Hard Trance Alliance

BACK TO THE 90s!

Get ready to be transported straight back to the golden era of hard trance! A time when music was raw, hypnotic, and full of energy. This event is a full-on tribute to that iconic sound—deep, driving, and emotional. To keep things 100% authentic, all DJs will be spinning vinyl only, just like it was done back in the day. No sync buttons, no USBs, no screens, pure wax!

To keep the atmosphere pure and immersive, we’re enforcing a strict no-phone policy. No distractions, just you, the music, and the dancefloor. Come lose yourself in the trance.

Headlining this journey into the golden age of hard trance is none other than Belgium’s own Franky Jones, a true legend from the legendary Bonzai Records. Known also for his role in the legendary duo Jones & Stephenson and co-creator of the timeless anthem “The First Rebirth”, which gives the name to this event, Franky will be delivering a special 3-turntable vinyl set that promises to be nothing short of historic.

In addition to our headliner, we’ve invited a selection of truly dedicated vinyl warriors, each bringing their own tribute to the golden days of hard trance. DJ PulseX will take us on a powerful journey through the first five D.Trance CDs by Gary D.—a compilation that defined mid-90s hard trance and fuelled the energy of legendary clubs like Tunnel in Hamburg.

Akemio Grey steps up with a Rave Parade tribute set, celebrating the iconic compilation series that shaped his love for electronic music. Expect a euphoric blend of hard trance with a strong happy hardcore influence—true 90s ecstasy energy on wax.

And last but definitely not least, Spain’s own Martinni aka Marteens will deliver a unique hard trance set rooted in the distinct sounds of Spanish producers. His performance will pay homage to the energetic and emotional essence of Spanish hard trance, seamlessly infused with the unmistakable rhythms of Makina—a sound born from the underground dancefloors of Spain.

Come and relive the golden era of hard trance music — a time when the beats were harder, the energy was raw, and the dancefloors were sacred. This is your chance to experience the true spirit of 90s rave culture, where hypnotic melodies, pounding kicks, and euphoric breakdowns ruled the night. Let the vinyl spin, the strobes flash, and the memories come alive.

WE ARE HARD TRANCING!
