17 August 2018 at Hietaranta Beach, Helsinki
We are experiencing the best, the hottest and the most pleasant summer ever in Finland. The continuous sunny days since this early May has reached atop of climate record, the whole nation owns the lovely vibe to dine out, to sing aloud and to rock at Weekend Festival near Kamppi metro station, Hietaranta Beach.
Having joined Weekend Festival in 2017,which The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Alan Walker, Deadmau5 & Clean Bandit offered the ultimate EDM experiences, while the main lineups of 2018 excite my Adrenaline merely on 17ththe Friday—The PRODIGY plus Axwell & Ingrosso, still DJ ZHU also evokers my high interest. With four distinct music regions and mixing with hip hops rising stars in between, the EDM festival features some truly awe-inspiring stage production and fireworks displays is always promising at the finale artists.
The outfits at 2018 Weekend Festival is inspired by British punk spirit from VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, this blended with silk and metallic material corset, which I purchased at Kaohsiung Vivienne Westwood flagship store in 2007, is either sexier to wear one-shoulder bare style, or wrap around the jeans and drape the rest part of the fabric above the ankles. GINA TRICOT high-waist grey jeans, with purposed scratches have cut by my own design is a seasonal bargain to be free concern of mud or dust, and YVES SAINT LAURENT python-effect calfskin espadrilles, purchased in Helsinki at 50% off, are perfect to adjust the distance walk or long stand. VIVIENNE WESTWOOD orb pearl bracelet and CHAO&EERO BUBBLE and SMILE ring rock together with WKND chip ticket bracelet. Last but not the least, that CHLOÉ ivory acetate round shape sunglasses, with frame in width 14 cm & height 5cm, stay as must-have accessories to prevent the UV and provide edgy look of festival day.
2018 Weekend Festival Friday at entrance we start with a group of three, while at DJ ZHU’s performance, we encounter several mutual friends and the gang becomes a pack of ten. At 16:00 we have some muikku combo and KOFF beer, do some photo shooting and location scouting. The sunset makes the beach scenery into a romantic boulevard, so we chitchat, we stroll around, we enjoy the company, we slightly impatient for the upcoming professional performances.
Originated from Essex, England, THE PRODIGY first emerged in the underground rave scene in the early 1990s and drew my bro and my attention with the first narrative and shaking cinematography music video “Smack My Bitch Up” from their 1997 UK and US chart-topping album The Fat of the Land. Following smash hits such as “Firestarter”, “Diesel Power” or the amazing hardcore beat "Breathe", THE PRODIGY’s premiere single “Wind It UP” or “Voodoo People” and “Poison” from 1994 album Music from the Jilted Generation are impossible to ignore from ears and sights. February 2006 with my bro, at Taipei Football Stadium was the unforgettable hypertension memory to immerse at the universe of THE PRODIGY; over one decade later, in August 2018 here we are fire starters full of diesel power, wind it up and ready to breathe with the pressure.
DJ/producers Liam Howlett and Maxim do not prolong the introduction, shortly THE PRODIGY front man Keith Flint wearing white shirt, black bib shorts, new green and blond dyed devil horn hairdo, smiles and hops for the prelude of “Breathe”, within a blink the whole area bursts out both the vocal and physical explosion. THE PRODIGY demonstrate the live version of “Invaders Must Die” and “Run With the Wolves” from their 2009 album, and “The Day is My Enemy” of their latest release, no doubt that ‘Smack My Bitch Up” and “Firestarter” are the most well-known hardcore beat. The production from THE PRODIGY often reflect the more intelligent edge of trip-hop, and rarely break into the mindless arena of true big beat or whispering. Maxim and Keith utter the F word to greet Helsinki, we “Wild Frontier”, we surely ‘always outnumbered, never outgunned’.
Axwell Λ Ingrosso is a Swedish DJ duo consisting of Swedish House Mafia members Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso. On 10 May 2017, Axwell & Ingrosso released their second EP’s first single “More Than You Know”, which, gaining certifications in whole Nordic Europe. As finale artists at Main Stage on Friday 17th, Axwell Λ Ingrosso play and trick several hits from Michael Jackson to The Chainsmokers, as well as their new single “Dreamer”. While the music video of “More Than You Know shows up on the double screens, the piles of fans raise up our arms and sing out loud. The stage lights turn into neon purple, and T.G.I. Friday completes wonderfully with fireworks filled with peachy pink, dark orange, crimson red and mustard yellow in the deep purple sky.
