Cera Khin
Awakenings Festival 2024
Welcome to the modern hard techno renaissance, where half the crowd found the genre on TikTok last week and the other half are wearing head-to-toe black leather in the blistering summer sun. It is a sea of wrap-around sunglasses, tribal tattoos, and kids viciously shadowboxing the air while making sure their phone camera catches their 'stank face'. But honestly, when the kicks are this filthy, you can't help but join the carnage. The Awakenings outdoor stage is a sun-drenched colosseum of pure, unadulterated industrial warfare.
If you want to understand violence, look no further than the Cera Khin Awakenings Festival 2024 tracklist. Operating at a blistering 154.6 BPM average, she anchors the set in the 12A key, creating a relentless, driving wall of sound that batters the low-end frequencies. Her mixing is fast and unforgiving, dropping in and out of tracks with brutal precision. The curation in this Cera Khin live set is pure rave weaponry.
Throwing in ECZODIA's hard edit of "Bassline Junkie" is guaranteed to cause a riot, while the nod to the classics with "Meet Her at the Loveparade" keeps the older heads happy. The journey starts like a punch to the jaw with the opening track, Vortek's' "Crashdown". She pushes the crowd to the absolute brink with a 12-minute marathon of Lola Cerise's "F_ck You I won't Do What You Tell Me", before ending the slaughter with a chaotic BEAUZ remix of Jengi's "Bel Mercy" as the closing track. Absolute scenes.
