Beginning of the festival season and definitely one of my absolutely favorite events throughout the year.
This year`s Timewarp Mannheim was (once again) a total blast, and this is not only because of acts such as Sven Väth, Marco Carola or Plasticman`s debut of his live performance (which in the end lasted two instead of one hours), but also because it seems that more and more crazy party people from all over Europe visit the Timewarp each year.

As usually I played at Sven Väths’ Floor, with Stivo and Jedesmal Kino performing the first two acts. Setup was a big projection (2×15K Tandem), three lifting LED 3×2m Walls and a gigantic Strip of G-Lec on the ceiling, which was embedded in “the dragon”, a movable truss with six big “wings”. My personal highlight of the night was Sven Väth`s set and when he and Marco Carola, Loco Dice and Ricardo Villalobos played back to back till 3pm – what a party! Due to the time switch we “lost” one hour of partytime, but since I played a total set of 14 hours i guess it was OK.

Big respect to Michael Hock of Planwerk, who planned the whole setup and of course everybody from Cosmopop for making this fabulous event happen.
