Almost to the day four
years ago I was on the bus driving home to my parents house. As we were about
to enter the small town of Biddinghuizen I started to notice several traffic
signs indicating the way to Defqon.1 At this
time I had never heard of Defqon, I only knew of DEFCON (defence readiness
condition of the US) thanks to several action-movies, but I figured this event had nothing to do with military strategy. That night however I was
about to find out what Defqon.1 was all about. Bass... lots of bass.
Defqon.1
is one of the largest music festivals known for the harder electronic styles
like: Hardcore, Rave, Frenchcore and Hardstyle, and attracts 55,000 visitors
from all over the world.
Since my
bedroom window is less than 4 km from the event an (un)favourable wind sends
all the bass sounds right in.
Even
though that night I got a bit less sleep than I was hoping for I became very
interested in what lured all these people to our small village. By the time I
ended watching the 25 minute Endshow video on YouTube I knew. The nice
melodies, dreamy vocals and hard kicks created an atmosphere unlike any I'd
heard before. I became hooked instantly. Especially the anthem of that edition World Of Madness is to date still one of my favourite hardstyle
songs.
