\Address
Universiteit Twente, Drienerlolaan 5, Enschede.

\Times
We start at 14:00 and continue until midnight. Come early to avoid potential waiting times at the entrance!

\Bring something warm
The weather forecasts are fantastic indeed! However, it can cool off quite a bit in the evening. A nice and warm jumper is definitely recommended.

\Outdoor
This event is outdoor, but the main stage is sheltered. The second area is out in the open. Dancing in the sun or forgetting the time in a dark techno structure, the choice is yours!

\Corona restrictions
We’ll give you the short answer: none!

While a blissful reunion was taking place in the sun, others stepped into the dark tunnel. It was a day to never forget 💕 Behold how exquisitely everything was photographed by Rachel Ecclestone, Stef van Oosterhout and Mark Ooms.

The full album can be found here.

A perfect day in the sun and a simmering experience in the tunnel. It took place parallel during DE REACTIE, but was compiled in this phenomenal video. Sound on, curtains closed, and back to Wednesday…

Basic Grooves ist eine der führenden Techno-Organisationen in den Niederlanden. Die berüchtigten Clubnächte sind zu einem Eckpfeiler der Techno-Szene im Osten geworden. In den letzten Jahren haben Künstler wie Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, DVS1, Avalon Emerson, Charlotte de Witte und Paula Temple den Weg nach Enschede gefunden.

Basic Grooves wurde 1996 gegründet, als Reaktion auf die wachsende Popularität der elektronischen Musik. Die Clubnächte wurden bald zu einem Brutplatz für eine ganz neue Generation von Künstlern und Organisatoren, von Joris Voorn bis Brent Roozendaal.

Nach den Clubnächten folgt am Ende der Saison ein riesiger Rave am King’s Day (27. April), genannt DE REACTION. Der Ort dieses Raves ist Langezijds, ein ehemaliges Chemielabor auf dem Campus der Universität Twente. Im April 2019 wird es die letzte Gelegenheit geben, diese brillante Location angesichts der geplanten Renovierungen zu erleben.

Schließlich steht Basic Grooves auch hinter dem einzigen Techno-Festival in dieser Ecke des Landes: Under The Radar Festival. Dieses House & Techno Festival findet auf einem verlassenen Militärflugplatz in Enschede statt. Die erste Ausgabe war ein großer Erfolg, mit positiven Reaktionen des Resident Advisor und vieler Künstler aus dem Line-Up. Die zweite Ausgabe ist für den 27. Juli geplant, und das wird etwas sein, worauf man sich freuen kann.

Letztendlich ist unsere Leidenschaft für Techno unsere Motivation. Techno-Events durch eine spezielle Gruppe von Musikfans.

Things are moving and it shows! It’s no surprise really, now that the government is opening our industry as well, without any restrictions.

The regular presale for DE REACTIE 2022 starts at 16:00h today. 👏  The prospects are good with an artist like Dax J: a headliner of note that hasn’t played our side of the country before. Or VTSS, who managed to steal our hearts in one night with her incredible set in the Muziekcentrum last fall.

Location reveal, anyone? This is where it’s happening the 27th. And as you can see we’re going all out this year. Kingsday, Universiteit Twente, Enschede. We bring the music and drinks, you bring your dance crew. Deal?

Get your ticket today!

The tide is turning! Slowly but surely more and more positive sounds are doing the rounds, and it’s sounding optimistic through the grapevine. With DE REACTIE (Kingsdag) on our horizon, our hearts are starting to beat faster as well.

But as it often is, we first have to cash in another setback. We won’t be able to get a permit for the Drukpershal, even though this was all sorted for the edition in November. But after over 2 years of cancellations this on top? No way. If we can’t get a characteristic industrial location for our event, then we’ll build one our damn selves!

We’re getting a one time opportunity to build our own location on the beautiful terrain of the Universiteit Twente campus. More info on the new presale and line-up will follow soon! And regarding DE REACTIE in the Drukpershal: stay tuned…

Not to be missed: accessibility for DE REACTIE! Our location on Universiteit Twente can be found easily in several ways. If you’re having trouble finding your way with 9292, here’s a few options to consider:

🚲 +/- 15 minutes from Enschede station
🚆 +/- 15 minute walk from Enschede Kennispark station
🚌 +/- 5 minute walk from Kennispark/UT bus stop
🚗  free parking at Grolsch Veste

Make sure you have a good look at the last option to come home in case you choose public transport. Of course there is plenty of space for all your bicycles and share scooters!

Yet another surprise! A second stage in intimate setting is a longstanding tradition for DE REACTIE. This year however, you’ll find this stage on the grass between the trees. 27 April (Kingsday) together with Enschede’s finest:

Joep & Remma
LUW
Mickael
Naru Kami
Samul
Ties

Es ist unmöglich, in weniger als zwei Minuten das Gefühl von DE REACTIE vom vergangenen Samstag zu vermitteln. Aber noch näher werden wir dich dem nicht bringen können. Respekt an den Videofilmer Tom Knol.
