Sensation Amsterdam 2016
Where duality becomes unity, Sensation Amsterdam 2016 is back in the Dutch capital with a brand new show: Angels and Demons.
Fresh after celebrating its 15th birthday last year, the night will break with convention for the first time, and introduce a black dress code alongside its traditionally white one.
Promising a night of contradictions, Sensation Amsterdam 2016 angels and demons will party to house and trance classics spun by some of this planet's finest names.
Packed full of unrivalled creativity, Sensation has become not just a musical event, but a musical experience.
About the artist:
Sam Feldt
Dutchman Sam Feldt has become quite the tastemaker of his day. After working behind the scenes as a producer for a long time, he decided to show the world what he was capable of by uploading his first tunes by the end of summer ‘13. Within a year, Sam signed with Spinnin’ Records and released his first track. With amazing remixes, as well as solid hits like the early 2015 release 'Show Me Love', which proved to be his definite claim to fame, he's one of the DJs to watch when it comes to a new sound flooding the scene. His sound is characterized by beautifully built melodies, loads of atmosphere, and emotion packed in a tantalizing, often laidback groove.
Mr.White
It isn’t Sensation Amsterdam 2016 without the legendary Mr. White. This pale-faced resident DJ has mastered the craft on how to set the perfect party atmosphere through his subtle house vibes and tech-house grooves. He’s been traveling the world alongside Sensation for several years now, rocking one dance floor at a time on a global scale. Mr. White is not only a dance music icon, he’s an essential ingredient for every Sensation show.
YAX.X
Making his debut appearance at Sensation Amsterdam 2016, please welcome up and coming talent Youri Alexander aka YAX.X. Creator of the anthem for this year’s Sensation Amsterdam ‘Angels & Demons’ show, which illustrates his music and production skills. YAX.X cut his teeth with vinyl from the age of fourteen playing hip-hop, house, and electro. His insatiable desire to spin records saw him play in just about every venue in Amsterdam, where he crafted an art for reading a dance floor and delivering the goods. As his musical direction evolved, he found himself playing house, but he still maintains a sharp ear for a groove or hook that entertains the floor. In the last year, YAX.X has taken his first steps into the European DJ circuit with debut gigs in Barcelona, Valencia, Belgium, as well as Ibiza with gigs at Pacha, Privilege, and Blue Marlin.
Robin Schulz
His 2014 breakthrough single and the multiplatinum certified #1 remix of “Waves (feat. Mr. Probz)” was a first sign of things to come for Robin Schulz. His internationally gold and platinum-certified follow-up single ‘Prayer in C’ featuring Lilly Wood & The Prick went on to become a global hit with Schulz as the first ever German artist to reach the #1 spot in the global Shazam charts. Subsequently ‘Prayer in C’ was officially named the ‘Summer Hit of 2014’ - and rightfully so. Robin Schulz has created his very own, genre-transcending and highly recognizable sound: deep house with organic instruments, always accompanied by a certain melody.
David Guetta
The well-known French DJ/Producer and remixer, David Guetta joins us once again for Sensation Amsterdam 2016. David Guetta has played a pivotal role in turning dance music into the chart-topping juggernaut it is today. With seven successful albums, he is one of the world’s top DJs. It was in 2009 that Guetta became a pop trailblazer. Fusing dance music with urban sounds on his fourth album ‘One Love’, and by teaming up with some of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B. Guetta reinvented his sound for the dance floor, thus creating pop alchemy. Ensuing hits such as ‘I Gotta Feeling’ with The Black Eyed Peas, ‘When Love Takes Over’ with Kelly Rowland, and ‘Sexy Bitch’ with Akon - propelled him into superstardom. He recently released his album ‘Listen Again’ to promote his previous songs including new singles ‘Sun Goes Down’, ‘Pelican’, ‘The Death of EDM’, "Clap Your Hands", and a new version of "Bang My Head".
Nicky Romero
Dutch DJ/Producer and Sensation super fan, Nicky Romero has managed to build nothing short of a remarkable musical empire. World renowned for his countless chart-topping records and electrifying energy in front of hundreds of thousands of people on the world’s most distinguished stages. Nicky Romero is now most widely appreciated for his worldwide hit ‘Legacy’ with Krewella as well as solo singles including ‘Symphonica’ and ‘Toulouse’. His #1 UK collaboration with Avicii ‘I Could Be the One’, smash hit ‘Feet on the Ground’ featuring Dutch superstar Anouk, and most recently ‘Let Me Feel’ which is a collaboration with Dutch duo Vicetone for his Protocol Recordings imprint all contribute to his rising success. With additional remixes for Zedd, Calvin Harris, and many more, Romero has also produced music for Rihanna ‘Right Now’, as well as two tracks for Britney Spears.
Don Diablo
For the first time at Sensation Amsterdam 2016, Dutch DJ/Producer Don Diablo will be make his debut at Sensation Amsterdam. Don was born and raised in Holland, and is currently working on expanding his discography within his global touring schedule. He is a highly sought-after remixer, adding artists such as Madonna, Ed Sheeran, Rudimental, Birdy, and many others to his portfolio. In his Amsterdam based studio, he has collaborated and produced with artists like Kelis, Alex Clare, Example, Diplo and Tiësto - just to name a few. In October 2015, during the annual DJ Mag Top 100 Awards, Don was awarded with the "highest climber of the year" prize, moving him up 52 places in the list from #82 to #30.
Yellow Claw
What started as a way of exploring the gap between hip-hop and electronic dance music turned out to be a successful concept. At the Jimmy Woo nightclub in Amsterdam, Yellow Claw evolved into one of the most surprisingly refreshing DJ projects the world has seen in a while. The legendary DJ trio hailing from Amsterdam has a sound that crosses multiple boundaries and seamlessly mixes up genres. 2015 turned out to be a very successful year for these three with a global festival circuit spanning across the world. In November, they delivered a sharp sounding full-length album 'Blood For Mercy' on Mad Decent, which was followed by a massive US tour. The release, which features world famous guest appearances, has been internationally taking over album charts.
Sensation creates a new show every year to dazzle the senses. Committed to innovation and excellence, Sensation has earned the distinction of being The World’s Leading Dance Event. It succeeds in creating an atmosphere of togetherness at even the most mammoth venues. With everyone dressed in white, the crowd is immersed in a tidal wave of unity and euphoria.
