After 26 years, I finally recovered the Dutch public TV special on our late 90s psytrance scene in New York. A VPN came in handy.
It includes scenes from an Alphatrance party at 40th & 9th and my apartment at 50th and 9th. Featuring me, Babak, Kiovanna, and Mike. I discuss shamanism and psychedelics, and we are filmed smoking DMT and me snorting K into a massive hole typical of the time. It’s pretty hard to watch, but history is history. Luckily, I survived that period of my life, which lasted a few years.
Borderline irresponsible drug use aside, I think we were ahead of our time in the ideas we discuss, especially from Babak and Kiovanna, who, unlike me, are actually coherent and well-spoken.
A year later, when I went to a smart shop in Amsterdam, the shop owner recognized me.
Thankfully, the Internet continues to amaze me, and I am so happy this was saved. A snapshot into a magical time to be alive.
