In 1994 and 1995 the first editions were organized with Richie Hawtin , Paul van Dyk and Acid Scout , among others . This was followed by a 15-year break until the festival at Lake Cospuden was reissued in 2010.

While the new edition was geared towards headliner Paul Kalkbrenner in mid-August and carried out with 10,000 visitors, in the following years the number of visitors was limited to around 5,000 and put it on the last Sunday in July. The aim is to ensure a better party atmosphere and more free space, the festival site would offer space for 15,000 visitors.

Since then, Marek Hemmann , Sven Väth , Daniel Stefanik , Mathias Kaden , DJ Koze , Maceo Plex , Solomun , Nina Kraviz , Dixon , Nightmares on Wax , Ricardo Villalobos , Rødhåd , Robag Wruhme , Aril Brikha , Paul Kalkbrenner , Sascha Funke have played here , dOP, Axel Boman , Daniel Bortz , Ellen Allien , Jan Blomqvist , Pachanga Boys , Recondite , Super Flu , Chris Liebing and Monkey Safari .
