Phatwell Releases Powerful New Single ‘We Started A Fire’
From bursting onto the scene after making his debut in 2020, Phatwell has gone from strength to strength each year since. Since then, 2024 was undoubtedly his best year yet with the releases of ‘Time You Got For Love’ and ‘I Get This Feeling’, both incredible progressive house singles that bring us back to that golden era of Swedish House Mafia and Avicii. Now, showing no signs of slowing down, Phatwell is back for his first release of the year ‘We Started A Fire’.
In a world teetering on the edge of irreversible change, the song ‘We Started a Fire’ captures the essence of humanity’s complex and dangerous romance with technology. Over the past 250 years, we have nurtured and fueled this relationship, believing it would elevate us to new heights. But now, it feels as though we have reached the climax of this love story—one that has created the perfect storm of climate change, artificial intelligence, and totalitarianism.
The song’s timing is crucial. In an era marked by environmental crises, rapid AI development, and political instability, ‘We Started a Fire’ feels like a prophetic warning. The “point of no return” isn’t just poetic; it’s a stark acknowledgment of the critical thresholds we’ve crossed, especially concerning climate change and digital ethics. The lyrics repeatedly drive home the inevitability of destruction: “We started a fire, started a storm. Started something we cannot control. We passed the point of no return. Started a fire. Now watch it burn”.
One of the most striking verses, ”You and me we were ecstasy, we were everything they wanted to be”, encapsulates the intoxicating allure of technology. It speaks to our initial fascination with innovation, how we embraced it with
open arms, believing it would set us free. The metaphor of ”gasoline and a spark” further amplifies the volatility of
this relationship, suggesting that our relentless pursuit of progress was always destined to ignite an uncontrollable
blaze.
This is more than a song; it’s a reflection of the times we live in. It’s a reminder that our love affair with technology,
once full of promise, has led us to the precipice of destruction. Whether it serves as an elegy for what we have lost
or a wake-up call for those willing to act remains to be seen. But one thing is certain—the fire is burning, and the
world is watching. In its raw, unfiltered honesty, ‘We Started a Fire’ holds up a mirror to humanity, daring us to face the reflection.

How Atlanta’s Newest Festival Just Elevated the Underground Scene
What started as grassroots, techno-driven warehouse parties has officially exploded into the largest techno festival the city has ever hosted.
Over Labor Day weekend on September 4th & 5th, local organizers Twisted Lines debuted Twisted Festival at Atlanta Utility Works. The result was an unapologetic, high-energy atmosphere that marked a turning point for Atlanta’s underground music scene.

The Atmosphere & Stages: Industrial Architecture Meets Raw Energy
Historic masonry and sprawling ironwork set the tone immediately. Atlanta Utility Works provided an ideal industrial playground for the event. Overall, accommodating three distinct environments designed to give dancers room to move freely throughout the venue.
The Machinery: Enclosed within towering factory walls, this stage delivered the unfiltered, driving industrial grit techno was built upon.
The Ruins: Set inside the open-air foundry framework. This space paired weathered brick structures with precision laser projection as the backdrop.
The Industrial Forest: Tucked away behind the warehouse, this outdoor area combined strobes and organic canopy cover, creating a hypnotic open-air space.

Beyond the architecture, the crowd culture immediately stood out. The dancefloors felt genuinely welcoming, safe, and community-focused, prioritizing mutual respect and a shared love for heavy rhythms over club pretension.
Heavyweight Sound & Relentless Selectors
A proper techno gathering lives and dies by low-end fidelity. Twisted Lines brought in a heavyweight Funktion-One sound system, delivering chest-rattling bass without sacrificing midrange clarity. Acoustic bleed across the three stages was virtually nonexistent, and the audio stayed locked in without a single outage over both nights.
That acoustic power backed a stellar international and domestic roster featuring artists such as Kobosil, Onlynumbers, Ueberrest, EMILIJA, Fenrick, BAUGRUPPE90, and Selective Response. The curation bridged relentless techno, hard grooves, and acid textures. This kept the energy moving from early evening through the late night.

Logistics & Transit
Navigating logistics can make or break an urban event, but access remained straightforward throughout the weekend.
Location & Rideshare: Situated in East Point, the venue sits roughly 10–15 minutes from Atlanta’s International Airport. Rideshare fares generally fluctuated between $5 and $25 depending on departure timing and surge pricing.
Accommodations & Walkability: With multiple hotels located within a 5-minute drive, transit was minimal. The surrounding area also proved easy to navigate on foot, making for a manageable 20- to 30-minute walk (around one mile) to nearby lodging.
On-Site Flow: Bar queues moved quickly, water stations were easily accessible, and entry lines stayed organized even during peak hours.
What’s Ahead for 2027
Twisted Lines took an ambitious step forward with this debut. They turned underground passion into an expansive, community-centered festival format. The organizers have already confirmed that the festival will return next year, with word spreading that the experience could expand across a full three-day weekend. If this first edition proved anything, it’s that Atlanta’s appetite for underground techno is not just thriving–it’s shaping the future of regional electronic music events.
