Just one of the many greeting cards the Enchanted Valley Carnival provided for its many happy revelers. The village comprises the whole package: adventure, shopping, F & B, camping and music, in its many different, adrenaline-pumping avatars.



While the flea market and the many food stalls and bars packed in Enchanted Village visitors, the stages were where the party was at. Primed by the incredibly successful silent party the night before, music was the thread connecting the whole village? David Guetta … need we say more? The EDM superstar and headliner of day one flew in to weave his magic over a two- hour set and provided an electrifying set of memories (yes, he played that track) to the thousand – strong crowd at Azbor stage. London based songwriter Neev played an individualistic set with ingenious electronic styling before the genre busting hit maker took to stage.



But who were the amazing means to that stellar end? Solarstone, trance ace, blasted off with arsenal of progressive hard-hitters to an ecstatic crowd at the Analog stage. The stage had already been set to perfection by the beautiful Aruna and her ethereal, powerful voice.



Elsewhere, Alien Chutney at the Artemis stage provided their signature hilarious, on-point interactive set. They even did their own version of Swedish House Mafia a la Vir Das. Anish Sood and Lost Stories were pure high-octane energy playing an extended big-room journey which ended surprisingly, with a very welcome edit of Rage against the Machine. Shaair + Func – Monica Dogra like a beacon in silver and white – closed the live stage with funk, soul and melody. Everything expected from the seasoned, hugely popular duo. Dualist Inquiry was right before them playing a set of his own productions with up-tempo electronic that had the ground shaking.



And, that was just day one stages line-ups. With Karan Bhoj, Vishal Shetty, Bullzeye, Chaab and Joshi at the after parties the music and merriment – EVC style – didn't stop till early morning. Stay tuned for day two.



Day two kicked it up a notch from day one...who knew that was even possible considering day one's crackling energy. The much awaited techno stage had some superstars, both national and international, Mumbai's Boombaba opened the day, leading to a stellar back-to-back session by Delhi's favourites Ash Roy and Ashvin Mani Sharma. Jon Rundell followed with some harder times, leading to Holland's melodic ragers.The stage capped with the legendary Kaiserdisco, who ended the day with a monster techno set swallowed whole by an eager crowd.



The main stage was no less. Nawed Khan blasted off with bigroom favourites, which served as the perfect teaser to the trance aces from Egypt..Aly & Fila while they left the mammoth audience mesmerized more was to follow.  New World Punx-Ferry Corsten & Marcus Schulz - were the most balanced, beautifully, in-sync duo who were the perfect headliners for day two. Both Indian long standing favourites...trance fanatics couldn't have asked for more.



The perfect accompaniment for those two stages was the day's bass phenomena blasted off some BREED, who primed the audience for the ever popular Nucleya and his anthems. Throw Borgore in and it was a party no one was forgetting anytime soon.



Ushering in the grand finale of the festival were the after parties. Techno superstar Arjun Vagale cocooned the speculator journey supported by heavy-hitting sets from Kohra, BLOT! and Oozeundat. The second year of EVC was memorable, musical and magical. The village reverberated by all sorts of bass-lines buoyed by the incessant energy of a crowd that were nothing but love, excitement and positivity.
