[2009] To the end of the world and beyond in CHILE
- written by Dew
16 years later, Chile hosts "Honu Eclipse 2010" to celebrate a Total Solar Eclipse in Easter Island (Rapa Nui). Over the past couple of years, more outdoor festival culture has been born with Montemapu, Massive Landing, Universus and E-festival. The main indoor parties in the capital Santiago are Urbandance, gathering 5000 people and presenting solid international guests.
Artists
On the artistic side, fine Instrumental Ethnic Trance has emerged from artists such as Titin Moraga (Copihue), Subhira (Transubhiriano) and Metahue (Electroétnico). Well known international talents are Ital and Moai Act (Psypsiq Jicuri), both releasing on the fresh local label Antu Records. Other solid names are Ovnimoon (Synergetic) and Zybex (Moonsun).
From the pioneering international DJs like the sannyasin Siddhartha and J’aime Rocco (Tranceluz) the scene has grown thanks to the work of the local legends from Dreamvibe, DJs Cl.ear and Andean Trip. Nowadays, other DJs are emerging in the scene such as Amanito (Etnicanet), Humento (Trancetour), Andtrance (Zonatrance), Astro Angel, Mad and Arditti.
Parties
Evolving from the legendary festival producers Dreamvibe (Earthdance, Urbandance, Honu Eclipse), the Psy Trance movement has expanded to include crews like Trancetour, Global Blue, Phenomenom, Vortex, Nataraaja, amongst others.
Chile is famous for its great wines and jaw dropping landscapes. Being one of the strongest economies in Latin America, it is also one of the most Western, secure and modern. Party prices however, are still similar to Europe regarding drinks and tickets prices but the outdoor festivals are much cheaper.
Being so geographically long, surrounded by the Andean Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Chile possesses the diversity of arid deserts in the north through ancient forests, lakes and active volcanoes, to the icy southern tip of Patagonia. And not forgetting the mystical Easter Island, where Honu Eclipse festival will celebrate a Total Solar Eclipse, 11th July, 2010. So get yourselves prepared for an unforgettable trip to the end of the world and beyond …
