POLLERWIESEN 2006

HAPPENINGText: Yukio Kanai

The event started with Magda. During the 5-hour play, there was a happening that the sound stopped by rain, which brought more excitement to the venue.

Around 17:00, back to back between Richie Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos started. They play music in alternate shift. The venue reached its peak with happy atmosphere being up to my expectations. Many times we could see Ricardo kissing Richie’s head too.

At 19:00, however, cloud burst came. It was the brief rain we recently have a lot in Germany. The makeshift tent got mass density with people, but they were all smiling and dancing. The rain eventually got into the tent too, and people were all wet, but the muddy venue showed more excitement after cleared up. The cold summer of Germany is still far from over…
