I just wanted to put a note here because some friends are asking about
it...
Earlier
this week on Tuesday I got a call from the organization of the Samsara
Festival and they told me that the flight company that held my ticket
to Austria went bankrupt and canceled all their flights. The
organization is in a serious situation having to rebook flights and
sadly they could no longer afford to buy me a new flight from Holland
this week.
So it is a fact that I will not be at the Samsara Festival although I'm
in the line up.
I
was really looking forward to it as the line up looked good, the
location is fantastic and a lot of friends were going to be there...
Wishing the people that can make it to Samsara to have a wonderful
party!

make a dub track, so I'll check for music tips! Some really helpfull
sites that I found on the way:
