Imagine walking into the Gashouder, the massive industrial dome that usually pulses with thousands of ravers, but this time has an atmosphere that feels different—intimate and almost personal. With the DJ booth set in the center, surrounded by the audience on all sides, you’re not just watching the artist—you become a part of the experience, and the music wraps around you like a warm pulsing wave, pulling you in deeper with every beat.
If this sounds like something that you’d like to be a part of, then Upclose ADE | presents Four Tet this Friday is exactly what you are looking for.
Known for its large-scale productions, massive venues, and cutting-edge lineups, Awakenings has built a global reputation for delivering unforgettable experiences (read about Awakenings Festival 2024 here). One of the reasons behind the event organization’s success is its ability to adapt and evolve, and their Upclose concept is a true testament to that.
As a part of the broader Awakenings offering, Upclose departs from the massive warehouse setting and focuses on a celebration of intimacy and musical exploration. The idea is simple, yet profound: bring the audience closer to the artist both physically and sonically, to create a more immersive and personal experience. Something that isn’t about the spectacle but about connection—between the music, artist, and the crowd.
With Four Tet leading the charge this year, the audience will witness how he transforms the greatness of the Gashouder into something much more personal. Known for his ability to create complex, emotional soundscapes that blur the lines between genres, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) is expected to deliver a set that is introspective and mesmerizing, weaving delicate rhythms and atmospheric textures into the venue’s rich acoustic environment.
Saoirse, on the other hand, who will also be performing during Upclose ADE | presents Four Tet, is known for her ability to keep the crowds on their toes and switch between styles and tempos, ensuring that the energy in the room remains electric. The audience can therefore prepare itself for an evening that feels intimate, yet charged with excitement.
Upclose ADE | presents Four Tet, taking place at the Gashouder this Friday between 15:00 – 21:30, is shaping up to be one of the most memorable events of ADE 2024. Make sure that you don’t miss out by securing your ticket here.
