Recording of Yant at The Tunnel, Draaimolen Festival 2023, Day 2.

Yant at Draaimolen Festival 2023

I chose to reflect this mix of hypnotic and deep with a little bit of break in my set because the mix affects me emotionally and I always find the mix of hypnotic and off beat / break sound at slower tempos exciting and deep. The way I reflect my emotions is directly linked to the choices I make in my set. The effect of my set reflecting a deep and emotional journey and seeing the effect it will create is one of the main things that connects me to this set.

For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

Psychotherapist by day, mind-hacker by night, here comes Leipzig’s Vincent Neumann with two hours of widely versatile techno and electronics. All in jagged dynamics and hi-NRG propulsion, Neumann’s mix is an ode to old-school raving, back when the DJ’s name was of no importance but the flow of the music itself was all that mattered, or when the true spirit of techno rhymed with riotous communion and a new horizon of possibilities, not some ultra fast-fashion side issue. The result is a fiery jaunt across some of those balls-out anthems old and new that got people converging from all around the country onto secret places, eager to let the socio-political frustration of their age out, regardless of how the norm thought of them. A manifesto-like set to play out loud and share around.

Back in June we welcomed Takaaki for his second On the 5th Day appearance and it was another incredible experience! The energy he created was off the scale and we were left gagging for more, wholeheartedly wishing we could turn back time and re-live it all.

Well, because he’s a legend, he’s given us the go ahead to share his set recorded live on the night, so reliving it is entirely possible.

Boom! The 62nd addition to our podcast stream and another gem we’re immensely proud of. Thank you, Takaaki!
