B-Front, Kidd Kaos, Alphaverb, psyko punkz and mad dog all played a really awesome set.

Had an awesome party yesterday
didnt went to all the things I wanted to go ( I havent even been at the Loudness stage), since my friends didnt want to leave the mainstage.
better next time I suppose.
Started of with Alphaverb, which immediately set the mood for me, got all pumped there ( Roots of Evil, WTF, etc )
then went looking around everywhere, and found the mainstage. (hard to miss though
)
been at Max Enforcer, who played some awesome tracks!
Then Psyko Punkz ( bit the same as they always play, but it was oke (that Boom Papi song is cool
)
After that: Deepack, who were really pounding as hell, damn though I got bored by their kicks after a while, so left for some eating and stuff.
I got back, and found Crypsis playing the most awesome set that day Holy shit, I cant remember I went that wild before
Then Wildstylez who played an oke set ( though I almost wanted to leave when I heard "down with the hardstyle"
Luckily, it was worth the waiting, because the Donkey Rollers totally made everything perfect. Their energy was mindblowing, and so were the tracks!
Got hungry/thirsty after these sets again, so we went off for some eating and drinking again, and came back to hear the end of Zatox's set.
The night began to fall, and the lights were shining when Noisecontrollers came up. They played a bit the same tracks as always, with ofcourse the anthem (both parts).
And then, the ending with Neophyte. I normally dont listen hardcore, so I dont really know like it was mainstream or not ( though I've heard some cheesy singalongs ), but damn, everyone went wild.
He wanted to re-do his act of Decibel 2004, with the rubber bout sailing on the crowd, but he failed miserably. ( Zany came alot further 
)
What I did notice, was that some tracks were played alot ( Brian NRG-Lost in Dreams ( Alpha Twins Remix) and Noisecontrollers-Yellow Minute(Alpha Twins Remix). Heard them like 4 times, bit boring.
And the ending ofcourse with the fireworks, gave me a good feeling, and went off home. Awesome day

tired but alive!
was to late for alphaverb, reached beekse bergen at 12.00. parking was a bit tricky (south) on some fields. epic fail was the walk trough a tunnel - remembers be a bit from duisburg but nothing happend. it doesn't take long to be on the area, that was unexpected nice!. started the day with some go fast and a walk from euhopria over some stages to the main where max was playing - set was pretty good, a good start for a long party!
Korsakoff was good, but IMO the Stage was to small, it was so hot in there..damn wet t-shirt contest 4 free so we've decide to walkg again to the main
First Highlight - Psyko Punkz - insane sound , insane set. incommensurable with the Soundsystem from Defqon 2009, this System fit. Cool was the Up! Stage, the atmosphere was freaky! spent the time between 18-19, best place to chill
interim walking around, a bit DBSTF the opeingng and 20 mins, than a bit Prohet (Pussy Lounge was great!!) and Remember a german DJ - Kai Tracid!
Artist of the Day for me, Zatox - his 1 hours set was an 1 hour Dance. Opening with "New Dimension" some new Zatox Stuff, Gangsta/Choirs Mashup and the lovely Raw Style EP (3 Tracks played?), that was massive - and here again - the sound in the middle was smashin' as hell!
NC - okay, liked the club bizzare remix, decibel anthem"S" and some other but the rest was typical NC, missed Cherish.
adverse was after NC the Act Neophyte - it smells often towars weed and to the left pills-people, to the right lines-people...that was crap. permantly some of them kicks on other feet. To the music, this set was totally boring. 1 hour of boring hardcore, and after 15 mins of playing he has reached the max. pitch on his CDJs (thanks good for the Screens) played some ooooold HC Tracks, totally fail for the Mainstage CLOSING! he attempted to surf on the crowd with rubber dinghy but it ends in a crash a few meters after the main
The Endshow was way betters, presented all areas (like last year), looks pretty nice. congestion on the streets and after waiting for about 1 hours there was a clear way home to NRW Germany

Good morning! What a fucking nice day!
Waked up at 05:30, collecting my friends by car and then we began our trip. Came a bit too late for alphaverb, so we began to explore the areas and ended at the Mainstage, where Max Enforcer played. Some Saifam stuff, HHZ - last of mohicanz ... so so. But the sound was absolutely insane (at all areas btw, respect for the audio engineers!)
Then we left Max Enforcers set and went back to euphoria. All stages were more in warmup-atmosphere, but when we came in the tent The Pitcher already teared it up. What a great set, enough room to go wild and the sound was even better at the Euphoria stage (if you don't are in the bass hole in the middle front). Great
Next stop was again Mainstage: Psyko Punkz. Was disappointing for me. Some Mixing fuckups .. and playing Ran-D - Americano after Yellow Minute ... wtf? fu ..
Then we walked again the whole way back to the Pussy lounge (awesome stage design btw
) and watched Kidd Kaos. What an performance! He went so crazy and played real Hardtrance slammers. He made an awesome build up as well - it went harder and harder. Good DJing skills. Only disappointing was the crowd. They didn't really accepted the Hardtrance.
Now at 16h we recognized that we had no money anymore -.- We already spend all our money on nice drinks and chicken wings in our euphoria We expected to leave in a few hours because we couldn't buy anything to drink. Then we had the awesome idea to fill up some bottles at the water taps near the toilets and found out that anybody else did the same because it's waay cheaper than buying new 0,5l bottles for 5€ again and again -.-
Then we chilled a bit at the foodcourt near the main area because our feets hurted and listened to Wildstylez. Okay set, but he (and HHZ later) started to play this "here we go, you can hear us on your stereo" track again, that failed hard on youtube one year back. But now maybe they think the crowd is brainwashed enough for this track and they could drop it again.
Now it was the time for Donkey Rollers live and we straight walked into the crowd. Was good, but expected more. Jowan is pushing some knobs and DV8 and Zany make some MCing. What was actually "live"? In some vids they have a keyboard after all .. But this time it was just like a playlist.
After the Donkeys it was time for Zatox. Fucking great - A new Dimension. The crowd went automatically wild without some clap your hands shouts by DV8.
We skipped Noisecontrollers because we already saw them at Free Festival. We went to Isaac instead and that was a fucking good descision. Not too crowded, but everyone danced his or her socks off. Great trackhoice, good mixing, some scratching - Isaac Best moment of Decibel for me.
When he finished it was time for HHZ and we leaved to the Loudness area and listened to Acti. Also good atmosphere over there.
We started our way back to the Mainstage, made a break at the remember area because Pavo and Mondello made some kind of a battle. Huge
When we arrived at the Mainstage it was already dark and we listened to Neophyte and watched the endshow. Looked soooooo amazing and was amazing. Nothing more to say.
The way home was really hard. We were so tired and it was very difficult to stay awake. Thank god, nothing happended. Next time we will sleep somewhere. I was at home at 04:30. Now I woke up and still can't realise how great it was.

You need to stay young and open-minded, because you might age but music itself will surely never grow a gray hair.

Hey there, here is my festival review
We started our trip to Beekse Bergen @ 04h00, we were already freaking tired because we didn't sleep that night and the bus we took was ordered by a Hardcore association. I have not got aything against hardcore, but 7 hours in a row when you're trying to sleep.. No We finally got to Hilvarenbeek at ~11h15.
There was a huge crowd at the North entrance but it didn't took more than half an hour to make it up inside.
First thing we did was buying some tokens 10€ for 4 tokens which we thought was ok until we spent all our money on 5€-water-bottles :/
First set we saw is the 20 last minutes of Alphaverb, which were pretty good
Then I was heading to see Max Enforcer @ Mainstage but I had a meeting with Phantomias who didn't show up, which was not a bad thing after all because I got to see The Pitcher @ Euphoria who made an awesome performance from the beginning to the end !
After that we made a huge break and we saw Deepack & Crypsis. I liked the last one, it was pretty raw but I gotta agree with Phantomias for the tracklist order
Then we saw Wildstylez who really got me finally awake again Was nice to hear some tracks that we haven't heard in a while. And yeah there was a new version of " Down with the hardstyle " which was pretty good imo.
I had shiverz when he played Frontliner - Discorecord. That's when I knew I was in my world, which didn't happen before
Then we took a break again during the Donkey's set.
After that it was time for Zatox ! And how fucking cool was that ! He played 3 songs from his new EP, they are all soo sick He made me dance reaaal hard ! Really good time there (l)
And we finally choose to stay at one of the Mainstage's balcony where we could see the Noisecontrollers. And that was more than Epic, it was just magic, the perfect set All their new songs & collab's, the crowd went crazy at almost every climax ! Club Bizarre was awesome !! And I'm almost not ashamed to say that I shed a tear on Attack Again ! Was... 
Made a Neophyte break.
Back to our balcony for the End show, the crazy End show ! Wow. Nothing more I can say.
To sum it up :
Prices : 1/5 - Way too expensive ! Water should be free...
Line up : 4,5/5 - Really good line up But I missed frontliner.
Sound System : 5/5 - Nothing to say, awesome and you were trembeling all the time !
Atmosphere was awesome, no completly drunk people, no fights, just could be better if you had not have to smell some weed every 50m
Was a loong trip home with the bus (and still they were playing hardcore --') but I can't regret anything.
My first festival. And the best day of my life.
P.S. Nice review Phantom'
