4 days with camping, party and music, this is the Nature one.
In between the forest of "Hunsrück" lay´s the rocket base "Pydna" where the Nature one takes place since over 11 years.

Once a sign of war, has become the Pydna to a place of peace and freedom, for over 50.000 party people of all nationalities, size and personality. Together with hundreds of DJ´s, of each style, they do celebrate each year for more than 72 hours.
No matter if Hardstyle, Techno, Trance or House, everyone will find his place in one of the bunkers, tents and open air floors. So just dance!

My personal party marathon did start on Friday, with the guys of the dutch label "Armada". Harry Lemon, Perry o Neil and M. Schulz gave us an impressive show in progressive trance. Especially Perry o Neil did impress me, since im not a big fan of Prog. Trance at a festival. Though his set with deep beatlines, swinging vocals and chilling synthlines has been a great warm up. M. Schulz did play a few own traxx like "first time" and i was glad that he didnt play his whole coldharbour stuff, which i personally dont like that much. And even if i dont like him that much as producer, as a Dj he is very good!

All in one i can say, that the Armada stage was the place where i did spend most of the time. Located on a hill, close to the stars was especially the family atmosphere an unforgetable impression for me. So u could always talk to the DJ´s, ask them for traxx, u could chill on the green while listening to nice progressive music. Also u could oversee the whole area from this spot.

After 6 hours of Armada, I went to the big open air floor in the middle of the area, to see Ferry Corsten. The open air floor has been redesigned after the last year´s. So there was now a big Diamond located in the middle of the floor. At each Corner of the floor, was some kind of laser pointer just much bigger, which was sending laser´s to the diamond. Now each time the laser did hit the diamond it made an incredible reflection. Also the big lightning machine made incredible effects, like u can see at some of the pics.

At 4.30 am after PvD, Ronski Speed and Timo Maas, came Ferry on stage and the crowd went crazy. They did prolly remember his impressive set of the last year. And what can i say his set was again a burner! He did rock the crowd with tunes like Air for live, who´s knocking and a few own traxx at the end, Like rock your body.

After Ferry´s exciting set it was 6 am and the most of us went home to get some sleep. In conclusion I can say that this friday was one of the best Nature one Friday´s ever! U had everything, a nice warm up with Perry, Harry and Markus and a great energetic ending with Ferry´s set. Also the temprature was allright, not too hot and not too cold.

The last Nature one day, did start for me at 10 pm, though the gates were allready open since 4 pm.
As i did arrive, I went at first again to the Armada stage where today many Dj´s of the supra label would perform, like Alex M.O.R.P.H., Andre Visour, Heller & Enke....
As i climbed up the mountain i could allready hear some nice melodic trance of the german DJ Tillman Uhrmacher. His mix of old and new traxx was quite a nice start of the evening/night. After him came Andrew Bennet who made a nice progressive warm up for Heller & Enke. As they came on stage the little hill was quite empty, and its been very cold! Though with their nice "african set" consisting of a few own tracks, the breaks remix of Airwave and smash hit´s like "dont forget", they did warm us up. They did also play "nothing" 2 times and it was the first time that i heard this mega track live. It was almost like an evening with friends at a "campfire". In the moment as the big firework did start, we were all like 1 big family within thousands of little stars which were falling down from heaven.

After this amazing moment I went down again to the big open air floor, to see Armin van buuren.
He did start his set, with a nice trance intro and i was hoping for an exciting trance set. But oh well except of a few trance traxx like Air for live, he did play a quite hard set. Nevertheless he was playing my fav Track right now "SOS" and even if it was not a real melodic trance set i did party my Ass off.
Also he did play like at sensation his own track communication and well it seems like evryone is playing his own tracks now at the end of the set. At least PvD, Ferry and Armin are doing like this.

As the clock hit 6 am, Armin was done and under standing ovations he left the floor. This was also the moment for me to say Bye Bye, at least for this year.

In conclusion I think, it was maybe the best Nature one ever. We had a chilling start with the Armada guys, a beautiful firework of almost 15 min under campfire atmosphere and 2 banging set´s of Ferry and Armin.
Though that the prices for drinks did raise again was really a bad move. I mean cmon, 4.20 Euro for a half L of Water? jesus thats just too much. Nevertheless was the move to make the Nature more trancy, a good one. Especially the new stage of Armade & Supra recordings with the warm family atmopshere at on of the hills, was amazing!

Though there was also a very sad thing at the this years Nature one. One Raver died by a drug Cocktail.
So plz, stay away from drugs, they will only destroy your body and life....
