mushroom newsletter The 15th mushroom anniversaryWelcome to our summer newsletter , full packed with lots of info for the festival season including updated summer festival map , the winners of the mushroom Trance Producer Contest and new music releases which we published inside the June / July mushroom. In fact we are celebrating the 15th mushroom birthday with this issue. Who would have thought that our beloved Goa yellow press would pass quite some crisis and reach this remarkable age back in 1994, when it all began? Starting with only four pages, hand-copied and with a distribution in the area of North Germany we became an international Trance magazine. We accompanied the scene during its golden age in the late nineties but also experienced the times of massive music piracy and therefore the decline of the label landscape. We danced free our selves from social forces and discussed the sense of life at remote places. We saw several generations of Trancers coming, each one with another attitude. We witnessed evolution and innovation. I hope you also gathered so much precious experiences with our scene during the past years and found your own way of Trance. In this issue we want to recommend you many great parties where you can celebrate our mushroom anniversary and also the 20th birthday of the global Trance community. So we decided to make this June / July issue a Festival Special . Please check our subscriber offers, if we should send you the mushroom magazine direct to your home address.
