CITIZENS OF THE QONTINENT, THANK YOU! From all regions of our globe you came together at this very place to enjoy an amazing weekend of music and party madness. There were countless faces and flags to be spotted, of which a great number from the different countries of Eu- rope, but also representing Australia, the USA and Asia to name a few. However, no matter what your passport said, once you set foot on this island, a strong feel- ing of unity reigned and turned you into a citizen of The Qontinent. All mixed and melted together as one force, bound by love and passion for the harder styles of dance music. During this weekend you had the opportunity to explore a fresh variety of areas, sounds and genres. A spectrum that ran from divine events at the God’s Ground mainstage to distorted adventures at the Valley of the Lost and from tek religion at the Aztek Ruins to lethal beats at the Burial Grounds. Every section with its own charm and power, yet all filled with dedicated party people. It’s safe to say that together you succeeded in unlocking the magical myster- ies of The Qontinent 2013. You were the loyal population and your colours gave significance to this island refuge. We thank you for creating another ever lasting experience.
