Live Report - Voov Experience 2006

Live from 2006-08-08 to 2006-08-15

A live report from a trip to Voov Experience 2006 from Stockholm, Sweden and back again. :)

Photos made with a camera phone, and whole thing is based on working GPRS-connection at the site, so we will see how long we can get...

Its my first try for such a thing so please bear with me.

10 Making new friends...


This "little" creature moved in to our tent. Scary... But we found him or her a great place to stay in, a very long way from our tent.



2006-08-10 20:09

11 More and more people arriving




2006-08-10 20:26

12 Chillout dragon




2006-08-10 20:31

13 Alternative floor construction




2006-08-11 08:52

14 Weather update


The sun is shining and the weather is fine! :) After little rain yesterday and a cold night it clears up more and more...

2006-08-11 09:48

15 Main floor construction




2006-08-11 10:47

16 Lineup updated...


...with chillout program.

Otherwise there is no so many live acts this year but I'm very happy to see Blanka on the lineup.

2006-08-11 12:52

17 Cooking up some food...


... in the wait for dancefloor to open. Alternative floor starts at 22:00, I will try to send a picture then (or in the morning after as my camera do not like dark scenarios).



2006-08-11 16:58

18 Psychedelic bugs...


This camera my not have good night vision but macro works great.



2006-08-12 09:42

19 Morning at alternative floor


I could not make any decent night pictures so here is first morning pic from alternative floor, taken when Bitmonx vs Fabio was playing.




2006-08-12 10:22

20 Deco


This year a great effort was put into lighting effects and projections. There is a lot of white fabric illuminated by all colorful lights or projections. It creates really beautiful effects at night.

I will post a link to my "real" photos when we get back as I'm not able to provide any night scenery images now.

2006-08-12 17:24

21 Dark clouds passing by...


and DJ Anti playing. I find progressive house rather boring but his set was really rocking.

There is some less people at the festival this year, maybe because of Boom Festival just two weeks ago.




2006-08-12 20:50

22 Main floor 2 hours before it opens




2006-08-12 21:01

23 Dragons


This years deco theme are dragons. Beautiful colorful dragons are flying everywhere :).

This is one just beside main floor.



2006-08-12 23:33

24 Alternative floor


That's only decent night pic I have managed to take but it shows at least all colorful lighting used.



2006-08-13 06:44

25 Blanka


Very nice performance that I have enjoyed a lot! All new tracks so I hope he release a new CD soon. :)



2006-08-13 12:30

26 Weather update


Cloudy day and some rain just passing by.

As for psy-scene weather its not so good either, I have just read in Mushroom magazine that Spiral Trax closed down because of Cosmophilia bankruptcy.

Spirit Zone is closed down too and selling remaining stock here at festival (but that my be old news for many).

2006-08-13 18:44

27 Raindance :)


Even though the rain has been pouring down most of the day it doesn't keep people from dancing.



2006-08-14 12:03

28 End of the festival...


After a rainy last day and night we got some sun again. It is also end of the festival and time to go home.

Voov Experience is a well organized event but in last few years it has been loosing its spirit and energy, now it does not even feel like an international gathering.



2006-08-14 21:13

29 On the way home..




2006-08-14 21:16

30 Bored?

Back in Sweden, half way from Trelleborg to Uppsala we stopped here for a break (its a famous swedish ruin).
