And there it was, again, time for that blessed race in the Italian hills of Piacenza, under the good auspices of Claudio Casale and his team of volunteers and assorted magicians and geniuses. But that’s not really how it begins, at least not in a Suixtil dimensions where things have to go mad before they …

Heaven on earth – in Argentina, no less…
Oh, and one more thing we forgot to mention we had been lucky to experience during our last trip to Argentina in March. We got kindly invited to meet up at a friend’s out of town haven to visit his collection. It is quite the way out of town and one must be prepared to …

Techno Classica in Germany – welcome to the largest European vintage party
