Awakenings Festival 2018 Saturday - Live set SHDW & Obscure Shape
Area Y
Welcome to Awakenings, where 40,000 people in identical black t-shirts march aggressively to 136 BPM kicks while trying to remember where they parked their bicycles. It's the ultimate pilgrimage for the techno tourist who thinks smiling on a dancefloor is a punishable offense. Relentless, dystopian thunder echoing through a massive festival tent, illuminated by strobes that could trigger an earthquake. The Awakenings Festival 2018 Saturday - Live set SHDW & Obscure Shape @ Area Y tracklist is a masterclass in hard Techno, locked dead on 136.4 BPM.
Operating primarily in 12A, this Awakenings Festival 2018 Saturday - Live set SHDW & Obscure Shape @ Area Y live set is pure low-end devastation (0.77). The mixing is furious, layering loops with brutal efficiency. Dropping 'New Order - Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix)' is an absolute Blade Runner bloodbath of a selection. 'Mario Più - Serendipity (Mas Mix)' brings a lethal trance-laced edge to the onslaught.
The assault begins with the opening track 'Alexander Kowalski & Soren Aalberg - Arrange.1 Remixes (Tom Hades Remix)'. The crowd gets utterly pulverized by 'DJ Eclipse - Walk With Me', before the cinematic, nostalgic finale of the closing track, 'Paffendorf - Theme from Terminator 2: Main Title (Exit Eee Remix Edit)'.
