Mexico
|
The United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos), commonly known as Mexico (Spanish: México), is a federal constitutional republic in North America. It is bordered on the north by the United States; on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by Guatemala, Belize, and the Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico is a federation comprising thirty-one states and a federal district, the capital Mexico City, whose metropolitan area is one of the world's most populous.
HistoryPsytrance started around 1995, but for most of the people it just all exploded a few years after. From small Goa parties the scene started to quickly build up a nice, groovy, trippy, mystical and unique atmosphere. In the lands where very strong pre-hispanic cultures once lived, the drum beats came back to seduce the Mexican ears and those beats came to stay forever. The boom of the scene was around 1998 – 2003; many of us have incredible memories of events around those years. The scene changed a lot afterwards; many new promoters who weren’t compromised with the scene appeared and started to organize huge events with no message in between. Cheap productions, younger crowds, fake line-ups and many other factors deeply affected the panorama. After the storm calms comes again, and seems like now more than ever Mexico is ready to show its best to the rest of the world. Mexico is more than tequila, mariachi, and sombreros: it’s about love, light and loads of fun.
[2010] Enjoy the warm colors of MEXICO
For many international DJ’s seems like Mexico is a spot that cant be missed in their calendar. Many of them even play more in Mexico than in their own country. I think they find not only a warm and cozy weather, but also a hot and loving crowd. After many years in the scene I can definitely tell you that Mexico accepted trance in a very particular way. Somehow we really got into it and it has been hard to us to let it go. For some of us it all started around 1995, but for most of the people it just all exploded a few years after. The boom of the scene was around 1998 – 2003; many of us have incredible memories of events around those years. The scene changed a lot afterwards; many new promoters who weren’t compromised with the scene appeared and started to organize huge events with no message in between. Cheap productions, younger crowds, fake line-ups and many other factors deeply affected the panorama. I would say that after 2003 we had more than 3 hard years, in those years the open air events came down (even when sometimes they gathered more than 8,000 people), the vibe was very different. But since 2006, with the hard work, faith and energy of many people (Deliria, Sounds of Earth, Trance – It, etc.) who didn’t give up, the things started to get better. I can clearly say that there are two different scenes, with different crowds, promoters and artists. There are huge events for more than 5000 people with commercial psy trance and popular names, in those events the crowd is really young, the production is quite cheap and the vibe on the dancefloor is very different. In the other hand, there are really good events with less than 3000 people where the crowd is not as young, the music is way much better and the vibe is so much better. In these events techno, progressive and minimal are bigger than trance. Seems like the crowd who used to be on psy completely developed into this genres. Don’t miss this years Radiance Festival edition if you are around. Outside of Mexico City the things are a little bit different, seems like many people and promoters are still into psychedelic trance. Unfortunately most of this trance is quite commercial and keep the same Israeli leads that we used to listen many years ago. Just a few promoters are into a more intelligent psy trance that usually comes from UK, Brazil, etc. In the North of Mexico some people are into faster genres like dark psy, etc. Talking about music, it is clear that Mexico has a lot to offer since some time. Excellent DJ’s and musicians come from Tacoland and are continuously delivering dancefloor bombs. Odiseo, Ecliptic, Tron, Signal Deluxe, Hamelin, Trancemission, Shove, Forza, Lamat, Visua, Sankha, Jabba, Fashion Viktims, Audio Hijack and many others are doing a great job. While Sounds of Earth, Undergroove Records and Iboga Mexico might be the top labels in our country. Trance – It Magazine is now distributed all around the country and their content and fans are growing day by day. Mexico seems to be on the map of the electronic music scene since some time now. For many reasons it is a must for Top DJ’s and musicians around the world, if you have a chance come and experience why and enjoy the warm colors that only Mexico can offer.
