Awakenings Festival 2018 Sunday - Liveset Ida Engberg
Area V
Behold the Sunday festival survivors. These brave souls are nursing three-day hangovers with hair-of-the-dog pints, sheer willpower, and a handful of ibuprofen. They look like the walking dead, but the second the bass drops, they find a second wind from absolutely nowhere. Sun-drenched optimism washes over a weary but incredibly willing crowd, carried by pristine sound design.
This Awakenings Festival 2018 Sunday - Liveset Ida Engberg @ Area V live set is the perfect cure for a battered nervous system. Rolling at a steady 127.3 BPM, the mixing style is deeply hypnotic and patient, heavily focused on 12A and 5A Camelot keys. The Techno energy is meticulously controlled, with a 0.64 low-end average that drives the groove without punishing the exhausted ravers. A proper crate digger will respect the sophisticated track selection, which leans into rolling, percussive tools rather than aggressive bangers.
Dropping the Carlo Lio remix of "Raw Road" alongside her husband Adam Beyer's massive "Your Mind" is a brilliant tactical move. The journey starts with a moody, scene-setting opening track, MATADOR's "Itajai". The absolute highlight of the Ida Engberg Area V tracklist is when the vocal hook of "Your Mind" echoes across the festival, creating pure magic. The weekend finally winds down beautifully with the closing track, Boxia's "Nights Become Days".
