W&W
Tomorrowland 2022 - WE3
We're not ashamed to admit we needed a tracklist for W&W's Tomorrowland 2022 set after that 'Dragostea Din Tei' remix broke our brains. This is big room house in its most unapologetic, flag-waving form, and sometimes that's exactly what the doctor ordered. The WE3 stage, a spectacle of lasers and LED screens, is the perfect playground for this kind of high-octane, festival-focused electronics. Averaging 132.3 BPM and frequently sitting in the 3B key, the energy balance leans into the mids (0.47 avg) with a solid low-end foundation (0.41 avg) for the drop-centric structure. The mixing is rapid and punchy, designed to maintain peak excitement, with key jumps to 8B and 4B introducing trance-tinged melodies and harder edges.
The high-end energy (0.12 avg) is carefully metered out for supersaw leads and crowd shouts, ensuring every moment feels like a climax. It's a sound built for instant gratification and massive singalongs. The track selection is a parade of festival artillery: the opener 'Repeat After Me' with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Armin van Buuren is a statement of intent. Martin Garrix's 'Animals' gets its inevitable airing, a track that now functions as a cultural timestamp. The 'Freed From Desire' edits, including W&W's own with Ben Nicky, are modern mainstage staples that turn the field into a choir.
JackerJack's 'Drak Horse' remix adds a gritty, big room techno flavor, and the O-Zone remix is the kind of cheeky, viral moment we'll be talking about for years. Hershy Langsam Productions' 'First Dance 01' is a curious, cinematic interlude that shows a hint of depth. The journey from the collaborative bombast of 'Repeat After Me', through the peak-time madness of the 'Freed From Desire' mashups, to the closing nostalgia of Avicii's 'Levels' in W&W's own remix is a relentless, crowd-pleasing arc for this big room house live set.
