Nina Kraviz
Awakenings Festival 2025
Enter the cult of Nina, where the front row is entirely composed of Berghain queue cosplayers in tiny sunglasses, desperately hoping she plays some obscure 90s trance. They will defend her wildest track selections with their lives, pretending that transitioning from gabber into a pop vocal is a highly intellectual artistic statement. Awakenings Festival 2025 is a sprawling, high-octane techno playground, with the crowd entirely locked into her unpredictable, fast-paced spell. Diving into the Nina Kraviz Awakenings Festival 2025 tracklist, the tempo is a blistering 141 BPM.
Dominating the 12A Camelot key, the energy arc is erratic, intense, and completely unhinged. Her mixing in this Techno live set is famously raw and spontaneous, riding the pitch fader and utilizing sharp, aggressive cuts that keep everyone on edge. The crate digging is absolute madness, blending hard techno with bizarre cultural touchstones. She pulls out the legendary Dubfire Terror Planet Remix of Radio Slave’s "Grindhouse", but somehow makes room for a track literally called "pitbull de glockada".
You have to respect the shithousery. The madness kicks off with an acidic, pounding Unknown opening track. After tearing through an eclectic, high-speed journey of psy-trance and industrial beats, she completely bewilders the crowd with the closing track: Aleroj's "KULIKITAKA KICK". Never a dull moment.
