CzechTek
CzechTek was an annual teknival normally held on the weekend at the end of July in the Czech Republic. It attracted thousands of free tekno dancers from several European countries (40,000 people attended in 2003 and 2006). Open invitations were usually made to all sound systems, performers and all people with positive thinking.
Description
Every year the festival was held in different locations around the Czech Republic. The festival was not the same as more commercial festivals such as the Love Parade or the Street Parade. It was usually set on ex-military land or in a meadow near a forest.
There was little or no organisation, since the idea of free tekno is based on personal freedom and responsibility. Although later teknivals required organisation due to large numbers of attendees. The style and image of the people was also different from that of the Love Parade's participants, it was more underground. Festivals were held on an illegally occupied grounds as well as properly rented. The location of the meeting was always revealed one day before the event on Czech rave websites.

Barcelona
by: PsychoticaHello senora tell me how you've been
Is the western world still beneath your feet
Did you need me in your darkest hour
Was it you I heard screaming in your sleep
Tell me senora was he true to you
Did he leave you sleeping on a bed of nails
And did the wolves start to circle in the shadows around
Waiting for your weakest part to fail
Did you show them how to fly, the barcelona sky
While Mozart plays for you
A haunting lullaby
No need to rectify
The music plays for you
While Barcelona cries
Tell me senora have you found your peace
Is there silence in your hacienda now
And did you need me in your darkest hour
