  • The Belgian festival summer will once again close its doors in September with Eargasm Open Air. This year over 50 DJs will play on four stages. Per usual, the main stage will be taken up by psy-trance jocks. Israeli Afgin will present his debut album, while Finnish spinner Haltya will make this first appearance in the country. Locals Bitkit and Psyvader will act as support. The second stage, hosted by Ketaloco, will bring you minimal, progressive and tech-house from Hybrid, Justin Space (Finland), Jack Creed (Poland), Anderson (UK) and Massimo Girardi. But if all that is too much for you, there's always the Maroccan chill-out area where you can dream away with a Chai tea or a coffee. As if music weren't enough, Eargasm will also be making you feel good in other ways: The festival supports Blindnote, an organization which helps facilitate cataract operations for African children. If you see the lights go off at the festival every so often, that'll be the organizers paying tribute to the campaign. Still on the fence? To get a taste of what you might be in for, take a look at the video below for highlights from 2008's Eargasm.
