Iridium DJ & TATJANA @ Oude Liefde Roest Niet, Rave to the Grave - Re-run 01-11-2025

Hi people! 

Here’s a new tribute mix I’ve made and this time it’s all about Sensation, the Black edition! Here’s a bit of history about Sensation Black;

Sensation Black was a Dutch dance festival organized from 2002 to 2012, focusing on "darker" music genres such as hardstyle and hardcore. In 2007, the name was changed to "Black" to avoid confusion with the international festival Sensation (formerly Sensation White). The festival was initially held at the Amsterdam ArenA, later at the Ethias Arena in Hasselt, Belgium.

Music style: Sensation Black was known for its focus on harder dance genres, such as hardstyle and hardcore. This was a contrast to the original "Sensation," which focused on trance and house.

Development: The event began in 2002 and ran at the Amsterdam ArenA until 2008.

Relocation: Subsequent editions, up to and including 2012, were held at the Ethias Arena in Hasselt, Belgium. 

Name change: In 2007, the name was changed to "Black" to distinguish it from the international festival "Sensation." There was also a special edition at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp in 2007.

Although I had never attended any editions of Sensation myself, I did had a lot of the compilations in my collection. I've selected, in my opinion, some of the coolest tracks that defined the first few hours from the earlier Black editions. Starting with some groovy club-techno tracks and build up towards some pumping Hard Trance in combination with a few Early Hardstyle tracks!
