Eclipse 2008 was a tremendous success! The Tech Safari crew exhibited an unparallelled level of organization with the “solar edition” of Canada’s most well-established psytrance festival. This year the event returned to the Bonnet Rouge, a gorgeous campsite on the shore of the river Gatineau in the Outaouais region of Quebec. Musical highlights included Simon Posford’s performances as Shpongle and Hallucinogen, Vibrasphere, D-Nox on Sunday afternoon, Ekoplex on Friday night, Tapwatr, DJ Seb, Rikam vs Yann on Monday morning, Pheek, DJ Solar, the “furious percussion duo” of Blandilo, and the Indian dub fusion of The Dreamtree Project. As in previous years, the sound system was world-class: extremely powerful yet crystal clear. Altogether it was an excellent festival experience.
