Alesso Presents Eclipse
Tomorrowland 2022 - WE2
Alesso Presents Eclipse at Tomorrowland 2022 is exactly that: a showcase, a spectacle, a reminder that progressive house can still own the biggest room in the world. The production is pristine, the melodies are huge, and we are all willingly swept up in the tidal wave of feeling. This is progressive house with a modern, eclectic edge, averaging 128.2 BPM but with surprising detours. The harmonic backbone is a mix of 12A and 4A, offering both bright euphoria and moodier depth. The energy is well-balanced—a solid low-end (0.49 avg) drives the rhythm, while a strong mid-range (0.42 avg) carries the melodic hooks that are Alesso’s signature.
His mixing is sharp and energetic, blending crowd-pleasers with deeper cuts to keep the journey interesting. The track selection is brilliantly curated. Opening with the Triple X remix of ‘Mundian to Bach Ke’ is an instant, cross-cultural energy injection. His own ‘AGAIN’ is a pristine example of his melodic craft, while the inclusion of Dua Lipa’s ‘Illusion (The Blaze Remix)’ is a left-field, indie-dance gem. Deniz Koyu’s ‘Clicks’ is a underrated tech-house banger, and Solardo’s ‘Riser’ provides a gritty, bass-heavy closing statement.
Tracks like CID & WILL K’s ‘OoooH’ offer extended, rolling grooves. The journey is a dynamic ride: it kicks off with the bouncing Bhangra rhythms of ‘Mundian to Bach Ke’, builds to a peak with the soaring melodies of ‘AGAIN’, and brings us down with the deep, driving pulse of ‘Riser’. It’s a mainstage set with both brains and a gigantic heart.
