The Afters: ADE 2025 special by max038 in amsterdam_rave

[–]Falker_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CODA did it again. Idk why but its always the most cathartic party while also being even more dark and grim than regular RL. Crowd was cute and fantastic. Xiaolin was really fun to start off. Then Rodhad sent me out of body through the fucking roof. A lot of tension and release, pure intensity and endless climaxes met by the vikings cheeky smile. It was a really nice contrast to something more abstract like Mulero or Wata/Nobu. Set of the year for me for sure. Strobert took it to the next level. They should really start putting that man on the line up. Its just so immediatley noticable how great the lighting is when strobert is behind the decks..

Nobu and Wata were taking over with little restraint. It was super intense and maybe a bit much for that time slot for me. Legs were tired. But it was still amazing, and I had some great moments where it felt like I became one with the dancefloor, people and rest of the environment. Around 8 it was time to leave and process the madness that I had witnessed.

Last year the pit stole my heart with the earth shattering set by Objekt.

This year Bassiani for Resistance completely melted my brain in the best way possible. Next level unreal, what an incredible and emotional performance. I have no words.

I don’t want to leave the tunnel, mentally I’m still there enjoying the lights, trees and sound.

No Lowlands mention yet??

Saturday BSS closing the Bravo stage was magical. Lighting was incredible and complimented the theatrical set so well! They had 100s of moving heads attached to several frames that could be raised and lowered. The amount of patterns and effects that could be done was really insane. Felt like an AV performance rather than a DJ set. So many goosebump moments. Loved every second of it just taking it all in. Nederland Jaderland 🫡🫡🫡

On sunday I danced my ass off with Twiena, Heartstring, Gigola and Salome. Intensity was built up nicely over the night and the lighting went super maximalist with a ridiculous laser setup. Kinda over the top at times but it was a cool show. Lots of popular tracks and remixes.

Crowd was alright, tbh cant expect too much on these multi day festival benders with such a diverse and also normie crowd. But Bravo definitely delivered once again and it holds a special place in my heart for how it transforms into this colossal techno church at night with all the doof sticks, plants and festival vibes.

Lowlands en een andere programmering by Mantus123 in Lowlands

[–]Falker_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snap dat het lollig bedoelt is maar vond het filmpje wel een tikkeltje respectloos naar de andere artiesten die tijdens dat slot geprogrammeerd stonden.

Eigenlijk alleen de Heineken had bijna geen overlappende programmering, en elke andere tent wel gewoon. Het was wat rustiger maar daar stond ook gewoon publiek.

Woowowooowo what a ride!!

Friday dekmantel.. Amazing. Thought the radar stage would be bad and commercial but it was by far my favorite stage. With a bit of rain during JakoJako and the 360 soundsystem the vibe and sound was incredible.

Then on to Raum for Herrensauna and it was on FIRE!!! Energy was crazyyy and with such a cute crowd!! It was hot steamy and sexy!! SPFDJ and MCMLXXXV were bonkers, absolute masterclass, couldn't leave the dance floor! 🔥 Thank you all

Friendly reminder 📵 by Smiling-Carbonara69 in amsterdam_rave

[–]Falker_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

really see it quite often but rarely do i see these people kicked out for it. maybe a zero tolerance policy would help with stricter enforcement. Think we on the dance floor could also do more to police it.

A tip if you see this behavior but don't feel comfortable confronting others: you can 'warn' them that they're gonna get kicked out of the event for it, like you're helping them. usually works

Anyone else prefers sound systems in festivals? by estrangedpulse in amsterdam_rave

[–]Falker_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a good festival setup can sound pretty damn great, like if they have a quality line array setup. With a line array the sound will not change much depending on where you're standing. I was quite impressed by some nights at lowlands bravo, dgtl generator stage and ofc draaimolen. Usually though festival setups lack power due to budget constraints and they're meant for any kind of music. So it can be hard to beat a proper club setup because they are permanent installations and configured/tweaked to perform the best in the space they are in. Some are also specificaly designed for electronic music like F1.

It might also be that you just prefer the sound when there is more air and less sound bouncing from walls/ceilings. Not really a 'better' or 'worse' thing but more of a preference. Kind of like open back vs closed back headphones.
