Vortex Trance Adventures & Interzone Records celebrate 30 years of creating sacred dance circles rooted in love, intention, & freedom.

Vortex Trance Adventures & Interzone Records celebrate 30 years of creating sacred dance circles rooted in love, intention, & freedom. The Open Source Festival, one of the world’s longest-running underground music & dance gatherings, celebrating PEACE - LOVE - UNITY - RESPECT annually since 1995.

Step into A Vortex of Love — a kaleidoscope of colour, sound, & movement. Immerse yourself in a full-spectrum psychedelic experience of music, art, & dance as we celebrate the summer solstice together. The bass is deep. The music is psychedelic. The energy is transformative.

This year is familiar, yet new — a frequency that only free spirits will recognize. This is more than an event. It’s a pulse. With our deepest gratitude to you — the dancers — for 30 years of love & support. YOU are what makes Vortex magical.

One Energy – One Heartbeat – One Frequency.
