DGTL 2017 - Dutch most Innovative Techno Festival - qsounds Music Insight
Holland aka The Netherlands is known by the World for its passion for the Electronic Dance Music with many Top 1 DJs and Producers for several decades already. With 100s of festivals and 1000s of club events each year, Holland features the most dense Electronic Music footprint of the world; Maybe even of the Universe (we do not know about extraterrestrials on other planets, hence the 'maybe').
Sometime ago I wrote about the Best Electronic Dance festivals in my little country (here). Featuring on that list is DGTL. This multi day festival rocked Amsterdam in the weekend of Eater (14-16 April).
The line-up was impressive, and Resident Advisor (one of the key industry resources) listed their favourite top 5 performances (here):
- Maceo Plex & Lord Of The Isles (b2b set)
- Jennifer Cardini
- Oskar Offermann & Edward (b2b set)
- Sandrien
- DJ Koze
My selection is quite different though:
- Mathew Jonson
- HVOB
- Sterac Electronics aka Steve Rachmad

- 1 hour recording here
- Sterac aka Steve Rachmad b2b Konstantin

Innovation by DGTL: The Eco Coin
The coin was given to the party people when buying something and allowed to have some environmental save freebees and discounts. Although not a Crypto currency, is was/is a digital token used as a loyalty coin to create awareness to the public on Eco friendly treatment of the earth.

Great post @edje. I am also a huge fan of electronic music. My favorite festival so far is the fusion festival near Berlin in Germany.
The EcoCoin sounds very interesting, I will check it out and the line up for this year is also amazing.
Too bad, I missed it this year :(
I also created the first spotify playlist ever with my favorite Techno tunes:

Upvoted, followed & resteemed
Super!
Mine too, and I've been too many festivals and club events around the world. Love the sound system at Tanzwiesse!
Dekmantel I do like more than DGTL, their lineup is more my style, ie no big names just for the sake of big names ie lower quality, at least in my opinion :)
Will check it out!
awesome. as soon as we get comminities here on Steem we should start a Techno movement and all meet next year @Fusion (as they pause this year)
Yep, I know, and such a shame... :(
Garbisz could be an alternative, although lots of different music and not so much good Techno, the festival is great to visit. Last year I was there. From music point of view: Petar Dundov was superbe. Konstantin was pretty ok.
Garbisz should also be great. wanted to go last year but did not get tickets in time.
these DJ friends of mine actually went and try to play there this year:
