Tomorrowland 2022 - WE1
B Jones's Tomorrowland 2022 set is the sound of the mainstage in its purest, most celebratory form—big melodies, bigger drops, and zero pretension. This is for when you just want to jump with 60,000 of your closest friends and not overthink the tracklist. The vibe is anthemic and bright, all sun-drenched stages and collective shouts during the builds, a perfect representation of festival house. On a technical level, the set averages 131.1 BPM, leveraging the euphoric, lifting quality of key 12A as its foundation, with shifts to 7A and 9A adding variety.
The energy skews heavily towards the low-end (0.55 avg), giving every kick and bassline a physical punch that translates perfectly to the vast field. It's mixing with a capital 'M' for mainstage, quick cuts and massive transitions designed for immediate impact. The standout tracks are a mix of modern weapons and clever edits. Öwnboss's 'Move Your Body' is the perfect, energetic opener.
The inclusion of Bon Jovi's 'Livin' On A Prayer'—presumably in a thunderous big room edit—is the kind of cheese we secretly adore, while Maddix's remix of Tiësto's 'Lethal Industry' bridges classic trance with modern techy energy. Ummet Ozcan's 'Manipulated' brings a darker, driving edge, and the Dzeko & Torres edit of 'L'amour toujours' offers a moment of hands-in-the-air melody. The journey is a crowd-pleasing rocket ride: it launches with 'Move Your Body', peaks with the nostalgic roar of 'Livin' On A Prayer', and touches down with the driving synth arps of Seven Moon's 'Back2back'.
