The Boom Festival in Portugal is a biennial festival which features music, paint, sculpture, video art, installations cinema, theater and a concept of cross pollination of different art and cultural forms across boundaries and nationalities.

The first Boom Festival happened in 1997 with a large influence on electronic music, but nowadays Boom is a multidisciplinary event. Every year the concept has been evolving from the main base: connecting arts, culture and knowledge. Taking off as a psytrance event, Boom is now a visionary entertainment village where people can have fun but also create awareness with it !

'We Are One' is a movie that follows the spirit of Boom 2006 !!!

Boom Festival 2006 was once more a unique experience. Held in August full moon in Portugal, this event had its main focus towards Permaculture and Eco-consciousness. Boom emerged as a visionary Babylon of its own, where there's a special novelty waiting at every corner.

'We Are One'! is a movie that captures the spirit of Boom 2006. Featuring a cutting edge selection of music, visuals, art, installations or performances, this is a portrait of a visionary event where all people are sharing the same concepts, as One.

When i meditated on the word Guidance, i kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that and let's the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music.


One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.


My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When i saw G, i thought of "God", followed by "U" and "I". "God" "You" and "I" "Dance". God, you and i dance ! As i lowered my head, I became willing to trust that i would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

As i was dancing i realized that God had always been with me waiting for me to find my way to this inner divinity which resides within all creation. All that is, is what has always been and will ever be. I began to understand the transformation of energy which is indestructible, can neither be created or destroyed. As i awakened to the Cosmic Reality of Oneness i begun to "Glow" in the brilliance of experiencing Bliss. God You & I Dance but what about Larry & Sean ... You keep dancing my friend, they too shall put their dancing shoes back on !

Native Instruments

Traktor DJ Studio Ver. 3.2.2

Acer Aspire 5610Z, Intel Pentium Dual Core T2060 @ 1.60 Ghz

1 Gb RAM ; 120 Gb HDD, Windows Vista Home Premium ... Good Vibes ! :)

Influenced by Pink Floyd and Dire Straits in his late teens, Psybates took to the Guitar and formed 'Bates Motel' alongside Sean Martin (Drums) and Sam David (Leads) . The band never quite moved on because of various reasons, however he continued his adventures with music and began experimenting with DJ'ing using two winamp windows and a DJ plugin. He finally found the perfect tool to mix music with Traktor DJ Studio. He specializes in playing psychedelic music which includes Classic / Psychedelic Rock, Chill-Out, Ambient Sounds for easy, reflective listening and Full On Psychedelic Goa Trance, for other times when the self dissolves in the oneness created with music as we stomp away to glory in unison !

Psybates uses Traktor DJ Studio 3.2 as the platform to play music and has been doing so ritually since 2005. He has played at selective underground / private parties over the last 2 years, also co-hosted / organized these gatherings on certain celestial and spiritual occasions such as Full Moon Nights, Maha Shivratri, Buddha Poornima and also based on concepts which raise our collective consciousness to higher realms of divinity and are basically a lot of fun with shiny happy people sending positive beams of energy all around. We are all truly infinite spiritual beings having a human experience ! The trance dance experience is our expression of thankfulness to the *ONE for this consciousness by means of which " We Experience " and " We Are " ! Music has a deeper effect on our minds than what appears on the surface. It has the ability to transform us magically into sheer positive energy after which we just radiate. Together we dance in communion with the *omnipresent cosmic spirit !

Ψ ॐ नम: Shivaya Ψ

Our emotional state of choice is Ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love. Our addiction of choice is technology. Our religion of choice is music. Our currency of choice is knowledge. Our politics of choice is none. Our society of choice is utopian. Drop me a line if it will ever be :) ! You may hate us. You may dismiss us. You may misunderstand us. You may be unaware of our existence. We can only hope you do not care to judge us, because we would never judge you. We are not criminals. We are not disillusioned. We are not drug addicts. We are not naive children. We are one massive, global, tribal village that transcends man-made law, physical geography, and time itself. We are The Massive. One Massive.



We were first drawn by the sound. From far away, the thunderous, muffled, echoing beat was comparable to a mother's heart soothing a child in her womb of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this womb, and there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to accept that we are all the same. We came to accept that we are all equal. Not only to the darkness, and to ourselves, but to the very music slamming into us and passing through our souls: we are all equal. And somewhere around 35Hz we could feel the hand of God at our backs, pushing us forward, pushing us to push ourselves to strengthen our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Pushing us to turn to the person beside us to join hands and uplift them by sharing the uncontrollable joy we felt from creating this magical bubble that can, for one evening, protect us from the horrors, atrocities, and pollution of the outside world. It is in that very instant, with these very realizations that each of us was truly born. We continue to pack our bodies into clubs, or warehouses, or buildings you've abandoned and left for naught, and we bring life to them for one night. Strong, throbbing, vibrant life in it's purest, most intense, most hedonistic form.In these makeshift spaces, we seek to shed ourselves of the burden of uncertainty for a future you have been unable to stabilize and secure for us. We seek to relinquish our inhibitions, and free ourselves from the shackles and restraints you've put on us for your own peace of mind. We seek to re-write the programming that you have tried to indoctrinate us with since the moment we were born.



Programming that tells us to hate, that tells us to judge, that tells us to stuff ourselves into the nearest and most convenient pigeon hole possible. Programming that even tells us to climb ladders for you, jump through hoops, and run through mazes and on hamster wheels. Programming that tells us to eat from the shiny silver spoon you are trying to feed us with, instead of nourishing ourselves with our own capable hands. Programming that tells us to close our mind, instead of opening for clarity in realization.Until the sun rises to burn our eyes by revealing the distopian reality of the world you've created for us, we dance fiercely with our brothers and sisters in celebration of our life, of our culture, and of the values we believe in: Peace, Love, Freedom, Tolerance, Unity, Harmony, Expression, Responsibility and Respect.Our enemy of choice is ignorance. Our weapon of choice is information. Our crime of choice is breaking and challenging whatever laws you feel you need to put in place to stop us from celebrating our existence. But know that while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down the entire party. You don't have access to that switch, no matter what you may think. The music will never stop. The heartbeat will never fade. The party will never end ~

Music, i consider the next best thing to life. With all the subjective classification of music, it seems to have covered all humanity across the world. Music can have a lasting impact on ones mind and this happens almost unconsciously following a review you heard from a slightly more forward friend of yours.

What began with listening to the likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin is now a full throttle psychedelic head trip into the inner realms of the sub-conscious self or maybe it's just the psychedelics talking, either way it is a lot of FUN. Ironically, all music that unites us also happens to alienate us when we tend to camp with a typical sub-genre suggesting total conformance to the particular style. This separation kinda kills the potential of an experience. The moment you think of something you don't want, you create a wall around and we all know what walls do.

There is an obvious difference between the club vibe and the outdoor jungle vibe. Clubs just don't cut. However, with commercialization, somewhere they have merged and music has evolved. What began as Goa Trance or Psychedelic Trance has evolved into Dark, Full On / Morning, Ambient, Chill Out ... which covers the whole spectrum of psychedelic trance ranging through different phases that make a Trance Dance Festival spread across 2-7 days or more. Some day we will wake up each day of our waking lives to magical melodies in the wilderness we so long to return to. Our ancestors are calling out to us to return to our roots and realize the oneness in all creation. Our collective consciousness shall resurrect the broken tranquility that will bring about the dawn of the golden age where peace is all that will ever be !






One big festival called Planet Earth !





There is no clear distinction with sub-genre styles blending into one another almost hypnotically, hence what i call FULL ON (which is an all out energy zone) is considered a style close to euro-trance by some. Psychedelic Trance has always had some influence of the dark side adequately expressed in music of the recent time. This mind shattering haunting style of psychedelic trance makes a treat for all adventurous crusaders raring to experience whatever comes their way open heartedly in a sub-conscious state in a trans dimensional realm. Through our fears shall rise our most coveted gifts and the dark seems to throw you right in the middle of all the chaos. This journey from mayhem to euphoria is best stomping through the dark of the night and the brilliance of the day.

Club Music sure does alienate us from our spiritual trance dance roots. But music itself is spiritual in nature and where the intensity differs it principally affects the human mind.

It is the suggestive nature of other more easily accessed music that makes electronic music so special. As little or no words are associated with it (we need some direction don't we...), the ground of perception heightens and an impersonal thought grows into a surreal story of the tripping ego and the unknown.

I love music and i dance fearlessly to all psychedelic sounds ! Thanks for all the music and magic we love !

BoOm !
