PAN-POT
Awakenings Summer Festival 2022
Ah, the summer techno festival. A magical realm where sunburned blokes in harness tops aggressively march on the spot, utterly convinced they're in Berlin. It's a proper sea of sweaty, jaw-swinging techno tourists, desperately waiting for the breakdown so they can turn their phone torches on. Yet, under the massive steel arches of Awakenings Summer Festival 2022, the booming acoustics turn the kick drum into a religious experience. This PAN-POT live set is a masterclass in peak-time Techno, riding a relentless 138.7 BPM wave.
The German duo are technically flawless here, locking the groove into 12A for massive stretches before shifting into 7A and 5A to twist the knife. The energy arc is a straight diagonal line pointing directly to absolute chaos, with EQ work that punches a hole right through the mix. The PAN-POT Awakenings Summer Festival 2022 tracklist is an absolute weapon of a crate digger's dream. Throwing in massive bruisers like Adam Beyer & Green Velvet's 'Simulator' alongside sneaky drum-heavy cuts like Truncate's 'User 7 (Drumcell Remix)' shows exactly why they run the scene. The journey is unapologetically brutal.
They kick the doors down with 'Elektrostyle - Replay Silence' as the opening track, tearing through Joyhauser's 'Crawler' to whip the crowd into a frenzy. Finally, they leave the survivors in a trance, deploying the ethereal but heavy 'Plazmatron - Celestial' as the closing track. Proper mad.
