Adam Beyer
at our virtual Gashouder for Awakenings Festival 2020 | Online weekender
Awakenings virtual streams were a surreal experience, mostly featuring thousands of people aggressively typing 'TRACK ID???' in the chat while trying not to wake up their flatmates. It was a golden era for living room ravers who suddenly realized they didn't have to queue for 45 minutes to use a portaloo. The virtual Gashouder for Awakenings Festival 2020 | Online weekender radiates pure industrial dread, complete with digital lasers slicing through your monitor. The Adam Beyer at our virtual Gashouder for Awakenings Festival 2020 tracklist is a clinic in unrelenting groove.
Pushing a steady 133.0 BPM, this Adam Beyer live set leans into the darker, Rominimal-adjacent side of his techno repertoire, heavily featuring 7A and 12A keys. He commands a thick 56% low-end energy, utilizing long, methodical blends to slowly crank the pressure until the digital floor completely caves in. His crate-digging here is absolutely sorted, blending old-school trance nostalgia with modern thump. Dropping the Rising Star Mix of Armin van Buuren's "Shivers" is a massive, unexpected emotional hit, while the Umek Remix of Yves Deruyter's "Calling Earth" brings that classic, warehouse-rattling devastation.
It’s a masterfully controlled burn. Setting the tone with the Steel Grooves Remix of SubSight's "Cabarete" as the opening track, Beyer immediately locks you in. The Darius Syrossian Remix of Clyde P's "The Gwana March" provides a heavily swung, groovy highlight, ultimately culminating in absolute scenes with the iconic closing track, "Moon Rocks" by Enrico Sangiuliano.
