Awakenings Festival 2019 Sunday - Live set Charlotte de Witte
Area V
There is no crowd quite like an Awakenings crowd: 10,000 people wearing identical black outfits, marching in place like a very sweaty, very serious army. If you smile during a drop, someone will immediately ask you to leave. The massive Area V structure is a relentless assault of strobes, lasers, and pounding sub-bass that rattles your teeth. Operating at a furious 133.2 BPM, this Techno set is locked into the 12A key for a dark, uncompromising tension.
The low-end energy is colossal, ensuring the kick drum never loses its grip. Charlotte’s mixing style is aggressive and fast-paced, slamming acid lines and heavy percussion over each other. The Charlotte de Witte Area V tracklist is a masterclass in acid-laced warehouse weapons. Dropping the X-Tended Mix of 666's "Amokk" is an absolutely mental throwback, and the Bushwacka! Remix of "Love Story" provides a rare moment of melodic euphoria.
The Charlotte de Witte live set wastes zero time, launching with the brutal opening track "Outer Core Journey" by Ma Čka. The crowd erupts for her own massive anthem "Time", before the onslaught concludes with the closing track "Moon Rocks" by Enrico Sangiuliano.
