Burning Man sells out...?

The once underground USA Desert festival the Burning Man, home originally alternate style followers is following the way of Glastonbury (now attended by families, city boys and celebs not hippies) and is being taken over by festival tourists as this years event (already ballooned in licensed number to 50,000) threatens to sell out before any of the original attendees get to buy any tickets.  It highlights the problems of trying to stay cool and underground whilst also trying to evolve and be financially strong.  Read more...

If you lose your original audience that magic vibe that people first were attracted to will inevitably be lost making the event something different than what it was which is always a shame.  One thing we know at Fantazia  is that our scene is very much under ground again.   With no mainstream media attention in anyway for many years our audience is our fans both new and old who come to add to the amazing atmosphere at the events and listen to great music not to change the vibe. We pledge to keep doing it how we know you love it best.

See you at Fantazia Superheroes and Two Steps Beyond!

Please please don't this lot anywhere near a Mic, Lenni + Bassman the total garbage that these two spelt out is unreal. Magica + Connie, scratch master tekno, Jack Horner and Joe Peng are surely some of the worst ever, most if them ruined the one step beyond tapes don't let them do it this time. Take time out listen to the old tapes, listen to what they say, it will make you smile its that bad.
