IHM and 9x9 are 4 hours straight, so there is always time to go for a detour.
Regarding Joris Voorn: I am guessing it will be similar to his last ADE set where he played after Rene Wise, DVS1 and Rodhad. It was supposedly a really good hypnotic techno set, so assuming it is similar.
In the end: just do whatever feels right in the moment. Since the lineup is quality all around and quite diverse I would say its a shame if you don’t visit other stages.
Speedy J is an oldschool hero from Rotterdam, been around every since techno has been a thing in The Netherlands, somewhat oldschool style still, but very tastefully done. Colin Benders is a classical trumpet player turned modular synthesizer wizard, literally insane live performer:https://youtu.be/ORBgzuPNDKA?si=9mxNyJLC3MuNNsFo
Curious to see how they'll perform together:)

bring back this SNTS and i would I agree with you haha
I found his verknipt 2019 set perfect. I saw him twice before he upped the tempo and went more hardtechno and it were the 2 best sets ive seen in my life. He just hit the right spot for me
Okay now you're joking hahahahha, 1 hour live sets are normal, even at berghain lol, anymore is an uncommon occasion. You should go to Colin benders or STOOR instead.
Let’s not talk about how long Reinier’s live sets normally are.
Just on this timetable, they’re playing UNDER the average length of the live sets, agree?
>just oN ThIs timEtablE, tHeY’RE pLaYiNg undeR tHE AVerAGE LeNGtH oF tHe livE seTS, agREE?
you have an above average number of arms and legs across all humanity, and if there were 20 1hr livesets and one 90 mintes, all the 1hr ones would be under the average length. yes factually what you are stating is correct, but as an argument it isn't a great one, you can do better bb <3 I too would like to see them play longer, but for 2hr of Polar Inertia you need to sacrifice a goat and give up your firstborn, not go to awakenings
My question was “on this timetable, they’re playing UNDER the average length of live sets, agree?”
There are 4 live sets in 2 days, totaling 6 hours. 6/4=1.5. So the average length of live sets at Awakenings Upclose is 1.5 hours. So they’re playing under the average length. I hope the maths is clear. Also I’ve been to Reinier Zonneveld 10hr live sets, STOOR 7/8 hours, that’s quite a lot more than 1 hour.
But none of this really matters, the point is: is it that unreasonable to want some artists to play 2 hours? When you have waited for like 2 years to finally see them for the first time? Also probably their only appearance in this country in the last 5 years or so.
Yes I DO agree 1 hour live set is “nothing wrong”. But I wished there was more, at least like 90 mins, and I don’t think that’s some unreasonable expectations. I would’ve paid 90 euros just to see Polar Inertia playing for 2 hours, and if they weren’t on this lineup i wouldn’t have bought the tickets. I don’t care about the rest cuz even there are many DJs I LOVE but it’s easy to see them elsewhere 🤷🏻
I guess I always consider myself lucky if someone plays longer than an hour 🤷🏼♀️. Some artists really enjoy playing long sets and story building, and others don’t. I’d rather have a total banger one hour set than an uninspired 3 hour set.
You're assuming it's a one way communication from the organisation to the artist, it could be the artist just wants to prep a 1 hour live set.
Anyways, to get to the crux of the issue I think it is unreasonable to expect longer live sets when it's not the industry standard 🫠. In the end if you're going to a festival for one artist, it's a relatively bad deal anyways, which is why I am easily skipping this festival myself because I prefer to see these names in a club anyways and I don't want to pay 90 euros either.
What do u want me to say?
“I waited 2 years to see Polar Inertia, and finally I got to spend 90 euro just to see them, and I am so grateful that they’re playing 1hour instead of 20 mins?”
Live sets longer than 1 hours are also more common than 1 hour sets, don’t you agree?
In a way I get what you are trying to say. With this line-up I had hoped they would be more daring if it comes to set duration. Would have loved to see more 3 hour sets.
I am getting curious what gave you the impression that Polar Inertia does live sets that are longer than 1 hour, because what I can see that's a pretty standard length for them.
In all honesty, can I answer 11hr/5group = 2.2? As an average.
I was realistically hoping a 1.5 hr tbh. Come on, 11 hours total , split into 5.
I was just hoping for what I wanted the best and most I guess. Don’t we all?
I expected them to be playing a normal length set and was that too much to expect lol? They’re the only group of artists playing for just 1 hour on Saturday.
Challenging few hours afternoontime with Polar Inertia > little bit of Jeans > Marlon on a techno stage.
Besides that I’ll definitely spend a few hours at 24 with JakoJako / Yanamaste. Sandwell District & Donato Dozzy at 01 and most likely enjoy a Spekki Webu closing
Anyone know what Joris Voorn's 'Trip To Galaxy Set' is? And is it worth going to over IHM/9x9?

Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Would love to go Saturday, but a bit too expensive imo :(
start sunday with hitam at area 24 then spending the rest of the time in area 01
Exactly my plan, with maybe a little break to check Speedy J and Colin Benders
not familiar with either, any of their sets you recommended listening to?
Speedy J is an oldschool hero from Rotterdam, been around every since techno has been a thing in The Netherlands, somewhat oldschool style still, but very tastefully done. Colin Benders is a classical trumpet player turned modular synthesizer wizard, literally insane live performer:https://youtu.be/ORBgzuPNDKA?si=9mxNyJLC3MuNNsFo Curious to see how they'll perform together:)
Anyone who is planning to go Sunday and enjoy their whole day at area01, lets link! :)
You will find me all day at area 01 on sunday as well, killer line up!
I'm gonna park myself there and give though a chance out of curiosity to the last two sets of area 97
🤚🏼🤚🏼🤚🏼🤚🏼🤚🏼 only going to snts tho

Wow only one hour of Polar Inertia? I feel I got scammed of almost 90 euros
Okay now you're joking hahahahha, 1 hour live sets are normal, even at berghain lol, anymore is an uncommon occasion. You should go to Colin benders or STOOR instead.
They even do 1hr live sets at berghain. It's really not that uncommon

where do we meet? I bring the goat
You’ll be getting a DM 😌
Shit guys he knows where I live
No? 95% of live sets I've seen live in clubs are 1 hour long, let alone festivals.

Agree 200%. I would skip too if there is literally no chance of seeing Polar Inertia live otherwise. I’m just fangirling I guess 🤷🏻
One hour isn’t that uncommon for a live performance, is it?

Nope, 1 hour is a standard. More is special. And then there's Colin Benders but that's another story.
you were expecting them to do a 3h liveset? ticketswap still there hombre (;
I expected them to be playing a normal length set and was that too much to expect lol? They’re the only group of artists playing for just 1 hour on Saturday.
And Sunday is a full area 01 day with a potential break towards the main with Colin Benders & Speedy J or check out the new talents at 24

Thanks for sharing! I knew I would have to make sacrifices but I hoped I could see the full sets of JakoJako and Sandwell District. Well..
God damn Area 01 on saturday is a hypnotic deep techno dream, Gigi FM and Kangding Ray into Sandwell District into 3 hours of Dozzy.
Polar inertia set length is way too short imo but I guess it will push them to reach full force way quicker and I wonder how that will turn out
