Awakenings 29.12
Sam Paganini
Here come the post-Christmas bloat ravers, sweating out the turkey and wearing sunglasses inside because the strobes are 'too aggressive.' The Awakenings massive is back, looking like a sea of black t-shirts desperately trying to burn off the holiday calories. The Sam Paganini Awakenings 29.12 tracklist is the perfect treadmill for them. The vibe at Awakenings 29.12 is absolute scenes, a colossal industrial cathedral pulsating with relentless low-end. For the DJs taking notes, this Sam Paganini live set sits at a driving 133.1 average BPM.
Heavily rooted in the 12A key, the Techno progression is an unrelenting, linear groove, featuring Paganini’s signature EQ-carving and tight, punchy mixes. The crate digger selections are purely for the heads. He sneaks in Aiken - Confronted, and then has an absolute laugh by dropping Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone, completely destroying the warehouse. The journey is a marathon of peak-time energy.
Blasting out the gates with the opening track Adiel - Blu (Original Mix), the set barely gives you a chance to breathe before peaking with Jamie Jones & Darius Syrossian - Eyes of the Night. Finally, he delivers the killing blow with the closing track Enrico Sangiuliano - Moon Rocks, leaving the crowd properly battered.
