Awakenings Festival 2018 Sunday - Live set Nicole Moudaber
Area W
By Sunday at Awakenings, the crowd is running purely on fumes, willpower, and whatever they found at the bottom of their bum bags. You've got veterans with thousand-yard stares trying to find themselves next to the speaker stacks, while the techno tourists have officially given up and are sitting on the grass. The colossal, open-air structure of Area W at Awakenings 2018 is battered by unrelenting bass, keeping the surviving ravers totally locked in. The Awakenings Festival 2018 Sunday - Live set Nicole Moudaber @ Area W tracklist is exactly what you need to resurrect a Sunday crowd. Locked into a steady 127.7 BPM, this Nicole Moudaber live set is a masterclass in dark, rolling Techno.
She absolutely dominates the 12A and 3B keys, pushing a completely massive 80% low-end energy. Her mixing is famously brooding, using incredibly long, hypnotic blends that swallow you whole. The track selection is proper dark-room artillery. Josh Butler's "Anonymous" provides a slinky, driving groove, while Ohmme's "Excess" brings that quintessential Awakenings rumble. Slipping in Philthy Chit's "Southbound On the Northern Line" is a brilliant, progressive curveball that gives the exhausted crowd a momentary breather.
The arc is perfectly crafted for the festival's dying hours. Launching with an unreleased thumper as the opening track, the mood is instantly uncompromising. Boris Brejcha's "I Want You (feat. Ginger)" creates absolute scenes, winding its 11-minute frame around the crowd before she finishes brilliantly with the Maceo Plex Renaissance Remix of Remake's "Blade Runner" as the closing track.
