Awakenings Upclose: An Intimate dance floor pilgrimage

The Netherlands braces itself for a unique breed of techno experience this month. Awakenings Upclose, a new addition to the Awakenings festival family, takes place on May 18th and 19th at Houtrak (Spaarnwoude-Park). This two-day event promises a return to the festival's roots, focusing on an intimate connection between music lovers and the artists who soundrack their nights.

A Shift in Focus

Awakenings has carved a niche for itself as a titan of the techno scene, renowned for its grand productions and star-studded lineups. Awakenings Upclose departs from this tradition. Here, the spotlight isn't on the biggest names, but on the exploration of techno's diverse soundscape. The festival aims to be a journey through the genre's well-trodden paths and uncharted territories.

Unparalleled Sound and Unexpected Collaborations

Awakenings prioritizes sound quality, and Upclose promises to be no exception.

Techno A Global Electronic Music Powerhouse

The techno scene boasts a spectrum of clubs. Mainstream giants like Berlin's Berghain offer world-renowned DJs, elaborate sound systems, and intense dance floors. Conversely, underground clubs prioritize a more intimate experience, often showcasing local talent and experimental sounds.

Expect a focus on the music itself. Lighting is often dark, with strobe effects adding to the energy. Attendees come for the pure experience of the music, letting loose and getting lost in the rhythm. Some techno clubs, particularly the more famous ones, are known for their strict door policies. Dress code may not be overtly enforced, but a well-considered, comfortable outfit that reflects your appreciation for the music is a plus.

Respect for fellow dancers and the DJ is key. Be mindful of your personal space and avoid overly chatty behavior on the dance floor.
