Fisher
Tomorrowland 2022 - WE2
Fisher's Tomorrowland 2022 set is a masterclass in tech-house as stadium sport, where every drop is a cultural event and subtlety is something that happens to other people. We're here for the big, dumb, beautiful fun of it all, screaming 'Yeah, baby!' without a hint of irony. The MainStage is a sea of neon and flying champagne, pure spectacle. Averaging 127.7 BPM, this is pure, unadulterated tech-house fuel, designed for maximum impact. The energy balance is telling: lows at 0.5147, mids at 0.369, and highs at 0.116—it's a full-spectrum assault.
Harmonically, it's a mix of 12A and 4B, providing enough lift for the anthems without getting too complicated. The mixing is big and bold, with cuts and drops that are felt in the chest. The tracklist reads like a festival bingo card. Anti Up's 'Chromatic' is a sleazy, bass-driven opener. The Tony Romera remix of 'Raw' is a contemporary tech-house weapon with a razor-sharp lead.
Round Table Knights' 'Calypso' is a timeless, sample-heavy groove that still destroys floors. The true peak moment is the Charlotte de Witte & Enrico Sangiuliano remix of 'The Age Of Love', a trance-techno hybrid that feels utterly colossal in this context. And of course, Bellini's 'Samba de Janeiro' edit is the kind of cheesy, genius inclusion that defines Fisher's brand. It builds from the unknown, explodes with 'The Age Of Love', and sends everyone home singing along to his own rework of Bob Sinclar's 'World Hold On'.
