I`m not a huge Techno fan, I do like a couple of mates just having a chat about things.
2 people who are completely at ease with each other.
Nice one boys.

_THE_ musical geniuses of the 21st century. People will remember these guys the same as old people think of Mozart and Beethoven. This was absolutely mint! Cocoon parties have been one of the best in the world.

Great to see them after so many years! I lived in Ibiza at the time when Cocoon started and it was the only place I used to go periodically. For me nicer with fewer people. Amazing music, atmosphere, and non-stop dancing! First time I saw Richie Hawtin and became a fan although I was a Psy-Trance freak.

[flexfeuerstein]

Man i had goosepumps throughout the whole thing listening to these fuckin legends
