Awakenings Festival 2019 Sunday - Live set Joseph Capriati
Area W
Festivals always bring out the shirtless lads who insist on sitting on their mate's shoulders, entirely blocking the view for the rest of us mere mortals. They will chant 'here we fucking go' at every minor drop, completely oblivious to the actual groove. The massive Area W tent at Awakenings is absolutely heaving, a sprawling sea of bodies moving under a canopy of relentless lasers.
Analyzing the decks, this Joseph Capriati live set operates at a driving 129.5 BPM average, sticking rigidly to the 12A key for maximum Techno impact. His mixing is a lesson in big-room dynamics, teasing out the tension before dropping the hammer. For those hunting the Joseph Capriati Awakenings Festival 2019 tracklist, the crate-digging is wonderfully unpredictable.
Whipping out Emmanuel Top's 'Genesis' is a classic nod, but seamlessly weaving in Paul Oakenfold's 'Cafe Del Mar' is what separates the veterans from the kids. The journey kicks off with the heavy opening track 'Igniots (Original Mix)' by Pumping Alien, reaches absolute euphoria during Rank 1's 'Airwave', and finishes with a cheeky, curveball closing track: 'Hello (Club Edit)' by Martin Solveig & Dragonette. Having a laugh, but we love it.
