before deciding if to go or not just have a listen. See you in Spain!
