Open up to the colours of hardstyle and explore the diversity at C.R.A.F.T Festival
In the modernised market of hardstyle, we have experiences shifts, splits and all kinds of divisions under the sun. Many people seem to believe that the diversity between sounds can be one of negativity, however some people feel as though these broad range of sounds within the genre are allowing hardstyle to open up to all possibilities.
I think this definitely calls for a celebration of all sounds underneath the hardstyle spectrum, don’t you?
The guys from Lose Your Mind seemed to be thinking on the same tracks as me and with their expertise in throwing a damn good party, they have put their heads down once again and have been extremely busy with creating the concept for this years edition of C.R.A.F.T. Held on the 25th of July, this new concept of celebrating the diversity of hardstyle is one event that cannot be missed!
A short while ago, the stages and their concepts were announced. Unfortunately posted in Dutch, for all of you international folks out there, we are able to give you the rundown of these stages in English!
#1 – Penoze – The mainstage of C.R.A.F.T festival this year, expect the best of the best as we bring the hardstyle kings of the underground on the largest stage. Lights, visuals and all that a production needs, this stage can cater for just about everyone!
#2 – De Tijdmachine – After the success of De Tijdmachine at the conclusion of 2014, this year Lose Your Mind has brought this fresh concept to rock your body and soul! This will ignite those well craved old-school feels, a reuniting with the sound that you fell in love with and oh, lots of groovin’ basslines!
#3 – Reckless – Raw, raw and yes, raw! Every raw lover will find themselves at this stage fist pumping and ‘hakken’ non-stop until the music ends. Bringing you the very best in all things brutal, it’s definitely time to unleash your inner beast!
#4 – Access – This newly designed concept and stage has the role of representing the accessibility within the hardstyle sound. You can bring your non-hardstyle loving friends along to this stage and I can guarantee that they will have a damn good time!
#5 – Future – This stage is exactly what it reads, it’s all about the future generation! Including a very special contest concept (which will be announced soon), this stage is going to be full of next generation superstars that you should all keep your eyes peeled for!
We are absolutely buzzing to hear which incredible artists that will be brought along to C.R.A.F.T this year! Are you ready to lose your mind? Are you ready for one day in which you ‘can’t remember a fucking thing?!”
