Shoutout to the streaming rave veterans projecting the set onto their bedroom walls, pretending the legendary Gashouder lasers are actually hitting their IKEA sofa. It is a noble attempt at recreating the magic. Expansive, emotional techno is echoing beautifully through the empty Gashouder for Awakenings Festival 2020. Dissecting the Joris Voorn Awakenings Festival 2020 tracklist reveals a master of his craft at work.
Locked completely in the pocket between 129 and 130 BPM, the set averages a steady 130.4 BPM. Voorn uses 12A and 3B keys to build a deeply resonant, low-end focused sonic landscape. This Joris Voorn live set is overflowing with immaculate selections. The inclusion of Woo York's 'Echoes From Beyond' brings a cosmic depth, while Boris Brejcha's 'Angel In the Sky' adds that signature high-tech minimal bounce.
The narrative of the mix is flawlessly constructed. Setting a vast, ambient tone, the opening track 'Space Waves' by Holocron Music instantly commands attention. The emotional peak of the set swells beautifully as Kylzz's 'Turning back' washes over the vast, empty room. Bringing the digital journey to a close, the closing track 'FZV' by Tomash Kofa leaves the online massive completely mesmerised.
