Psava Faam Gathering 2002 @
near Paranesti Village, Greece.

"Several days and nights drinking in Drama's amazing 'Aiyaio' bar could never have prepared us for the onslaught of crushing tribal techno we witnessed at Psava Faam.

Day1 : Anesti spends all afternoon ordering diggers and workmen about -putting up two video screens either side of the stage, we set up the gear on a central mini-stage, right in front of the main stage. The location is fantastic -on both sides, and behind the stage, mountains slope away and to the right is the river Nestos.

Ten O'Clock turns up and the techno turns on! From 10pm-9am we hammer the Greek landscape (and 1,500 ravers!) with deep and hard techno and strobing imagery... Bliss. We work with a VCR, PHLUMIX v5.0 and the live cam, plus some extra onsite footage of the audience and jugglers.

Day2 : Ozric Tentacles are unable to play. Torrential rain showers have also damaged some of the speaker amps -delaying the evening, so Psicon Lab get a night off to enjoy another 13 straight hours of pummeling techno under the moon. Fire breathers, jugglers and stiltwalkers make an appearance too!

Day3 : We set up on the main stage and play a blinder(!), mixing up psycho-devilish whirling tunnels, screaming people and phasing static. We finish early at 6am and leave the stragglers to it."
