Tomorrow it’s real. Friday the gates open, and somewhere around 11:30 Sefa walks out for “This is Sefa” and sets the tone for everything that follows. Opening sets are underrated by people who show up at 4pm. Nobody’s tired yet, nobody’s lost their friends yet, the whole thing is still pure potential. These are the tracks for that first hour, when the field is filling up and you still genuinely believe you’ll make it through to the Endshow.
1. Sefa - The Omega
Sefa operates in his own lane and barely anyone can follow him there. Piano, frenchcore, classical training, all of it folded into something that should not work and absolutely does. This is the right way to open a weekend, with the one act nobody else can imitate.
2. Sephyx - Ascension
The title does the work here. It climbs and climbs and you go with it. A first-hour track if there ever was one, the kind that makes the half-empty field feel like the main event already started.
3. Refuzion - Memories
A little early to be getting sentimental, but Refuzion has never cared about appropriate timing and neither should you. This one’s for the people you arrived with, before the day scatters everyone and you spend an hour texting a meeting point nobody can find.
4. Demi Kanon & Bass Modulators - Who I Am
Two names that know exactly what they’re for. Big, bright, declarative hardstyle, the kind that fills a field before noon. Put this on as you walk through the gate and dare yourself not to grin.
Show up early. The 4pm crowd doesn’t know what they missed.
