Mutation! We love it. Through the western calendar we’re already in February, but a new change lies ahead. The Chinese year 4706 begins on February 7th, 2008 and we’re entering the year of the Rat, which is also known by its former name of Wu Zi. Western, Chinese, Tibetan, Mayan, well, each culture has its own connection with the stars through a calendar. We look at each one of them carefully as it brings you to a place you can’t quantify, to ubiquitous latitudes within the collective imaginary. In order to connect us with the global imaginary, Boom released a book and co-produced a documentary. And for a clear mark in your calendars, be it western or oriental or even extraterrestrial, we announce a date for line-ups to be online. Hope you enjoy travelling through this month’s newsletter.
The “Boom Book” was a project carried out during 2007 as a commemoration of Boom’s 10th anniversary. The goal was is to independently release a book about Boom but also to highlight its main contribution to today’s world – as leader in incorporating novel approaches to entertainment and providing experiences lived through a festival which can pioneer new perceptions and visions, enhancing all of us and our relationship with the world we live in.
This book is a collaborative project put together by anthropologists, journalists, designers, illustrators, poets, musicologists, and photographers to capture the essence of the Boom Festival. The Boom Book includes essays, interviews, visionary art by Alex Grey, Robert Venosa or Android, and innovative texts about psy-trance. It is a cultural record of striking importance, capturing the beauty of Boom and also the role of subcultures in a modern world.

All Line-Ups Released in July
We all know that Boom is not just about music neither about purely a dance floor experience. However, we do know how important that is for a good festival. Music is a delicate thing. That’s why we don’t like to throw it away to the air like popcorn. We spend hundreds of hours with it: listen to music at the office, purchasing all types of sounds, and carrying it in our portable devices.
Our main concern music-wise is to present novelty and fantasy. Since we like to dig deep in a quest for music, and listen carefully to the hundreds of demos we get, we like to wait for the latest music released in the summer season before Boom so that we can present fresh music to the participants. In this way we assure you: July will be the date for us to announce all Boom line-ups together!
