Tomorrowland is not simply a big party. It is an icon of electronic music that brings together the elite of the international DJ scene every summer. Tens of thousands of people dance to the beats of techno, house or trance, and to sounds that are more experimental and intimate.
That is where Ogazón comes in.
Ogazón did not make a name for herself overnight, but over years, developing a distinctive style. The Luxembourger is one of the few artists who still plays vinyl. Her music is calm and partly minimalist; she belongs to the underground spectrum of electronic music, heard more often in small clubs than at large festivals.
“My music is less commercial, intended for a smaller, more open audience,” she said shortly before her performance. “I want people to simply lose themselves in that space, to let go.”
Although she has lived and worked in Amsterdam and now Berlin in recent years, her connection to Luxembourg remains strong: “I am proud to be the first [female] Luxembourger here.”
Even if she is less known in Luxembourg, the invitation to the biggest festival in the scene shows that her music resonates, she says with a smile. In recent years, Tomorrowland has also grown, with the music becoming partly more mainstream – a risk Ogazón does not see for her work:
“I don’t do this to become famous, but because I love my music. And I stay true to myself.”
The artist has one wish: “I hope I can do this as long as possible, also on big stages.”
