44 Issue 63 / 2014 FESTIVALS guestlist.net Kick starting the festival season off with a bang we headed over to Amsterdam for DGTL. We celebrated the Easter weekend partying in the glorious sunshine at an old docklands listening to some of the best electronic music around. DGTL FESTIVAL REVIEW @ NDSM DOCKLANDS, AMSTERDAM SATURDAY The shenanigans all kicked off on Satur- day, the sun was beaming down and it was a perfect day to be outside with a beer enjoying some great music. Boarding the ferry over to the NDSM docklands, excite- ment and anticipation filled the air and we were eager to get stuck in. Hearing the pumping bass that was rippling through the water, and spotting a predominant- ly huge crane carrying the four letters DGTL...we knew we had arrived! Walking through the festival grounds, I was instant- ly taken aback by the sheer detail of the infrastructure and organisation. Stamped with a clear theme and identity, this years special focus was DGTL Revolution and Art. Their aim was to connect innovation of industrial nostalgia of past and present. Embracing the warehouse and industrial vibe, the dockyards were transformed into a playground of madness. As well as live music there were live art installations, innovative lighting, epic sculptures and dancers, DGTL went above and beyond to provide us with the ultimate festival experience. Situated in the heart of Am- sterdam, the old shipyard on the seafront of the city harbour was home to over 80 artists based on 6 stages throughout the two days. With a lineup forged from the crème de la crème of emerging and es- tablished musical talent, from both Dutch and international grounds this festival had all the right ingredients for a great week- end. Heading to the Audio greenhouse German duo Niconé and Sascha Braemer were getting things warmed up, finishing off a beer to kick off the mid afternoon vibes we made our way over to the Red Bull Arena to catch some of Wolf Music graduate, Medlar. Setting the mood with some chilled beats the suns rays were beaming through the arched tent, with an amazing view this was definitely a good spot. We then made a dash for the Crewe Love tent where Wolf+ Lamb and Soulclap were playing on rotation with a handful of other special guests. Topping off the night we enjoyed a hard hitting infused set from Agoria in one of my favourite tents of the weekend, DGTL.
