FIRST THING FIRST—- OOPS! PARDON OUR FRENCH!

We are coming to that time of the year again. By that we mean, it’s that time of the year for We The Fest! And this year WTF came back for not their usual 2 days but 3 days! If you’re like us, then you have been preparing for this day since the beginning of the year, because God forbids you’re going to miss this year WTF and break the tradition.

But really, you think you know how to survive #WTF2017? Or probably this is your first time for #WTF since you cried yourself out over not going the previous installments (especially when you saw those celebgram’s feed after last year wtf’s madness). Take a seat and notes, before storming on H&M and become crazy on your summer outfit plan, these are some declassified guidelines for you to survive on WTF.

1. Make sure you secure your 3 Day Pass!

You have to realize that We The Fest is one of the hottest festival in the country, and this year they’re going full force with a 3 day festival. A lot of people would want to go to all 3 days. So we recommend you getting the 3 Day Pass before you regret missing all the fun.

3. Set your own lineup beforehand

WTF is a big festival, meaning it’s going to have more than one stage distributed around JIExpo. Thing is about big festival, your favorite artists might not be performing on the same stage or, God forbid, performing at the same time on different stages. To get the most of the festival, make sure you check We The Fest and/or Ismaya Live social media for schedule updates. Create your own schedule of artists you want to see to make sure you don’t miss any of the fun.

4. Comfy First

While WTF is known to be the most fashionable festival in the country. Every year a lot of people came to the festival wearing well thought out outfit, and they just gets better every year. But the one important thing you have to remember is to wear something comfortable. There’s nothing wrong about getting creative about your outfit, but make sure they are comfortable. You’re going to be active, watching shows, and running around from one stage to the other stage, might as well be comfortable.

5. Get there early

We The Fest is that festival who has everything! Not just music, WTF has arts, games, food that will keep you well occupied and entertained. So before you devour the awesome line up, make sure you come in early to check out everything else. Plus, if you come early, you won’t miss any of the lineup.

6. Keep Hydrated and energized

7. Be In The Moment!

Hey man, imagine being at the festival singing your heart out to your favorite The Kooks tune, or boom clapping to Charli XCX, don’t let anything distract you from that moment. So forget about updating your social media for a while and just be in the moment.

Our ears are still ringing from last Sunday, or is it just us not wanting to let last weekend go? Yes, we ‘re still having a hard time moving on from #DWP16 last weekend (Dec 9th & 10th). Just like last year, DWP came back with two days full great dance music and all round raving time!

So much happened in this year Djakarta Warehouse Project. From having some of the biggest DJ atm to bringing back the biggest paint party, Life in Color Kingdom adding more hype and interest for this dance music festival. In fact, because this year’s DWP promised so much, the hype and excitement for #DWP16 have been heightened months before the actually day of #DWP16. Here are the cycle of excitement we endure during the last few months en route to #DWP16

1. When the first lineup was announced

That moment you saw your favorite DJs name plastered in the official #DWP16 poster, your testosterone level went through the roof. You couldn’t shut up about how good the line up is this year to your mates and they kinda let you freak out until you calm yourself down.

2. When you scored your official ticket to rave

After the line up, came the time to buy your ticket to party. You regularly check up on #DWP16 official social media account to know when the first pre-sale is on. You’ve been saving up since #DWP15 and when you finally got your ticket to rave at #DWP16, you let a sigh of relieve because you finally did it! Permission to rave, granted!

3. -1 Day

A week before the actual day, you started to talk constantly about the upcoming festival. When the day before the big day arrived, your body has shown symptoms of early start of raving. The signs were clear, it’s hard for you to concentrate on your job, you had a hard time sleeping in because all you could think about was how hard you’re going to rave the next day, and your ear craved for some EDM tunes.

4. The Big Day: Day 1 of #DWP16

You’ve been waiting for this day for so long by now. Though it started later on the day, your level of excitement mounted hour after hour since the time you opened your eyes. But the level of your excitement peaked when you finally arrived at JIExpo and saw the iconic Garudha Stage, where most of the magic happened.

Day 1 started with a bang! The lineup at each stages were equally great, made it even more difficult for us to choose. We spent most of our day 1 hanging out at the Neon Jungle stage. Starting with the uber kawaii “TOKIMONSTA”, she may be petite but her stage presence was as grand as the size of the whole crowd. She handled the crowd like a pro!

Next up high on our list was “Snakehips”. The duo played us remixes of classics like “Ms. Jackson”, “Drop it Like It’s Hot”, “Soulja Boy” and even a remix of Rich Chigga’s “Dat $tick”. They wrap up their set with their hit “All My Friends” which got everyone in the crowd raved hard.

The time came for “Alan Walker”. The mysterious, half covered faced DJ had some pumped up energy that was contagious! Getting on and off the deck simultaneously with the confetti!  But the highlight got to be the last number “Faded”, which people were really in to!

“Rudimental” was the highlight of the Neon Jungle Stage for us. They usually travel in group, but even with just DJ Locksmith on deck and Mark Crown blowing the trumpet, they still managed to raise the roof! From playing “Not Giving In” to “Feel the Love” they never failed to deliver. The even played Flume’s “Holdin On” which was a treat.

“Zedd” and “Martin Garrix” equally wow the crowds and closing day 1 at the Garudha Stage. Both DJs were two of the most anticipated and most looked forward acts this year. The crowds definitely showed it!

5. Big Day 2.0: Day 2 of #DWP16

Day 2 rolled on and when you thought you could toned down your excitements just a little bit, but your level of excitement stayed the same, if not heightened. You’re still like a kid in a candy store. Thinking about all the raving you could still do that day made you all giddy inside.

You watch DJ after DJ taking that big stage. “Dipha Barus”, “Lost Frequencies”, “Blasterjaxx”, “DJ Snake”, and “Hardwell” were warming you up for the real party, the “Life in Color” party that is! Yes, #DWP16 brought back the largest paint party in THE WORLD to the “Life in Color Kingdom” stage. It was as wild, as colorful and as animalistic as you thought it would be. This is the time when your level of excitement has reached its max.

6.Post #DWP16 Depression

Good things have to end somehow and it finally hits you that #DWP16 is done and over. Your ears were still ringing, your head heavy with memories of the raving good times the last two days has brought you. Although your sadness and post #DWP16 depression was shortly changed into another excitement about #DWP17.

Whether you like it or not, Djakarta Warehouse Project is something everyone is looking forward to every year, it has become a routine and a part of everyone’s yearly plan. We raised our glass to you #DWP16, what a weekend that was.

As we’re stretching our dancing muscles, we realized that this weekend is going to be our 7th Djakarta Warehouse Project to attend.And yes, we’ve been there before you even can spell EDM *coughs-new ravers-coughs*. From that 7 years, we have seen them all types of people that you meet at a rave party. We won’t be labeling them as ‘the worst type’ or ‘the best type’, you’ll be the judge. So, since you and your group are going to #DWP2016, we’re giving you some heads up on the individuals that you’ll be raging with during the raving.

1.The Virgin

 They will look shy or might be styling themselves with an over the top wardrobe. We’re sure you remember your first #DWP, you must be wearing the clothes that you love the most, the outfit which gives you that dashing look. These rave virgins just radiate the glowing joy and excitement of being exposed to the rave party. Isn’t it great looking at them and they remind you how your first #DWP went. Much love, kids.

2. The Hammered Babies

 We’re not pointing that these ones who got wasted too much as the worst, BUT REALLY, you’re going to notice this type of people easily. Actually there are two types of the hammered babies. First, the ones who got wasted even before the rave lit – they hit the booze way too early then they just missed the whole party because busy puking. The second is those who got wasted after several punches and crazily smashed the whole party. Time your drinking game wisely kid!

3. The Cynicals

 This. We’ve been to DWP for so many times *winking at Ismaya Troopers* and confusingly, we always meet those people who are so cynical of the fest. They will drop and complain shit comments then mock the ravers, DUH! if they hate EDM so much, why they bother raving. Make way for the real raver to rave! Oh, they must have got the tickets for free.

4. The Cool Kids

You know those groups of know it all who act like they own the place? Yes, you’ll find some of those at #DWP. Beware, they can get a bit, or too loud from time to time. Other thing is, they always travels in group. Don’t let them block your way of having a great time!

5. The Veterans

 The most respectable status amongst all #DWP goers, the veterans. The old player, the ones who have been there since the beginning. They have been going to this rave party for so long now that it’s become a tradition for them. You won’t see them going crazy or going nonsense drunk, no they play it cool. We salute you DWP veterans. Teach us your ways.

These are just a glimpse type of people you’d see at #DWP. Who knows there’ll be new types of raver to add to the list. So, from those five types, which type are you?
