Proving once again why they are one of the island’s leading institutions by showcasing their heritage as a home to clubbers across a mix of cultures. Originally inspired by the concepts of Spanish philosopher Antonio Escohotado, Amnesia proudly aims to provide a resilient sanctuary where people can momentarily escape their troubles, disconnect, and become part of an international community of dancers, artists, creatives, freaks, outcasts, social celebrants and in general, free-spirited individuals.
Simultaneously, in the Main Room, resident DJ Luca Donzelli delivered a powerful blend of house beats and groovy techno, while Palestinian artist Sama’Abdulhadi graced the stage with a pure eclectic set that captivated the discerning audience. She left no room for disappointment, serving up a perfect warm-up for the dynamic B2B set of Adam Beyer and Layton Giordani, who skillfully controlled the decks until the onset of Sunday morning.
As Adam Beyer openly celebrated his 47th birthday during his set, Layton Giordani, who had recently performed alongside him at behemoths Brooklyn Mirage and Printworks, actively joined in the celebration. The duo flawlessly commanded the expansive Main Room, delivering a masterful selection of powerful and standout Techno tracks from artists including Damian Lazarus, to Eli Brown, HI-LO and Danny Avila, fresh, innovative, and also steeped in an ever buoyant knowledge of what works a dancefloor into seduction.
Israeli artist Guy Gerber, the head honcho of the Rumors brand and party, created an unforgettable experience layed out for melodic enthusiasts and devoted partygoers from across the white island. As the sun began to gradually rise, maestro Maceo Plex took over the Terrace, casting an edgy electronic cosmically channeled spell over the room with his superbly crafted set. Reinier Zonneveld then took charge in the Main Room, offering a superb set combined with stunning live performance complete with raw acid peaks and classic rave sounds that continued to resonate until 8am.
