We had a great year, of great dancing, great music and a totally awesome ceremony for Alicia and Alex in the morning.

See you all again next year for #9, #9, #9, #9, #9.....

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing it was to see people having so much fun at our little forest event. We have truly been blessed with an awesome group of supporters and lovers of music that come out every time to enjoy what we have planned for the night.

We arrived at the location on Saturday morning around 8am. We wanted to make sure the place was all to ourselves and good to go. Thankfully it was. We spent most of the day setting up and laying around trying to relax, which none of us could.

By the time Alex and I headed down to the map point it was nice to see several cars already there awaiting our arrival. Time flew by and we even waited until 12:30 for some of you to make sure you made it. Heading back up to the party around 1:30am we came upon a car that was stuck, we managed to lift the car out and proceed to the event.

When we arrived the party was on full speed ahead. It was quite a sight to see. The projector that Alicia borrowed turned out to be spectacular and the disco ball was just the right touch. It’s nice to see things turn out so well after hard work and planning.

I missed Christian and Franke, but heard they both had very good sets.

Q Burns Abstract Message was already in the mix when I got out of our car and was playing his usual fantastic techy, funky, booty shaking house. He has never disappointed.

After Q was our own Lando. Lando proceeded to take the party into a completely perfect direction. I think Lando played the best set I’ve ever heard him play, from start to finish it was bliss. He played a set full of tech, acid, funk and couldn’t have chosen a better sound for our location and environment. Big congrats to our local boy making good once again. Lando is truly our own secret weapon, well in my opinion anyway!

Next up was Alex Castillo, making his debut at his first JAM On It event. Alex has been a huge part in planning and setting up and organizing our events from the beginning and it was a nice sight to see him get to play at our party finally. Let me say that for a guy being so nervous about his set, he sure didn’t let anyone know that by his flawless mixing, his impeccable track selection and all around energy. He took over where Lando left off and made several people do double takes realizing that he was the one spinning. Tons of kudos to Alex for representing and proving that all the practice, time and dedication pay off when you want to get good at something. Alex thanks for your set, it was rad.

And finally closing out the night was Drue Sullivan at his 2nd Slinky appearance. Drue was a huge help during the day setting up and helping Alicia do parking all night. It’s hard to believe that all of the djs I heard were on such a similar wavelength as they were. I thought that when Drue came on he completed the night in such a way that it seemed almost pre-rehearsed. He did a fine job and really closed Slinky out right. Thank you Drue for some fantastic music once again!

So enough about the djs, lol, they all were fantastic and I can’t say that enough!

I’d like to thank the people from I-Rave that managed to come out and support our adventures in the forest as they always do. You guys truly make it all worth doing over and over again. Your support means the world to us and as long as you keep showing it, we’ll keep throwing it.

Also to the RLF oldies, big dusty thank you for your continued dedication to driving out to the middle of nowhere for some dirty low down fun.

Thank you to all of the people that took home trash and stayed to help us clean up. At first it seemed like the ground was a mess, but I think once I really started to look around the place was in really good condition and that credit is due to all of you party goers that were responsible for your own trash and managed to put in effort to clean up. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Thank you to the guy in the Jeep for loaning your tow chain and the person that pulled out that other truck that was stuck. It is a wonderful thing when people help other people in need. Thank you for your selflessness and willingness to assist a fellow partier. I’m sure they were very grateful.
