Posted by admin On December - 16 - 2010

What a great event Voyage was! The site was simply stunning and the people that attended was the nicest and friendliest bunch that i have come across in a long time. No complains from me about the Music with a great mix of Dubstep, downtempo, Progressive Psytrance, and much more – keeping everyone happy with whatever taste they have.

Photos are being produced slowly but surely. Find the links here to all the photos i have taken, and if i find any other photos taken by others, i will also post the links here..

All quite before the Voyage officially started
