Indira Paganotto
Awakenings ADE 2023
ADE is the global summit for people who think wearing all black makes them mysterious. The Awakenings crowd here are proper techno tourists, clutching their overpriced waters while getting absolutely battered by psy-trance kicks. You've got lads who thought they were coming for a minimal set questioning their entire existence. Pure, unadulterated chaos.
A relentless, strobe-fueled assault on the senses in a warehouse that feels like it’s about to achieve liftoff. This Indira Paganotto live set is a wildly aggressive hybrid, averaging 139.6 BPM. Driven heavily by the 7A key, the harmonic tension is dark and uncompromising. The mid-range energy dominates here, allowing the psy-trance squelches and galloping basslines to completely take over the soundscape.
The Indira Paganotto Awakenings ADE tracklist is completely unhinged in the best way possible. Throwing Laurie Anderson's avant-garde "O Superman" into Henrique Camacho's "Ragga-Tech" is the kind of madman behavior we absolutely love to see. She kicks the doors firmly off their hinges with the opening track, her own "Vendetta". The crowd collectively loses their minds when Luca Agnelli's "Game Over" drops, before she completely melts whatever is left of their brains with the techno closing track, Henrique Camacho's "50's".
