Awakenings Festival 2019 Saturday - Live set Kölsch
Area V
Ah, the Kölsch festival set. The designated hour where everyone stops aggressively stomping and decides to hug their mates instead. You’ve got a massive crowd of lads in identical black t-shirts suddenly having profound emotional breakthroughs, pointing at the sky with their eyes closed like they’ve just seen god. It’s the closest thing to a religious experience you can get in a muddy Dutch field. The Kölsch Awakenings Festival 2019 Saturday set wraps Area V in a massive, euphoric embrace, turning the industrial festival into an open-air cathedral.
This Kölsch live set glides along at a beautifully paced 128.8 BPM, perfectly engineered for massive outdoor stages. Utilizing the 8B and 12A Camelot keys, the Techno energy arc is entirely melody-driven, layering his signature brass and string patches over incredibly fat, rolling basslines. His mixing style is incredibly grand, allowing long, orchestral breakdowns to fully breathe before dropping the hammer. The Kölsch Awakenings Festival 2019 Saturday @ Area V tracklist is a fantastic crate-digger blend of emotional heavy hitters. Willaris.
K's "DETACH" brings a beautiful, melancholic weight, while the Bontan remix of Josh Butler's "Got a Feeling" keeps the tech-house massive moving. The emotional manipulation begins instantly with the soaring opening track, Polymath's "Alpha Waves". A massive highlight arrives when the classic Minilogue cut "Certain Things Around You" casts a hypnotic spell over the entire crowd. He brings it all home with his own legendary anthem, "Loreley", as the closing track, leaving the techno tourists in absolute tears.
