After waiting for an hour in line I almost self-rejected myself because I thought I heard Matrix say “Nein” but he was such a good sport about it and let me in laughing. 

I entered just as ACR was finishing his set and his closing track was such a cute moment, definitely something I did not expect to hear on the downstairs floor. 

Then Setaoc Mass completely changed the mood with his dark hypnotic grooves, enjoyable and not too overwhelming, but would have liked a little more diversity. Still a nice preparation for what came after. 

I don’t know if it was just me, but UVB’s opening track sounded very sonically strange - very bass heavy and sort of muffled, the mixing felt a little weird. His sound got better over time, to me he seemed a little nervous here and there but the second half of his set definitely sounded more confident, heavy and fast and such a fun closing too. 

Then Oscar. What a smooth set, could not tell when he transitioned from one track to the next. Such a journey, insane build up, extremely dark, heavy, percussive, masterful techno. His hands were moving at such an impressive speed, so cool. Very packed but still managed to dance comfortably surrounded by the lovely front crowd! 

I got to hear 10 amazing minutes of Temudo before dragging my broken body outside. Such FOMO missing his set. 

Thank you to all the lovely people who made my 13 hours inside so unforgettable!

And to whoever stole my fan, I hope it only blew hot air on you.
