If you've never heard of the Decibel event in Beeksebergen (Neitherlands) then you've definately missed something. This is one of the biggest events in the world. Especially when it comes to Electronic music overall.
Especially when it comes to Hardstyle/Hardcore/Gabber/Trance.

To start off, yes it was a loooong way to get there. And it was a bussride alright. At first, 20 hours does sound like "Oh jeez.. That's just insanity"
But to be honest, it was the best journey of my entire life really. The 20 hour drive only added 20 hours more partying. Got to meet a lot of fun people, and also bought a lot of booze on the way down (yes, they stop by bordershops and tax-free shops on the way. If you didn't know this, it's expensive to buy alcohol in Sweden, due to taxes and such)

At Decibel, you got 12 hours of pure fun. With several stages to choose from.
I can't even begin to say how fun it was, how amazing the dutch people are at partying, enjoying life and how open-minded they are.

I actually filmed one bit, and sadly I don't have many pictures due to many reasons. Anywho, this is when I filmed the last act at the Euphoria stage (by the famous duo of Noisecontrollers):

(I can't figure out how to embed video, but I hope you click it anyway)
Kinda funny how the famous Mc Villain (atleast in the Hardstyle scene) dropped his entire pep talk-act once that girl jumped up on the stage.

After that, I went straight for the Mainstage to see the "Eind Show"
To those of you who have never seen these events, they put up a very spectacular show at the end. We aren't talking a normal performance, they usually add the lights, the fireworks and it's all just amazing. I don't think any event in the world matches up to the ones from the Dutch people really. Check this one out..

All I can really say is, this event was amazing. Probably one of the top 10 things I've done in my entire life. I'm already planning my second trip this November, that is if I can make it in time to buy tickets to Qlimax.

This is also the explanation to why I've been away from NG aswell as other communities
Not only Decibel, but the weekend before that I saw Zatox in Stockholm at Raw Summer Beats. Not a huge event/festival, just a danceoff night at a club. It was awsome too.

I'll have to see how I'll do with animations and project for a while. At the moment, I might lay it all on rest for a while.

Tell me what events you guys go to or have been to
