I really liked Secret Fire III, it's been awhile since I went to a Chilluminati event, my last one was dreamfields. It was a nice atmosphere, however I wish there was a chill stage. I like dancing to that better, I can stay on the beat better. I thought all the DJs sounded good, though, the best psytrance i've ever heard.

The Crew put their heads together and we wanted to remember to thank the following volunteers who helped to CREATE the event:

Spyder for her fire sculpture;
Derek & Carli who helped with deco;
even though they were part of the deco team, want to again specially thank Paul, Auriel and Utopia for their creative contributions;
Zac for helping at the gate;
everyone who helped set up the speakers and sound stage;
Ben Kemper for mowing the hell out of that place with Tyler;
Bruce who helped with luminaries.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I had a great time playing... this was a great introduction to the midwest scene for me.  Hope to see you all again soon!

Little late on this one, huh?  

First of all, thank you Derby for helping me get set up in the morning for my set.   The turntable case/sun visor was awsome!  I'd had some issuse if it wasn't for your help.  Laptop screen + screaming sunlight =  

Everyone's set was amazing!  Meta was badass,  Facehead rocked 2 weeks in a row for me, Kt's morning set was amazing and hard to follow, Varun's chill was just what the doctor ordered, the deco was amazing including Sunra's welcomed live art.  (I got a sneak peak at her work when Trance Psyndicate was in AZ)  The stage was.....well, you know, freakin amazing.  

I must also thank everyone for respecting the venue, as we are all fortunate to have it.  The venue was not easy to get, nor easy to keep. There is alot of upkeep that must go into it.  There is also alot of people who would like to get there hands on it.   It has been all of YOU that gave the landowners the faith in who and what we are.  

Remember a little party called Earthdance?  That was our proving grounds last year and YOU all made them believers. Secret Fire was only a confirmation of that same belief.  Thank you and we'll be seeing you all again there this fall. !

Deco was AWESOME. We loved the stage.

Thanks to ... the deco people.  It looked like a little alien world amongst the vast natural landscape.

Wooooowwwwowo.........what a fantastic party to start the outdoor seaon. Another blaster by Chilluminati....
Had a very very sweet expeirence...........loved the stage deco ...

I'm sooooooooooooooooo glad to hear that people enjoyed the deco. I was sort of afraid that ppl would think it looked cheap, the stuff that Carli and I brought to hang was pretty much just wire, string, and a few tapestries We were only asked to help out with deco a few days prior to the event and it was already an extremely busy week for us. A lot of the stuff that we hung was originally created for the chill room at Resonate 2.0, another event that we were asked to work just a few days in advance. I would have liked to create some original artwork created specifically for this event... oh well... maybe next time...  

For those of you who don't know me... my name is Derek, my partner is Carli. We've been a part of the Rendezvous crew (http://www.myspace.com/rendezvouscrew) for a few months now.  It was definitely intimidating for me to participate in an event like this one with such incredible artists involved. The deco that I've seen Psymbolic do is just so amazing I felt dwarfed, hehe. How can one expect to be on the same level as those who have decorated for Infected Mushroom, Astral Projection, Bluetech.... the list goes on. I guess you're always more critical of your own work than other people are. We did the best we could with what we had to work with.

Much thanks to everyone who helped with setting up and providing the deco on the main stage. Jeff for providing the lights, Paul and co, the two redheads from central IL who I can't remember your names, and anyone else that I missed. I never ended up meeting this Allison who was supposed to be coordinating the deco effort, perhaps we'll cross paths sometime in the future. Heard she had to work... such a shame. I took plenty of photos of us setting up and after dark, I'll be posting the best ones on my myspace and tribe pages tonight or tomorrow for everyone to enjoy.

As for the event itself...
The venue was great. Personally, I thought that Meta was fucking amazing. He spins the exact same style of psy that I do... I'd never really heard a set like that. It gave me so many ideas that I went home and spent 4 or 5 hours on my decks even though I had zero sleep on Saturday night. I've never been keen on the darker stuff but I thought that Facehead was incredible as well. My brain was pulverized into jelly, lol. The sound was also amazing... I came to a realization that I truly didn't understand how my own tracks would sound when played out on a big system... psy just has so many layers, so many timbres. At least now I've got some concept of how the different sounds will play out. The live video was unbelievable as well, I really appreciate living in a city wish such a vibrant motion graphic scene.

All in all Secret Fire III was an amazing experience for me. I met many great people... and I'm sure there were 4 times as many amazing people that I didn't get the chance to meet. I can't wait to participate in future events. See you all around!!

Derek, it was a pleasure having you and Carli helping out.  It makes me feel warm from the inside out knowing that my first attempt at deco was spot on and everyone loved it.  Anne and Dane were awesome helpers for my "spandex powers."
