2 Hadra association

The HADRA association was founded in 2001 and has for main focus the recognition and promotion of electronic music. The association choses to emphasise its activity on the psychedelic trance culture, a movement receiving little media attention in France. Its main activities include: artists management and artistic careers management, workshops and training related to electronic music, concerts and events organisation... as well as the annual organisation of its major event: the Hadra Trance Festival, the French ambassador on the international psytrance scene. This year sees the sixth edition of the Hadra Trance Festival which will take place in Lans-en-Vercors, Isère, for the third consecutive year.

Hadra Trance Festival

The Rhone-Alpes region in South-Eastern France has become the national host for psychedelic trance, mainly due to the development and recognition of the Hadra association and its regional activities over the past 10 years. The reoccurrence of the Hadra Trance Festival since 2008 as well as the explosion of its attendance greatly accelerated this dynamic! In 2011 the festival showed an overall record attendance of nearly 20,000 with an increasing segment from overseas. The Festival is a unique and remarkable experience thanks to its flawless organisation, the nature of the surroundings and the values it stands up for, but also due to an eclectic and multidisciplinary programme offering 120 concerts, performances, dancing, street arts, stage creations, video projections and digital installations. Over the years, the festival has become the largest celebration of trance culture in France and is now regarded as a reference in Europe and worldwide. Each year, the Hadra Trance Festival is highly anticipated by a devoted audience coming from further and further to enjoy these few days out of time.

4 Hadra and the sustainable development

A festival eco-responsible towards the environment and society

During Hadra Trance Festival, a special attention will be made on quality of artistic programming and also our responsibility as an organizer of cultural events for the natural and social environment. In this context, a study of environmental impact was conducted during the festival 2011, by the League for the Protection of Birds. Noting that the birds had disappeared during the festival, we decided to move the date of the festival in late August.

In 2008 we have obtained the approval « Youth and popular Education » by DDJS (Deparmental Directorate of Youth and Sports), we continue our engagement to youth to give an access to learning and culture. That’s why, we put into place, before the festival, mix and decoration workshops on the Vercors plateau and also, organizing the music festival with « La Maison pour Tous » for 4 mountains, and conferences, workshops, training and other activities will be available for free at the event. In our programming, we want to support local artist, emerging regional artist as it’s the case with Tweakers, Metastaz, Lakay.

Carrying out an économic impact study on Vercors in 2010 and 2011, measuring the injection of almost 265 000€ last year in direct and indirect impacts, it’s in this context that the hara festival integrate Vercors. We put into place a social and solidary economy, integrating as much as possible producers and artisan of the Vercors to the event.

After conducting an economic impact study on the plateau in 2010 and 2011, measuring the injection of almost € 265,000 last year in direct and indirect impacts on the plateau, it is within this context of integrate the project Hadra festival to life of the plateau, we are building a social economy, integrating as much as possible producers and craftsmen of the Vercors to the event.

9 Guest star BALKAN BEAT BOX Crammed Discs / Nat Geo Music - Brooklyn / EU / Tel-Aviv - http://balkanbeatbox.com

Balkan Beat Box, a group of New York globetrotters, was founded by Israeli expats. They built their reputation thanks to a combo of Balkan music (Bulgarian songs, Macedonian and Serbian brass bands), oriental influences, some electro beats with a hiphop flow; before recently introducing some cumbia and reggae-dub. The band is composed of Ori Kaplan, ex-member of Gogol Bordello, Tamir Muskat, ex-drummer of Firewater and explosive singer Tomer Yosef who joined them later on. BBB aka Balkan Beat Box opened itself up to even more new influences for the release of their third album « Blue Eyed Black Boy », which uses a lot of samples and electronic sounds, old synths and some toy instruments. While keeping its identifying style, it engages with today’s reality.

For proof, the track « Part of the Glory », a clever mix between DJ Mujava and the Mano Negra « King of Bongo », deals with social media, Youtube, and this notoriety everyone is searching for. The album demonstrates even more social and political involvement with « Political Fuck », almost worthy of Rage Against The Machine, although in a slightly more « civilized » way. Those who did not adhere to BBB before should become convinced by this new chapter working towards new musical horizons. Others will relish this new album from which the hits fly out of the megaphone!
