Tomorrowland Belgium 2017
MATTN
Sometimes, the assignment is simple: provide the soundtrack for a vast, sun-drenched field of people jumping in unison. MATTN's Tomorrowland Belgium 2017 set understands this brief perfectly, delivering a mainstage dance set that is equal parts nostalgic and ruthlessly efficient. The atmosphere is pure festival joy, where recognizable vocals and four-on-the-floor kicks trigger instant crowd reactions. With a BPM average of 124.8, this set covers ground from tech-house to big room, using 12A as a frequent harmonic touchpoint.
The energy is front-loaded and anthemic, relying on strong vocal hooks and familiar edits to build a party narrative. The mixing is functional and crowd-pleasing, ensuring the flow never dips below a certain celebratory threshold. The mid-range, packed with vocals and synth stabs, does most of the heavy lifting. The notable tracks are a time capsule of 2017's festival sounds.
Opening with her own 'Café Del Mar 2016' edit is a statement of intent, while dropping the Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike edit of 'Renegade Master' is a certified mainstage weapon. The inclusion of Armin van Buuren's 'You Are' adds a trance-tinged moment of respite, and the Major Lazer remix of Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You' is a shrewd crossover play. The journey is a classic festival arc: it starts with the Balearic vibes of the opener, builds through peak-time bangers like Garmiani's 'Fogo', and closes with the punk-infused energy of Sonic One's 'Punk! (twoloud Remix)'. A definitive snapshot of Tomorrowland's mainstage energy.
