Awakenings Festival 2019 Sunday - Live set Alan Fitzpatrick
Area W
Sunday at Awakenings Festival 2019 in Area W called for a melodic techno journey, and Alan Fitzpatrick's live set answered with a precision-engineered blend of drive and emotion. Under a setting sun or perhaps stark stage lighting, he weaves a narrative that's both muscular and introspective. Hovering around 133.2 BPM with a strong presence in the 7A and 12A keys, the sound is characterized by rolling basslines, atmospheric pads, and crisp percussion that builds without ever losing its groove.
The energy balance (avg_low 0.57) ensures a solid foundation for the melodic elements to shine, with Fitzpatrick's mixing showcasing a DJ's ear for harmonic progression and dynamic ebb and flow. For the diggers, the opening 'Arjun Vagale - Murmer' immediately establishes a deep, hypnotic vibe, while 'Roberto & Jamie Anderson - Corrugata' delivers a percussive, driving highlight. 'J.1.0 - Crystaline (Original Mix)' offers a shimmering, melodic interlude, and his own remix of 'Raito - Summer of Love' serves as an emotional peak, blending nostalgic synth work with modern techno force.
The set begins with the subtle tension of 'Murmer', climbs through layered epics like 'Sundriver - City Lights', and winds down with the soulful sample of 'Doc Manny - Gypsy Woman' as a perfect, humanizing closer.
