Instrumental track of Hugo & Treats epic finale at the Eclipse Festival 2012, after months of preparation, thousands of kms and a week of jamming in our secret rainforest studio hideout, this most diverse, deep and freaky set of tracks was woven.
At the beautiful Chill Temple stage, aligned with sacred geometry and 108 crystals built into the design of the space, Hugo & Treats created a ritual. Carefully facilitating visualisation and conscious energy embodiment through freestyle poetry over DJ/Fusician Treats’ future beat tapestry, Hugo brought the crowd to a stunning climax. There were tears, laughter, and magical dancing moments. We’ve never seen a crowd melt together in such bliss and ecstasy before, and we are so grateful to the festival for this opportunity.
