Under the motto ‘for fans, by fans’, Reminder aims to set itself apart from other classics events. Rather than focusing solely on well-known anthems, the event also makes room for tracks that are rarely heard at classics parties nowadays. The mainstage takes centre stage in this musical journey, focusing primarily on the period from 2006 to 2012.
Abyss & Judge return to the stage after almost 15 years
One of the most remarkable names on the mainstage line-up is Abyss & Judge. The duo’s last performance dates back to April 2012. Almost fifteen years later, they are making a one-off return to the iconic Hemkade for a special reunion titled The Final Chapter. During this set, they will bring their iconic Dutch Master Works tracks back to life.
Several other artists will also deliver special performances dedicated to the golden era of hardstyle. Max Enforcer presents The Golden Era, while Zany takes visitors back to the signature sound of the label with The Sound of Fusion. Meanwhile, Tatanka and Zatox will join forces behind the decks for Wild Motherfuckers.
The mainstage line-up also features A-Lusion, Adaro vs Crypsis, Josh & Wesz, The Pitcher, Equal Mindz and The One, among others. Jason Payne will close the mainstage with his Millennium Goldschool special, shifting the focus towards millennium hardcore.
Going even further back with early hardstyle
While the mainstage mainly focuses on the period from 2006 to 2012, Reminder takes another step back in time in its second area. This area is dedicated to true early hardstyle, featuring artists who played an important role in the genre’s early years.
Another special performance is scheduled here as well. DJ Thera & Geck-O present 180, a three-hour musical journey through their discography and careers. The extended set gives both artists plenty of room to showcase their musical evolution over the years. The second area also features Alpha Twins, Deepack, DJ Luna, DJ Mani, Dozer and Krusaders, with MC Renegade taking care of the hosting.
Charon celebrates double anniversary at Reminder
The third area of Reminder will be dedicated to a double anniversary. Charon is celebrating 20 years as an artist and the 10th anniversary of his podcast RWND. Under the banner Charon 20 Years x RWND 10YRS, he will host a special area, also giving several upcoming talents a place on the line-up.
Alongside a special anniversary set by Charon, the programme includes Dozer & The Dizzorder pres: 2 Dangerous Show. Deenis, Disruptiv, History of Hardstyle, Low Frequency, Mat Manfridi, Monkey Kong, NXT Identity, Resonance and The Force are also part of the line-up.
