Awakenings ADE 2019 - ANNA
Back to ADE, where the true techno marathoners are surviving purely on caffeine and willpower by day three. They've lost their mates, their phone is dead, but they will absolutely not leave the Gashouder until the final kick drum rings out. The massive industrial dome is a sensory overload of pyrotechnics and slicing lasers, perfectly matching the thick, driving techno. Scrutinizing the ANNA Awakenings ADE 2019 tracklist, the Brazilian powerhouse delivers a thumping 131 BPM average.
Controlling the room through the 12A and 10B Camelot keys, the energy arc is a massive, relentless peak-time assault. Her mixing in this Techno live set is tight and muscular, utilizing long EQ blends to build an unbearable amount of tension before the drop. The selection is a pristine mix of heavy Drumcode-style hitters and quirky surprises. She drops massive weapons like Wehbba’s "Second Nature", but the true jaw-dropper is sneaking in the Claptone Remix of Elton John & Dua Lipa’s "Cold Heart" amidst the techno barrage.
Launching the assault with a heavy, pulsating Unknown opening track, ANNA takes complete control of the room. Following a blistering journey through acidic riffs and heavy low-end, she destroys the dancefloor one last time with the iconic closing track, Enrico Sangiuliano's "Moon Rocks". Proper sorted.
