Well, it has been a week since I went to Emporium.. but I promised to actually write a report... so im writing it now.
Line-up:

I went to the event at about 2 PM together with a friend of mine & a model... Therefor it started with Beholder & Ballistic for me, but the weather was just too good, so I 1st went to the beach and relax a bit in the water listening to the beats of
Johan Gielen. He played Yves DeRuyter - Born Slippy and some other tunes which were quite nice
Well, the weather looked a bit shitty at one point so I went back to the hardstyle area (which was a tent) listening to the beats of
Deepack. LoL those guys are just extreme nutters.. cant descibe how nuts they are
Playing a few tunes by themselves and some new tunes by Italian DJ "Activator" (aka Megaphone, Manuel Es, Alien Pulse, Knockout, DJ Smok, Spy-Kore, Ultrasonic and Tamok).

Showtek (Duro & Walt) were on the wheels of steel playing for only 30 min but LIVE, that means no Vinyl but all live produced... which was a real nice experience, they surtainly rocked the area
After that
Dana (our national pride) was spinning the famous kinda 'hit' hardstyle tunes, which was just what I needed at that point. Lovely spun by our Queen of Hardstyle
She absolutely made my day.
Max B Grant was on after
Dana, ive got respect for this man. He played lots of Italian hardstyle tunes like Commander & No Good 2005. Really nice combined with wild scratches!

Super Marco May was on the wheels of steel playing some typical italian stuff as well. But didnt see much of him because I was outside getting some drinks & food (btw... 3 euros for fries ! ...expensive... and not even with sauce ->out of sauce lol)..
After that the "Anthem" of
Emporium together with a small set by "
Equinoxx" & "
DJ Michael" (Matrixx residents).
Heres a small sample of the Anthem:

Pavo was on the decks, playing really nice tunes... especially "Zany vs Pavo - Orgazmo" was really nice & hard pounding!
Orgazmo Sample
Pavo.
After that my personal hero
Technoboy was on the decks... spinning the new "Speedwave" at 1st and after that only his own italian productions... SO LOVELY... I absolutely went wild on this DJ ... man... lovely
... playing Tuneboy - Money Talks Bullshit Walks and some other 'classics' imo... really nice..
After that
Darkraver booming some hardcore in the tent. Playing Menace to Society - Chronic Disorder which was really appreciated by the crowd. But I only could see him for about 30 min because I had to go catch the last train towards home. Fireworks at the end on the beach was absolutely amazing!
really nice.
Conclusion:
Crowd; Lovely Crowd! Cant say anything wrong about them, no argue anywhere or anything. 9/10
Food/Drinks; Too bad at 1 point they were out of sauce & beer. Beer came though but the sauce didnt. they could have organised that better. 5/10
DJs; Lovely DJs, absolutely the best names you can get for all styles imo. (Talking about the Main & Hardstyle Area atm) 9/10
Weather; Lovely weather for this afternoon. Sunny... Beach... Music... Lasers... Hot Chicks... What else do you want?
10/10
Location; Good location. Cant say anything wrong about it basicly. 9/10
Absolutely had a blast there. And I hope the next Emporium will be just as good !
See you next year!
