Awakenings Festival completes its lineup for the 2026 edition

Awakenings Festival

With the announcement of the final wave of artists, Awakenings Festival completes its lineup for the 2026 edition. Following earlier announcements featuring artists such as Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, 999999999, Pegassi, Adrián Mills, I Hate Models, Chlär x Yanamaste, Josh Baker, Mau P, Freddy K, Kettama, Dax J, DJ Rush and Adriatique, the full program for July 10–12 in Hilvarenbeek, The Netherlands is now revealed.

With the final wave announced, Awakenings Festival 2026 reveals its complete musical spectrum. Artists such as Ben Klock, Len Faki, Speedy J, Rødhåd, Freddy K, Marrøn, Amoral, Stranger x Talismann, Philippa Pacho, Adiel and Beste Hira represent the foundations of techno, delivering deep and driving sets rooted in club culture.

Ignez and Mac Declos add a contemporary interpretation of these roots, while Joseph Capriati and Joris Voorn bring their signature groove-driven, high-energy approach.

Anetha and Nico Moreno introduce a harder edge shaped by contemporary rave influences, and Adriatique, Chris Avantgarde and Innellea further broadens the spectrum with a sound that moves between techno and the more melodic side of the spectrum.

Further depth comes from artists shaping the current scene. Rene Wise and Elli Acula explore hypnotic and high-tempo territories, while Patrick Mason, FJAAK and Indira Paganotto bring a strong sense of performance and intensity.

Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte continue to define the contemporary sound of Awakenings, delivering high-impact, forward-driven techno at the heart of the festival.

A series of special back-to-back performances adds another layer to the program, with collaborations such as East End Dubs x Vintage Culture, Mahmut Orhan x Shimza, Max Dean x Prospa, Cynthia Spiering x Reinier Zonneveld (live), MCR-T x Partiboi69, Joris Voorn x Kevin de Vries, Chlär x Yanamaste and DJ Gigola x Funk Tribu highlighting Awakenings‘ ongoing focus on unique, collaborative formats.

House-driven sounds also play a key role within the program. Marco Carola brings his long-established, flow-led approach, while Mau P and Josh Baker add a modern, club-focused energy.

Gordo brings a dance floor-driven and internationally oriented approach while Enzo Siragusa, Franky Rizardo, and Easttown reflect a new generation pushing modern house forward through rhythm and energy.

These acts highlight the role of (tech-)house music within the wider Awakenings program, with afro-leaning and melodic sounds adding contrast and flow alongside the festival’s techno-driven core.

Together with the previously announced artists, the complete lineup spans techno and its related styles, from peak-time intensity to hypnotic, melodic and experimental sounds across multiple stages.

Following the successful introduction of a new festival site layout last year, Area A returns in the forest. Last year this was the favorite of many with massive vibes under a roof of light and lasers across the whole weekend.

For those looking to trade sunny open-air settings for a more intense club atmosphere, Area X offers a contrasting experience. Here, techno heavyweights take visitors into darker, more stripped-back territory, evoking the feeling of a sweaty warehouse club where time fades into the background.

At the heart of the festival, mainstage fanatics can dive into the large-scale production and layered stage design characteristic of Area V. Elsewhere on the site, a hidden area tucked away deeper in the terrain captures the spirit of smaller, more intimate rave settings, offering a raw counterpoint to the festival’s larger stages.

The festival experience extends far beyond the stages for those who go all in for the weekend. Camping guests have access to an after-hours program running until the break of dawn, alongside a daytime offering that includes space for sports, recovery and relaxation. Beach areas, swimming spots and shaded chill-out zones reinforce the feeling of a summer getaway shared with friends.

Awakenings offers two campsite options. Grand Camping provides all essential facilities in a cute and vibrant setting, while the Comfort Camping adds extra comfort and service away from the crowds.

For those seeking more luxury, the Relax Resort offered bungalows in the safari park perfect for groups of friends, which have already sold out. New for 2026 are swimming pools included with both the Comfort Camping and the Relax Resort.

Friends Fields at the Comfort Camping are sold out already and now only available on the Grand Camping. With ticket demand running high, Awakenings is headed for a full sell-out way ahead of schedule.

Awakenings Festival 2026 takes place July 10–12, 2026, in Hilvarenbeek, The Netherlands. Tickets available HERE.

Emi Galván debuts on Mango Alley with ‘Everlong’ / ‘Lies’

Emi Galván
Emi Galván

Argentinian ace Emi Galván brings you his latest double A-side Everlong / Lies, available on Mango Alley.

One of the leading lights of the progressive house scene, Emi Galván’s fellow luminaries Hermanez and Ruben Karapetyan bring their own sensational remixes of Everlong to this four-track masterpiece.

Everlong and Lies are two-sides-of-the-same-coin tracks, balancing emotional depth with danceability. They showcase a cohesive artistic vision, blending emotion, energy, and movement while reaffirming a distinctive approach to modern progressive house.

Press ‘play’ on Everlong and you will see what I mean. A bright, bold beat immediately starts to make you smile. A sweet, bouncy A-C-G bassline will get you moving in your seat.

This is evolution, not revolution, as layers of joyous synth creep up slowly, uplifting you slightly more every second. By the time the arpeggiated synth topline comes in, you’re hooked.

Emi Galvan Everlong Lies Mango Alley
Emi Galván – Everlong / Lies

Here’s what Emi Galván had to say:

‘Everlong explores the concept of eternal life through a powerful and melodic structure, gradually building intensity with soaring harmonies and a driving energy that feels both uplifting and timeless.

The track is designed to give you a sense of expansion and connection, making it a strong weapon for peak-time moments.’

Next up is the broody, tense Lies. Starting with a chaka-chocalho rhythm, the deep sleazy synth bass takes you back below the canopy, where the campfire roars in the clearing.

The intensity builds to a clave at two minutes so intense, like you are being gunned down by music. Sublime stuff. From here, Lies calms and rebuilds with a hidden two-word vocal deep in the mix.

Emi Galván gives a deeper explanation:

‘Lies has a more personal and grounded narrative, inspired by the deception of a past relationship. This story is translated into a deep, groove-driven progressive house cut, where rhythm and tension take center stage.

With its hypnotic flow and subtle attitude, the track invites you into the darker, more introspective side of Everlong / Lies.’

Hermanez’s remix of Everlong stays true to the original, whilst adding something dark. Whereas the original stays joyous high in the ether, the Hermanez remix lets you float like a helium balloon, before tugging on your string to bring you back where they all float down.

Ruben Karapetyan’s remix keeps the dance / float aesthetic, adding to the complexity drum patterns, washing the dreamy synths between background and foreground, with a pivotal buildup around 5 minutes.

Argentina is one of the hottest progressive house scenes in the world and Emi Galván is cooking in 2026. Make sure you catch one of his shows this year, in South America, Sri Lanka or Croatia, amongst others.

Deep Dish

Electronic music legends Deep Dish make their monumental return to Global Underground with #GU49 Dublin. And what a return it is going to be.

25 years ago, Global Underground and Deep Dish brought you the incredible #GU21 Moscow. Then came the seminal #GU25 Toronto, where Sharam and Dubfire showed the world how it’s done.

This May, Deep Dish complete the trilogy with #GU49 Dublin. And it’s worth the wait. Sharam and Dubfire deliver a masterclass in mixing. This isn’t just an album. It’s a legacy.

GU City Series albums are serious collectables and #GU49 Dublin is an album you simply can’t afford to be without in your collection. #GU49 Dublin also features an album exclusive Deep Dish remix of the seminal Moderat track Eating Hooks, which will be released as a single on 1st May.

Deep Dish – #GU49 Dublin

Here’s what Deep Dish had to say:

“Global Underground was foundational for us, not just as a platform but as a legacy — a series shaped by decades of iconic artists who helped define the culture of DJing and club music.

It was always about storytelling, and in many ways each compilation served as a musical time-capsule. We always tried to include the most timeless songs possible and coming back to the series now feels like closing a circle while opening a new chapter.”

Andy Horsfield (Global Underground Founder) adds:

“It’s an honour to be able to team up with Ali and Sharam again to deliver yet another outstanding GU City series album, this time from the vibrant city of Dublin.

Deep Dish have again excelled themselves just like they did with Moscow and Toronto in delivering a stunning album with #GU49 Dublin. I’m sure the GU and Deep Dish fans across the globe are going to love this album as much as we do.”

Excited? You will be. Stay tuned for a special track listing announcement in February.

#GU49 Dublin will be available as download, CD and vinyl, with a very SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR’S EDITION, with more details to come.

Argy Announces ‘NEWORLD II’, Featuring a Host of Special Guests

Argy returns with NEWORLD II, the next chapter in the NEWORLD movement, an evolved phase that expands the vision and draws listeners deeper into a universe that is no longer just heard, but Entered.

Where the first release opened the gate, this one assumes you already walked through it. Blurring the boundary between ancient ritual and technology, each new track functions as a signal, designed not simply to satisfy musical taste, but to activate something more profound within you.

The first ‘New World’ album laid the foundation of the project, amassing hundreds of millions of streams worldwide and establishing that Argy no longer fits within a single genre, but exists within his own mental World.

Across both albums, the project has delivered two Gold-certified records, Aria and Sierra, with Sierra marking a pivotal moment of this second phase. Following a landmark year in 2025, Argy enters this release at the height of his global influence.

Standout records such as Melodia with Meduza and Voices in My Head with Anyma have cemented his status as a global superstar and one of the most streamed artists in his genre.

Beyond the music, Argy’s imagery has become a point of fixation, continuously discussed and amplified across social platforms, extending his presence into fashion and culture through cover features with L’Officiel and Rolling Stone.

In an era defined by speed and saturation, Argy has developed a rare sense of iconic status, an immediately recognizable presence where sound, image, and identity function as one.

NEWORLD II unfolds beyond sound as a global album tour that has become one of the most expansive spectacles in the modern electronic music scene. Conceived as a parallel world and a shared spiritual gathering, it brings together audiences across continents through a fully realized audiovisual experience.

Each concert is meticulously composed, transforming the music into a living extension of the artist’s inner cosmos while enveloping thousands in a single, collective moment. To enter NEWORLD II is to accept a shift in perception. This is not escapism: This is initiation. The work continues.
